On November 28, 17-year-old Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy was arrested before a scheduled performance in Austin, Texas. Video from the incident shows U.S. Marshals entering the venue just before the performance and records from the Travis County Sheriff's Office stated that YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, had been booked and was awaiting extradition to another jurisdiction. NBA YoungBoy, who now goes by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, has reportedly been charged with attempted first degree murder.
He is currently being held at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. A deputy at the prison confirmed to XXL that YoungBoy is being held on $200,000 bond for the attempted murder charge.
The rapper was arrested back in November in Austin and was held without bond after police raided his show. All that was known at the time was that he was being held on an out of state warrant for an undetermined felony. He was then extradited from Austin to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his hometown and booked on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, his Twitter account sent out a special message to his fans. "I appreciate all my fans for my letters 🤘🏾 #FREENBAYOUNGBOY," the post said.
