Rapper
NBA YoungBoy was recently arrested by the FBI in LA. The incident happened on
Monday, March 22, after which he apparently fled the scene. He apparently fled
from LAPD officers when they stopped him at the traffic stop and they had a
warrant as well.

As
per the statement by Baton Rouge’s WBRZ, NBA YoungBoy (also known as Kentrell
DeSean Gaulden) was taken into custody because he fled from the scene. The LA Police
tried to pull the car over, because he had a connection with an outstanding
federal warrant.

Following
a quick chase, Gaulden stopped his car once he figured that he might have
rubbed the police officers the wrong way. It took them a K-9 to track them
down. It is now being said that the LAPD officers discovered a firearm in the
car – they weren’t sure if it belonged to the rapper. The spokesperson for NBA
YoungBoy or that of his attorney hasn’t responded when asked for a comment.

However,
it has been revealed that the FBI is currently taking care of the charges of
this case as well as the case itself. The FBI spokesperson has also told
Billboard that it cannot speak right now as the investigation is still ongoing.
The FBI has declined to verify whether or not the rapper is still in custody.

He
was arrested in his native place Baton Rouge back in September as well; he was
shooting with 16 others and had drugs and weapons in place. According to those
investigations, he was charged for possession of a schedule 1 drug, and also
for distributing schedule 2 and 4 drugs. In addition, there has been no mention
of firearm charges.

His
attorney, James Manasseh spoke to Billboard after September arrest. He said
that the law enforcement authorities arrived after they received a tip from
someone. They were apparently told that guns and drugs were present on site
without any evidence.

He
said: “Kentrell Gaulden is innocent
of the crimes he was arrested for yesterday evening. He did not possess any
firearms nor did he possess any controlled dangerous substances. No firearms or
controlled dangerous substances were found on Mr. Gaulden’s person or in his
immediate control.”

It
should be kept in mind that the young rapper has been in trouble for quite some
time – at least, in the last couple of months. He had several run-ins with the
law last year, starting from February in Atlanta. They said that he was charged
for disorderly conduct charge. Next, he was charged again in June and that was
serious – for a second degree murder charge!
