Fans of the rapper snuck into the WebEX livestream of the hearing, shouting “Free YB man, free YB,” “Shut yo bitch ass up, man, free YB,” and “Free YB, shut up,” according to a video released by the Law & Crime Network.
In response, Cache County, Utah Judge Spencer Walsh asked viewers to mute their microphones, as they disrupted the virtual hearing.
“Mr. Gaulden’s case has already been called, he’s done with court today for those of you interested,” Walsh said during the hearing. “Everyone keep yourself muted.”

On April 16, the 24-year-old rapper was arrested for allegedly arranging a fraudulent prescription drug ring while he was on house arrest in Huntsville, Utah for federal weapon charges. Gaulden faces 63 felony and misdemeanor charges including identity fraud, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, forgery, and possession of a controlled substance, among other charges.
On April 26, additional charges related to the prescription fraud case were filed against him, including a second-degree felony count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person and two Class A misdemeanor counts of distributing a controlled substance, and he was initially held without bond per Associated Press . In May, the state agreed to a $100,000 bond in exchange for waiving a preliminary hearing, or a hearing where the state would convince the judge a crime was committed by the defendant, per KUTV-TV.
Gaulden’s next hearing is set for Aug. 19.
