NBA YoungBoy has had a turbulent year, facing serious legal troubles related to an alleged prescription drug fraud scheme. In April 2023, authorities arrested him on 63 charges, including identity fraud, forgery, and possession of controlled substances.
At the time of his arrest, he was already on house arrest in Utah at “Grave Digger Mountain,” awaiting trial for a separate case.
NBA YoungBoy’s Guilty Plea and Sentencing
In November 2024, NBA YoungBoy pleaded guilty to 10 charges while opting for a no-contest plea for the remaining allegations. As a result, he was sentenced to 23 months in prison and an additional 60 months of probation.
Earlier reports suggested that he would remain behind bars until July 2025. However, recent developments indicate that the rapper will be released much sooner than expected.

The news comes shortly after Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, the half-brother of Birdman and Slim, shared an update on NBA YoungBoy’s time in prison.
Williams claimed that the rapper allegedly knocked out another inmate at Talladega Federal Prison after the inmate shouted “OTF,” referring to Lil Durk’s crew. NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk have had ongoing tensions in the past.
