Donald Trump has decided to pardon YoungBoy Never Broke Again, letting him walk free after his recent legal troubles.
After spending almost two years behind bars for having guns when he wasn’t supposed to, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, finally got out in March and had to stay at home all the time, stuck on probation for five years. But now, things have changed in a big way. The rapper shared, “I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building—as a man, as a father, and as an artist. This moment means a lot. It opens the door to a future I’ve worked hard for and I am fully prepared to step into this.” He also gave a shoutout to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson, who is known for helping people get second chances, and his lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, for always being there for him, plus everyone else who didn’t give up on him. “I’m grateful. I’m Focused. I’m Ready.” -Kentrell
Now that he’s not stuck at home, YoungBoy is planning a big tour across the United States, starting in September and going into October. According to his tour agent Andrew Lieber, “He’s a fully free man now, with no travel restrictions. The world is at his fingertips.” That means he can finally travel and perform wherever he wants, which is pretty exciting for his fans.
Fans think it’s cool to see people get a second chance.
A few years ago, Trump also let Lil Wayne and Kodak Black out of trouble right before he left the White House. After getting his pardon, Wayne dropped a song called “Ain’t Got Time,” which was his way of celebrating.
Sometimes, news like this feels like something from a movie, but it’s real life—one day you’re stuck at home, and the next you’re planning concerts and thanking the president.
