Taking a break from the being the focal point of controversial headlines as of late, NBA YoungBoy released a visual for his single "FREEDDAWG." The LOUIEKNOWS-directed video features the young rapper hanging around at home with his friends as they turn up poolside and pose in front of luxury vehicles. In full-on rapper fashion, there's also $100 bills strewn about. No one was shouting "Money ain't a thing," though.

In just 24 hours the video has racked up over two million views on YouTube, which is a good look for the 19-year-old rising rap star. The same day that the video dropped, news broke that NBA YoungBoy was officially charged with two misdemeanors, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and disorderly conduct, in relation to his arrest in Atlanta back in February. His legal troubles could curtail his career if things don't lean in his favor, so fans hope that he'll keep his nose clean and focus on his music for now.
