Rapper NBA Youngboy has been living a healthy lifestyle, since being released from prison on bail, Media Take Out has learned. And it has the rapper looking better than ever.
As a condition of his bail, the gangster rapper can not take any drugs or drink any alcohol. And that detox from harmful substances is doing wonders for him.
Media Take Out also confirmed that NBA Youngboy has been working out and lifting weights daily. And the results of his transformation are pretty noticeable.
Here’s what Youngboy looks like now:
And this is what he looked like when he was taking drugs, and not taking care of his body.
NBA YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, walked out of a St. Martin Parish jail earlier this year after a judge granted him permission to serve house arrest in Utah, according to jail records.
Last week, Gaulden’s legal team proposed a plan to move the chart-topping rapper permanently to Utah to live with an adoptive family. A judge granted their request in an Oct. 22 hearing, but Gaulden remained in custody over the weekend on a California hold related to a firearm found in the back of a car when he was arrested in March. He was released on a $1.5 million bail.
NBA Younboy is one of the most popular rappers in the world. Between 2015 and 2017, he released six independent mixtapes and steadily garnered a cult following through his work. In late 2017, Gaulden was signed to Atlantic Records. In January 2018, he released the single “Outside Today”, which peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song became the lead single for his debut studio album Until Death Call My Name (2018) which peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard 200.
In October 2019, Gaulden released the single “Bandit” (with Juice WRLD), which became his first top-ten single. A week later, he released AI YoungBoy 2 (2019), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
In April 2020, he released 38 Baby 2, becoming his second chart-topping project on the Billboard 200. Later that year, Gaulden released his second studio album Top (2020), which followed suit as his third chart-topping project in less than a year.
In September 2021, Sincerely, Kentrell (2021) was released from prison, topping the charts again, making him the third artist besides 2Pac and Lil Wayne to have a chart-topping album while incarcerated.
