NBA YoungBoy to be released from prison in July after plea deal on gun charges

Rapper NBA YoungBoy, sentenced to 23 months in December for gun charges, is now set to be released from prison on July 27, 2025. This is earlier than his original sentence due to time served while awaiting trial. YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, pleaded guilty to federal gun charges related to incidents in Louisiana and Utah. His legal team negotiated a settlement that reduced his potential prison time significantly. It remains unclear if YoungBoy will transition directly to probation or enter a halfway house upon release. His attorney and federal prosecutors have not commented on the new release date.
