NBA YoungBoy was taken into custody on Friday (May 17) following a hearing in East Baton Rouge. According to TMZ, he’ll be behind bars for at least 30 days.
District Judge Bonnie Jackson ruled a social media post involving the fatal Miami shootinglast weekend constituted a probation violation despite the fact he was the target and not the triggerman.
YoungBoy’s attorney, Jimmy Manasseh, told the outlet his client was only arrested because of the post. He insists he was the victim of an “assassination attempt.”
Manasseh also noted the Baton Rouge-bred rapper wasn’t in possession of a gun and didn’t commit any crimes, calling the shooting “a terrible and tragic incident.”
Jackson determined the post violates his probation, which he received from an August 2017 sentence for aggravated assault with a firearm. As part of his release conditions, he was ordered to stay off social media for his three-year probation period.
