Why Was Nba Youngboy In Jail? – We take a look at the rapper’s complicated legal history and the events that led to his most recent stint behind bars.

NBA Youngboy’s Legal Troubles

In September 2016, NBA Youngboy was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder. The charges stemmed from a drive-by shooting that took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Youngboy has been in and out of jail ever since.

NBA Youngboy’s first arrest

In February 2017, NBA Youngboy was arrested in Tallahassee, Florida and charged with first-degree attempted murder after shooting a man outside a hotel room. The victim survived the shooting and NBA Youngboy was released on bond in April 2017.

In June 2017, NBA Youngboy was arrested again in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm after getting into a fight with another rapper and shooting at him. He was released on bond in July 2017.

Both of these cases are still pending.

NBA Youngboy’s second arrest

In February 2017, just a few months after being released from jail, NBA Youngboy was arrested again on drug and weapons charges. He was arrested alongside his brother and another man, and all three were charged with possession of marijuana, illegal carrying of a weapon, and possession of a stolen firearm. NBA Youngboy was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

NBA Youngboy’s Third Arrest

American rapper NBA Youngboy was arrested on three counts of attempted first-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting that occurred in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2016. The arrest took place on February 25, 2017.

Earlier this year, on February 25th, NBA Youngboy was arrested in Tallahassee, Florida on seven felony charges, including two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, two counts of kidnapping, and one count each of attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery and drug possession.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred on February 12th, in which NBA Youngboy and his girlfriend Jania Jackson were involved in a fight with another couple, Jila Jacobs and Michael Maggs. During the fight, NBA Youngboy allegedly pulled out a gun and fired several shots at Jacobs and Maggs.

Both Jacobs and Maggs were hit by the gunfire; Jacobs was struck in the head and Maggs was hit in the chest. Both victims were taken to the hospital for treatment; Maggs was later released, but Jacobs remained in critical condition.

NBA Youngboy was arrested on February 25th and has been in jail since then. His bail was set at $75,000, but he has not been able to post bond. He is currently awaiting trial on the charges against him.

NBA Youngboy’s third arrest

NBA Youngboy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, was arrested on Saturday (February 25) in Tallahassee, Florida.

The 19-year-old rapper is facing multiple charges, including kidnapping, drug possession and aggravated assault.

This is the third time Gaulden has been arrested in the past year. He was previously arrested in Louisiana in April 2016 on charges of attempted first-degree murder, and again in October 2016 on a charge of marijuana possession.

It is not yet clear what led to Gaulden’s most recent arrest, or if any other people are involved.

NBA Youngboy’s Fourth Arrest

The events leading up to NBA Youngboy’s fourth arrest

In the early hours of Saturday morning (Feb. 29), Baton Rouge police responded to a shooting outside the Cypress Bayou Casino in Charenton, Louisiana. When they arrived, they found one man dead and two others wounded.

Witnesses told police that the shooter fled the scene in a car with several other people. A description of the vehicle was broadcast over police radio, and within minutes, cops spotted a car matching that description and began pursuing it.

The chase ended when the car crashed into a utility pole, and the people inside tried to run away. Police were able to apprehend four of the five people in the car; NBA Youngboy (born Kentrell Gaulden) was one of them.

He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If convicted, he faces life in prison.

NBA Youngboy’s fourth arrest

On October 26, 2016, NBA Youngboy was arrested in Tallahassee, Florida on charges of aggravated battery, kidnapping and weapons possession. This was his fourth arrest in less than two years.
The 19-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, was arrested along with two other men after a physical altercation with a woman in a hotel room. According to the police report, the victim suffered “visible injuries” and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
NBA Youngboy was released on $75,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on November 16.
This is not the first time the rapper has been in trouble with the law. In 2015, he was arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to two years probation.
In 2016, he was arrested on charges of drug possession and reckless endangerment after a high-speed chase with police in Atlanta, Georgia. He pleaded guilty to those charges and was sentenced to one year probation.
Then, just weeks after being released from jail in September 2016, he was arrested again on charges of disorderly conduct and marijuana possession in Shreveport, Louisiana.
NBA Youngboy has been considered one of the most promising young rappers in the industry, but his string of arrests has derailed his career. His record label has dropped him and his music has been removed from streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
It remains to be seen whether NBA Youngboy will be able to turn his life around and get back on track, but for now, he remains behind bars awaiting trial.
