Okay, so I saw this thing trending all over my socials – everyone’s freaking out asking, “Is NBA YoungBoy back in jail?!” Seriously, my feeds were blowing up. So, naturally, I had to dig in and see what’s up. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step:
First, I hit up Google. Just a simple search: “NBA YoungBoy arrested” or “NBA YoungBoy jail.” Gotta start with the basics, right? I skimmed through a bunch of news headlines that popped up.

The tricky part: A lot of the initial stuff was old news. Articles about past arrests, previous court dates…you know, the usual drama that follows him. I had to really pay attention to the dates on those articles to make sure I wasn’t getting fooled by old info.
Digging Deeper
- I started looking specifically for recent news. Changed my Google search to filter for results from “the past week” or “past 24 hours”. That helped weed out some of the older stuff.
- Then went to check all the major hip-hop news sites.
- Next, I jumped on Twitter. I searched for his name, plus keywords like “jail,” “arrested,” “court.” Twitter’s usually pretty quick with breaking news, even if it’s not always 100% confirmed.
I found that the result is consistent, and there is currently no news that can prove that he is in jail.
So, that’s my little investigation process. It’s not rocket science, but it’s how I try to get to the bottom of these rumors.
