NBA Youngboy found NOT GUILTY on Federal Weapons Charges in Los Angeles. 

YoungBoy Never Broke Again has reportedly been found not guilty in his federal gun case.

On Friday (July 15), following two days of trial, NBA YoungBoy's fate was announced in California Central District court. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, according to Rolling Stone Senior Reporter Nancy Dillon. The Louisiana rapper was facing multiple years in prison if found guilty of the gun offense.

The case has been hanging over the rapper's head for more than a year. It stems from YoungBoy Never Broke Again being arrested on March 22, 2021. Federal agents along with the Los Angeles Police Department attempted to execute an outstanding federal warrant on the rapper from a 2020 Louisiana arrest. 

While trying to pull the rapper over in a vehicle, police say YoungBoy eluded them before exiting the vehicle and leading them on a foot chase. K-9 dogs had to be brought out in order to locate the rapper. 

Police also discovered an FN, model FNX-45, .45 ACP caliber gun in the floorboard of YB's Maybach SUV.

After some haggling, the rapper was finally released from jail on house arrest via a $1.5 million bond last October. He lived in Layton, Utah as stipulated by his bond in the months leading up to his case being brought to court.

A point of contention leading up to the trial involved the use of song lyrics. The prosecution wanted to use lines from NBA YoungBoy's song "Gunsmoke" as evidence. On the track, YB raps about the model of firearm found in his vehicle. Ultimately, judge R. Gary Klausen vetoed the attempt.
