Rapper NBA YoungBoy Arrested On Kidnapping Warrant

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) YoungBoy Never Broke Again (born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden) has been arrested in Tallahassee, Florida for an outstanding felony warrant, Leon County Sheriff's Office records confirm. The "Outside Today" rapper was scheduled to perform at The Moon nightclub in Florida's capital city. NBA's tour bus was stopped by authorities who ran a check on the rapper and discovered he had a warrant in Georgia for allegedly committing assault, weapons violations and kidnapping. This does not appear to have anything to do with the fight the rapper nearly got into at Lenox Mall in Atlanta last month. The fugitive warrant stems from Waycross, Ga., which is in the southern part of the state near the Georgia-Florida line. He is scheduled to face a judge on Monday (Feb. 26).

Born Kentrell Gaulden, the 19-year-old rapper is no stranger to run-ins with the law. He was released from prison last May after pleading guilty to lesser charges from a prior attempted murder case. In that incident, NBA confessed to firing off a couple of shots on Baton Rouge's Kentucky Street on Nov. 2, 2016. Local authorities believed the shooting was in retaliation from the killing of Keondrae Ricks on Nebraska Street's 2000 block earlier that day. Since his release, he's been blowing up on the rap scene. He is currently prepping the release of his new album, Until Death Call My Name, which is slated to drop on March 2.
