YoungBoy's Legal Path and Personal Reflections
In 2022, YoungBoy was acquitted of the charge of "knowingly" carrying a pistol in connection with an unrelated Los Angeles incident during a separate arrest. After a short foot pursuit, the rapper was pulled over by the LAPD and taken into custody after they found a pistol under the passenger seat of his vehicle.
A district court judge made the decision to forbid the use of YoungBoy's lyrics as evidence during that trial. The rapper declared in a 2023 Billboard cover story that he intended to convert to Mormonism and that he regretted his violent songs.
