The rapper is facing dozens of new charges after a recent arrest.

NBA Youngboy has had a turbulent year so far. His legal trouble in years past has seen him stuck in house arrest in Utah, though the period has allowed him to release music quite prolifically. Earlier this year he dropped the compilation tape Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain which showed off some of the talents he's signed to his label. That came after he released an astonishing four entire albums across just 12 months in 2023.

That was all disrupted last month when he was arrested and hit with numerous charges. Initial charges included possession of dangerous weapons and illegal substances as well as various accusations of fraud. Those were expanded on a few days later when he was hit with more charges. The second batch were allegedly related to a prescription drug scheme the rapper is accused of participating in. In total there were 63 different charges he was hit with. Given his history of legal trouble and the sheer volume of new charges he's facing things could go south for Youngboy quickly. But none of that has stopped the typical cycles of virality from continuing in his absence.

"i know that n*gga was giving his pre school teacher HELL" one of the top comments in response to the picture reads. "he just looks like he was bad as hell" another commentor agrees. Those are just some of the many comments mocking his appearance in the picture.
