Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Rapper NBA YoungBoy was arrested on Tuesday (April 16) on multiple charges in Utah, escalating the legal troubles for the 24-year-old artist already awaiting trial for federal gun charges.

Now, NBA YoungBoy faces a series of accusations, from drug-related offenses to forgery and possession of a dangerous weapon, as per the Cache County Sheriff’s Office records.

Gaulden’s recent run-in with the law adds to his complex legal history.

He is currently on house arrest in Utah. The rapper is waiting to go on trial after an arrest in Baton Rouge in September 2020 during a video shoot.

Investigators said they caught NBA YoungBoy with a 45-caliber gun and a 9mm as well.

This arrest could potentially influence the trajectory of YoungBoy’s trial, scheduled to start in July 2024.

The specific charges from this latest arrest include a pattern of unlawful activity, procuring drugs or prescriptions unlawfully, identity fraud, forgery, and possession of both controlled substances and a dangerous weapon by a restricted person.
