Trump Pardons Rapper NBA Youngboy, Who Was Sentenced for Gun-Related Charges
- President Donald Trump pardoned Louisiana rapper NBA YoungBoy on Wednesday for gun-related charges that had resulted in a prison sentence in Utah.
- The pardon followed NBA YoungBoy's 2024 federal sentencing after he pleaded guilty to possessing firearms as a convicted felon and resolving multiple state and federal charges.
- Kentrell Gaulden, known as NBA YoungBoy, had admitted to possessing several handguns while filming a video in Baton Rouge and at his home in Utah and agreed to surrender the weapons.
- Gaulden was sentenced to about 23 months in prison, fined $200,000, received five years probation, was released in March with home confinement, and the pardon removes his probation obligations including drug testing.
- The pardon allows Gaulden to avoid further legal restrictions, focus on his career and family, and prepare for a major U.S. Tour starting in September, as he expressed gratitude toward Trump in a public statement.
