NBA Youngboy has been released from jail after serving nearly three months for his involvement in a Miami shooting that left his girlfriend injured in May of this year.
The 19-year-old had been behind bars since May 17 after violating his probation by getting involved in a shooting outside of the Trump International Hotel, according to TMZ. However, his attorney, James Manasseh, said that Youngboy was the victim of an assassination attempt. Youngboy was set to perform at Rolling Loud when the gunmen opened fire on the rapper and several of his friends. The rapper and his crew returned gunshots, but in the end, one bystander was left dead and Youngboy’s girlfriend suffered a gunshot wound.
Following the incident, a judge determined that Youngboy had violated his probation, which stems from an August 2017 sentence, even though he was the target of the shooting. He took to social media to threaten retaliation for the shooting, even though he was previously ordered to stay off of social media.
Online jail records show that NBA Youngboy was released from East Baton Rouge Parish Prison early Thursday morning, and was greeted by his family. His mother even captured the reunion for social media. Other cameras were also there to witness the No Smoke rapper become a free man again.
Only time will tell what NBA Youngboy will be up to next, and when some new music will arrive. Until then, welcome back, NBA Youngboy!
