YoungBoy Never Broke Again Fans Virtually Invade Court Hearing & Yell ‘Free YB’: Watch

YoungBoy Never Broke Again — born Kentrell Gaulden — remains behind bars for charges stemming from a prescription drug ring case in Utah.

According to Law & Crime Network — which was founded by Dan Abrams, ABC News’ chief legal affairs correspondent — a handful of fans were able to infiltrate the July 22 Zoom hearing and appear in the WebEx livestream where they dissed the judge handling the Cache County case, and demanded YoungBoy’s freedom.

“Free YB, man, free YB,” a fan said. Another went after Judge Spencer Walsh. “Shut yo b—h a– up, man, free YB,” they spewed.

Judge Walsh played it cool amid the disruptions and asked the viewers to mute their microphones while he attempted to conduct the hearing.

The Baton Rouge rapper’s attorney, John Williams, joined the hearing virtually late due to a doctor’s appointment and got caught up to speed. The next court date for YoungBoy Never Broke Again is set for Aug. 19, where Williams will once again appear via WebEx.

Billboard has reached out to the First District Court in Cache County for comment.

YoungBoy had been on house arrest in Utah for two years awaiting trial in a separate federal gun case, but was arrested at his Huntsville estate back in April for allegedly orchestrating a fraudulent prescription drug ring in Utah.

He’s facing 63 felonies and misdemeanors related to he case, including identity fraud, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, forgery and possession of a controlled substance.

At least 15 pharmacies are said to be involved. Per the Associated Press, three other individuals implicated allegedly traveled to different pharmacies to fill out orders made by fake doctors.

The 24-year-old rhymer was hit with additional charges later into April connected to the same prescription case. He’s facing a second-degree felony count for possession of a dangerous weapon and two more misdemeanor counts of distributing a controlled substance.

On the music side, YoungBoy is yet to release a full-length project in 2024, but he teamed up with T.I. for “LLOGCLAY” in May.
