Friday was another legal triumph for NBA YoungBoy (July 15). A grand jury cleared YB of the federal firearms allegations he was up against in Los Angeles, according to The Advocate.

Police reportedly recovered a FN.45 handgun and 12 rounds of ammo after examining YB’s automobile. After tying these items to YB, they then detained him.
Following the decision, an exuberant NBA YoungBoy photographed with his successful legal team in front of the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building while beaming from ear to ear.

Fans joined in the fun as they sang along to some YB hits like “I HATE YOUNGBOY” and shouted obscenities outside the doors of the United States Courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles after learning their idol would be getting off easy.
