NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to a prescription drug fraud ring operating from his Utah residence.

The 25-year-old rapper accepted a plea deal for: - Two counts of third-degree felony identity fraud - Two counts of third-degree felony forgery - Six counts of misdemeanor unlawful pharmacy conduct

As part of the agreement: - No prison time will be served in Utah - Four felony charges reduced to Class A Misdemeanors - $25,000 fine imposed - Expected to serve 27 months in federal prison in Weber County, Utah - Five years of federal supervised probation after release

Gaulden has been under house arrest in Utah since 2021, following his alleged involvement in a 2019 Miami shooting. His relocation to Utah was part of a legal strategy to "keep YoungBoy out of trouble."

Judge Spencer Walsh expressed hope for the rapper's future, stating, "I've seen so many times where you have young men and women who have a lot of talent and potential. They can be robbed of that potential when they start to really struggle with their addictions. I don't want that for you."

As YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Gaulden's musical achievements include: - Four #1 albums on the Billboard 200 - One Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 - Grammy nomination in 2022 for "Wusyaname" with Tyler, The Creator and Ty Dolla $ign
