According to public records, the popular rapper NBA YoungBoy is scheduled to be released from prison on July 27, 2025. The 25-year-old artist, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden, is currently incarcerated at the Talladega Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Alabama.
According to a report by All Hip Hop DX, YoungBoy’s current imprisonment is a result of a plea deal he agreed to regarding a gun possession charge and his participation in a prescription medication fraud scheme. The private agreement, made in September 2024, compelled the rapper to acknowledge his possession of several illegal firearms during the filming of a music video in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2020.
YoungBoy initially agreed to a sentence of 23 months in prison, along with five years of probation and a $200,000 fine. Additionally, he was required to surrender the firearms involved in the case. However, there was a modification to his sentencing, which resulted in a reduction considering the time he has already served until May 2024. As a result, he is now set to be released this summer.
