YoungBoy Never Broke Again, also known as Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has been sentenced to 23 months in prison in a federal gun case that dates back to 2020. The Louisiana-born rapper was charged with multiple counts of possessing firearms as a convicted felon. However, he recently reached a global plea deal that also reduces four other charges to misdemeanors and resolves a separate case involving prescription fraud. YoungBoy Never Broke Again is expected to receive credit for time served and could potentially be released next year, followed by a 60-month probation period.
Legal Battles and Plea Deal
YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s attorneys, Drew Findling, Jeremy M. Delicino, and Jon Williams, issued a statement expressing their satisfaction with the outcome of the case. They stated, “This has been a long road that involved extensive litigation and ultimately extensive negotiation. Kentrell’s defense team is very happy for Kentrell and we look forward to his many future successes.”
Residence and Arrest
Since 2021, YoungBoy Never Broke Again has been residing in Utah. He spent over two years under house arrest before being transferred to jail in May. The transfer came after police officers raided his home and allegedly found evidence of a “large-scale prescription drug fraud ring” and a gun. While the musician agreed to plead guilty to charges related to the drug ring last month, he was not sentenced to time in a Utah state prison as originally anticipated, given that he was expected to serve time in federal prison.
