NBA YoungBoy Fans Hack Into Virtual Court Hearing: 'Free YB!'

Fans of NBA YoungBoy made their voices heard after they hacked into a virtual court hearing for the jailed rapper's ongoing fraud case .

The Louisiana native appeared in Spencer D. Walsh's courtroom in Utah on Monday, July 22. The proceedings were broadcast through a seemingly private WebEx video stream, which showed the rapper at the corner of the screen. Since YB's attorney was late to the hearing, Judge Walsh decided to move the arraignment to August 19. A few minutes later, a few voices randomly interrupted the stream and advocated for the popular rapper's freedom.

"Free YB mayne!" one of the hackers shouted.

“Mr. Gaulden’s case has already been called,” Judge Walsh replied. “He’s done with court today for those of you interested. Everyone keep yourselves muted.”

YoungBoy Never Broke Again, born Kentrell Gaulden, was previously hit with 63 counts of identity fraud, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, forgery, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, unlawful activity, and possession of a controlled substance. He was arrested back in April following a months-long investigation into an alleged scheme by Gaulden and his two associates to obtain promethazine with codeine. YB is accused of posing as a real doctor and calling in prescriptions for the cough syrup to pharmacies across the state of Utah. His associates would then go to the pharmacies to pick up the drug.

Shortly after he was arrested, YB was charged with other offenses including possession of a firearm by a restricted person and two counts of obtaining a prescription without permission. The rapper was able to post bond , however, he was reportedly booked at another jail in Utah where he had no option to bail out.
