YoungBoy Never Broke Again (fka NBA YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden) is facing jail time after the judge stated during a court hearing that the rapper violated the terms of his probation by appearing in a social media post to discuss last weekend’s attempt on his life in Miami. Gaulden was the target of a shooting on May 12 that left his girlfriend Kaylyn Marie Long wounded and one innocent bystander dead. Gaulden was not injured in the attack.
Judge Bonnie Jackson gave Gaulden three years of probation and a suspended 10-year prison sentence for aggravated assault with a firearm back in 2017. According to Louisiana news outlet The Advocate and TMZ, Jackson has now ordered Gaulden detained and stated that she plans to revoke the probation after she saw a video online showing a person who appears to be Gaulden “talking trash and smack.” (One of the terms of Gaulden’s probation was that he refrain from any social media activity.) Pitchfork can confirm via Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office records that Gaulden was booked earlier today.
Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for NBA YoungBoy for further comment.
