Popular singer, NBA YoungBoy released from prison

Popular American rapper Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, known as NBA YoungBoy, has been released from prison.

According to reports, he was freed on Monday, March 24, 2025. Jamaican-American podcaster DJ Akademiks shared the news on X, stating that YoungBoy had either been transferred to a halfway house or was heading home.

YoungBoy had been serving a 27-month sentence on federal charges. In 2024, he entered a no-contest plea for 36 additional charges.

However, Judge Spencer Walsh later reduced his felony charges to Class A misdemeanors and imposed a $25,000 fine instead.
