NBA YoungBoy is winning support and sympathy from academics after recently meeting in Utah.
On Saturday (May 25), the internet personality revealed that he visited the Baton Rouge native and had the opportunity to see up close what he is currently going through.
“I’m praying for NBA Youngboy,” Ak wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I went to Gravedigger Mountain…I sat with him and talked to him…argued with him…
“This is an artist and a man who was unfairly isolated, tortured and thought to be an evil person, but he was not that person. How Yair was charged and he had to live in a room Years without resolution He has defeated 1 federal case. [in July 2022]”.
YoungBoy was charged with “felon possession of a firearm” in his home state and has been under house arrest in Utah since October 2021.

Last month, YoungBoy was charged with 63 counts involving identity fraud, forgery, obtaining a prescription by false pretenses, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, pattern of unlawful activity and possession of a controlled substance.
In early May, KUTV reported that more charges were added to the controversial rapper’s list, including possession of a firearm by a restricted person and two counts of obtaining a prescription without a license.
Days later, New Orleans’ FOX 8 revealed during a court hearing that YB’s bond was set at $100,000. Additionally, his arraignment is scheduled for July.
A Louisiana spitter was arrested last month in connection with a prescription drug fraud ring in Utah.
Here’s how his alleged scheme worked, according to the affidavit: “The suspect solicited prescriptions, claimed to be a real doctor, and used fraudulent patient names and birthdates, all for promethazine and codeine. Prescription Sometime after being brought in, they will be dispensed and administered by [YoungBoy and/or people referred to as ‘Known Associates’ 1 and 2]”.
The 24-year-old even allegedly impersonated a doctor in the scheme, but suspicions were raised when he used the word “axe” instead of “ask”.
