Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, aka “NBA YoungBoy,” landed in the slammer in Baton, Rouge Louisiana on Monday on weapons charges. News reports there say the rapper was allegedly among a group of 16 people who were arrested for firearm possession and faces a number of drug, felony possession, and stolen firearms charges. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office told Page Six that he remained in custody as of Tuesday, and no court date or bond had been set.
According to WAFB, the rapper’s attorney James Manasseh said in a statement, “There’s nothing in the report that indicates that he did anything wrong. They arrested several people and there was no indication that he had any guns or drugs on him at the time of the arrest. I ultimately believe he will be found innocent in all of this.”
NBA YoungBoy’s most recent output was 38 Baby 2 his sixteenth mixtape, released on April 24 and featuring YoungBoy’s mother Sherhonda Gaulden and rapper DaBaby.
