Tryna Figure What Da Hype Bout🤣 He got that gun in public. ain't scared to drop his location 🔫😈
Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy was arrested on drug and weapons counts and 15 others were taken into custody while creating a music video, police said.
The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, was booked Tuesday into East Baton Rouge Parish prison on several drug and weapon counts.
He was taken into custody after the Baton Rouge Police Street Crimes Division and FBI agents received anonymous complaints of people brandishing guns in an abandoned lot and investigated, according to BRPD spokesperson Sgt. L'Jean McKneely Jr.
Officers went to the 3800 block of Chippewa St. about 4:30 p.m. Monday
and found members of the “Never Broke Again” (NBA) and “Bottom Boy
Gorilla” (BBG) groups — police described them as "gangs" — gathered at
the lot shooting a video, according to Gaulden’s arrest documents.
When officers arrived, some at the scene ran away while others were detained for questioning.
Authorities seized drugs, guns and a large amount of money, McKneely said.
Police arrested 16 people; confiscated 14 guns, including one that was stolen and two with illegal stocks; and seized $79,000.
Gaulden rose to national acclaim as a teenager growing up in Baton Rouge, though his success has been marred with violence and drama.
He served 90 days in jail during the summer of 2019 after state District Judge Bonnie Jackson handed down a temporary probation hold in a 2016 nonfatal shooting case. Prosecutors had moved to revoke his probation entirely, which would have sent him to prison for 10 years, following his involvement in a shootout in Miami Mother's Day 2019 that left a bystander dead.
The judge had given Gaulden a suspended 10-year prison term in August 2017 and put him on probation for three years after he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a firearm in the 2016 shooting. But Jackson decided last December that the rapper had served enough time under court supervision and released him.
Gaulden's attorney, James Manasseh, said in a statement Tuesday that Gaulden's most recent arrest was a violation of his constitutional rights, accusing arresting officers of conducting illegal searches.
Manasseh said police detained more than a dozen "young Black men solely based on an alleged tip that firearms were present on the scene."
As a felon, Gaulden is prohibited from possessing a firearm.
"Even with the illegal searches that were conducted, no firearms or controlled dangerous substances were found on Mr. Gaulden's person or in his immediate control,"
his attorney said.
"It is important to remember that when someone is arrested for a crime, it does not mean they are guilty of anything."

Billy Joe Shaver, the Texas singer-songwriter who was a key player in the Outlaw Country movement, died on Oct. 28, age 81, after suffering a massive stroke the day before. Shaver had recently undergone hip replacement surgery and was recovering in a Waco rehabilitation facility when the stroke occurred.
As a youth, he spent more time working on family farms than in school. As he wrote in his song Fast Train, “I have an eighth-grade education … I got all my country learning picking cotton, raising hell and bailing hay.”
His grandmother gave him a Gene Autry guitar when he was 11. Shaver left home at 16 to serve in the Navy and afterwards took a series of jobs, including one in the professional rodeo. After losing several fingers in a sawmill accident, he decided to do what he really loved to do: write songs.
In 1965, Shaver hitchhiked to Nashville in the back of a cantaloupe truck. Camping himself at the office of country singer Bobby Bare, he convinced the Nashville star to listen to his songs. Impressed, Bare signed him to a $50 a week job as a songwriter. Bare recorded Ride Me Down Easy and other musicians took notice of his tunes too. Kris Kristofferson did Good Christian Soldier and Tom T. Hall covered Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me.
In the early '70s, he became a close companion to Willie Nelson. He was part of a close circle of friends that included Nelson’s Highwaymen bandmates Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson, as well as Texas music greats Jerry Jeff Walker and Johnny Bush, both of whom died earlier this month.
Shaver had a career breakthrough year in 1973. He released his debut album Old Five and Dimers Like Me (Kris Kristofferson produced) and he wrote almost all the songs on Waylon Jennings’ landmark album Honky Tonk Heroes, released that same year.
A song Jennings and Shaver co-wrote, You Asked Me To, was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1975. That was just one of many Shaver songs eventually recorded by hundreds of artists. They include Ride Me Down Easy (Jerry Lee Lewis), Georgia on a Fast Train (Johnny Cash), Black Rose(Willie Nelson) and Live Forever (actor Robert Duvall, on the soundtrack to the film Crazy Heart). Nelson also included Shaver’s song We Are the Cowboys on his latest record First Rose of Spring, released in July.
Shaver went on to release more than 20 albums for such labels as MGM, Capricorn, Columbia, Zoo/Praxis, New West, and Sugar Hill Records. His 2007 album, Everybody’s Brother (Compadre Records), earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Southern/Country/Bluegrass Album and his most recent release, 2014’s Long in the Tooth (Lightning Rod Records), was his first to chart in Billboard’s Top Country Albums.
His biography included moments of tragedy. He married, divorced and remarried Brenda Tindell, who died of cancer in 1999. Their son Eddy Shaver, who played guitar in his father’s band for many years, died of a heroin overdose on Dec. 31, 2000. On July 4, 2001, Shaver suffered a massive, and nearly fatal heart attack while performing on stage.
In 2007, Shaver was arrested for aggravated assault after shooting a man outside a bar in a Waco suburb. He was acquitted in 2010 after testifying that he acted in self-defense, in a trial that also included character-witness testimony from Willie Nelson.
He was honoured with the first Americana Music Award for Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting in 2002 and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006.
A long-time admirer and friend, Robert Duvall cast Shaver in his 1996 movie The Apostle, and Shaver later acted in such films as Secondhand Lions, The Wendell Baker Story, and Bait Shop. Duvall also produced the documentary A Portrait of Billy Joe.
Shaver’s music attracted many illustrious admirers over the years. Johnny Cash, who covered Shaver’s I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be a Diamond Some Day), called him “my favorite songwriter,” while Willie Nelson, a frequently Shaver collaborator, declared that "Billy Joe is definitely the best writer in Texas.” Bob Dylan not only has performed Shaver’s Old Five and Dimers Like Me in concert, but even name-checked him in his tune I Feel a Change Comin’ On.
One Canadian connection for Shaver: Toronto bassist Brad Fordham (formerly of Rang Tango and long based in Austin) regularly played in Shaver's band over the past two decades, with Fordham's wife Lisa Pankratz taking drumming duties. Sources: Rolling Stone, Conqueroo, Austin 360
