NBA YoungBoy is also getting ready to drop his last album with Atlanta Records on Aug 5, titled “The Last Slimeto.” In early April, YoungBoy dropped “The Last Slimeto Sampler” with seven new tracks in the preview. The Baton Rouge rapper has displayed an impressive work ethic, with a tour on the way.
NBA YoungBoy’s Legal Saga
The not guilty verdict on Friday came following an extensive and public trial. The prosecution charged NBA Youngboy with federal weapons charges on a pistol found when carrying out a warrant. His possession of the weapon was illegal, and he is serving probation for a 2017 aggravated assault charge. The court eventually found YoungBoy not guilty, with the defense citing a lack of fingerprints on the weapon.
NBA YoungBoy’s tour with the law is not yet entirely out of the woods, with another court date in his hometown of Baton Rouge. He faces charges of drug distribution, felony possession, and stolen firearms. In September 2020, Officers arrested YoungBoy and fifteen others after a music video shoot, seizing drugs, weapons, and cash.
NBA YoungBoy has served his three-year probation for aggravated assault and is now awaiting trial. His trial date is expected for early August, also coincidentally near the release of his new album. After the case, YoungBoy is eager to return on tour with new tracks to show off for his fans.
