Alright, so the other day I was jammin’ to some NBA YoungBoy, and a question popped into my head: “How long has this dude actually been in jail?” I mean, it feels like he’s been in and out of trouble for a while now, right? So, I decided to do some digging.
First, I opened up my browser. Gotta start somewhere, you know?

My Research Process
- I typed in “NBA YoungBoy jail time” into the search bar. Simple enough, I figured.
- I started scrolling through the results. Man, there were a LOT of articles and news reports. It was kinda overwhelming at first.
- I noticed a bunch of different dates and charges. Assault, probation violations, weapons charges… it was a whole mess.
- I focused on finding reliable sources, you know, like actual news sites, not just random gossip blogs.
- Then I started reading the reports one after another.
Honestly, it was a bit of a rabbit hole. I spent a good chunk of time piecing together the information. It’s not like there’s one single, easy answer. He’s had multiple arrests and jail stints.
Finally, I was able to get the answer.
