Floyd Mayweather, known for his generosity, has yet again showcased unwavering support, this time directed towards NBA YoungBoy amid the rapper’s federal firearms trial. In a recent court ruling, a video depicting NBA YoungBoy with a firearm became admissible evidence, presenting a challenge for the artist who, as a convicted felon in a 2017 case for aggravated assault, is legally prohibited from possessing firearms.

Currently, under house arrest pending the trial outcome, YoungBoy faces a crucial legal battle. Interestingly, his ex-father-in-law jumped in to provide some much-needed help to the artist. From the latest update from YoungBoy, it seems that the help was received.

NBA YoungBoy’s Legal Troubles…

NBA YoungBoy, also as Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, has hit a snag in his federal firearms trial. A pivotal video, initially excluded, is now admissible evidence portraying the rapper in violation of federal gun laws. The U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the initial decision, stating, “Kentrell Gaulden, a rapper professionally called YoungBoy Never Broke Again, or NBA YoungBoy, succeeded in suppressing a video that showed him, a felon, violating federal gun laws.”
