From KUTV

Rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again, also known as NBA Youngboy or YB, will enter a guilty plea to one count of possession of firearms by a convicted felon. The case was transferred from the Middle District of Louisiana to the District of Utah on Friday.

2News obtained court documents that shows NBA Youngboy, whose real name is Kentrell D. Gaulden, signed a "consent and transfer of case for plea and sentence document."

The document signed says, "I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present, and to waive trial in the above captioned district." The document was signed on Wednesday, August 14.

Gaulden is charged with a count of possession of firearms by a convicted felon stemming from a 2020 music video shoot in Baton Rouge. He was arrested in September 2020, where he and other men are accused of waiving firearms while shooting the music video.

Meanwhile in Utah, Gaulden was arrested back in April, 2024 on allegations stemming from a prescription fraud ring with ongoing cases in Cache County and Weber County. At one point, nearly 63 charges were being brought against Gaulden from Cache County; another three charged were filed by Weber County on April 26, 2024 —possession of a firearm by a restricted person felony charge and two counts of fraudulently obtaining a prescription.
