YoungBoy Never Broke Again told a judge that he would be far less likely to engage in criminal activity if he were granted a move into his Utah home.
The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, wore a white mask and handcuffs at his court hearing, where his legal team laid out their proposed plan for YoungBoy’s release. Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick previously refused his release on bond, stating that Gaulden is “inclined toward reckless, illegal, dangerous behavior.” However, when he’s in Utah, YoungBoy argues that he’s far less likely to get into trouble, which is why he wants to move there.
Dick did not make a decision on Monday about YoungBoy’s plan, which includes a move into his Utah home, which he bought to be closer to a childhood tutor who took him under her wing. The rapper’s legal team noted that, while staying with the tutor’s extended family, YoungBoy has refrained from any criminal activity. His adoptive family would be “eager” to help him stay out of trouble, which is seemingly what YoungBoy needs to be able to enjoy the next stages of his music career.
A few weeks ago, YoungBoy released his album Sincerely, Kentrell from behind bars, becoming just the third rapper to ever get a #1 album from prison. We will continue to keep you posted on YoungBoy’s legal situation, but hopefully, this helps him get out soon.
