A federal judge in Utah has sentenced rap artist NBA Youngboy to just under two years in prison for gun-related charges. The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, admitted to possessing weapons despite being a convicted felon. Gaulden, 25, reached an agreement that resolved Utah state charges against him and settled two sets of federal charges. One set carries a 23-month sentence, while the other includes five years of probation and a $200,000 fine.

According to court documents, Gaulden acknowledged possessing firearms during the filming of a rap video in Baton Rouge and at his home in Huntsville, Utah. He agreed to surrender the guns as part of the plea deal. Gaulden had a prior conviction in Louisiana for aggravated assault with a firearm.
