Okay, so, I wanted to figure out this whole thing about how many times NBA YoungBoy got shot. It’s been a while, and I couldn’t find the specific answer, so I started digging around to see what’s up with that.
First, I tried to get a handle on his real name, which is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, sounds a bit formal for a rapper, right? I saw some stuff about him facing a prison sentence for some gun case. That got me thinking, maybe his getting shot had something to do with all this legal trouble.

I then moved on to check out any news about him getting fined. Found an article saying he was fined $25K for something. I guess that’s chump change for someone like him. But then I saw that this fine was related to him pleading guilty to having a gun when he shouldn’t have had one. This was back in August, and apparently, he was busted at a music video shoot with a bunch of other people.
Looking Deeper into the Legal Stuff
So, I dug deeper into this legal mess. There were reports about his lawyers trying to get the charges dropped. Seems like this all goes back to a music video shoot in 2020 where he was caught with some illegal firearms in Baton Rouge. Sounds messy.
- Charges: He’s charged with possession of firearms by a convicted felon. Serious stuff.
- Potential Sentence: If convicted, he could face up to 10 years. That’s a long time.
I tried to find out what kind of guns they found on him. Turns out it was a 9 mm handgun and a .45-caliber Glock. Plus, they found over a dozen other weapons. That’s a lot of firepower.
Other Stuff I Found
While I was at it, I stumbled upon some info about his personal life. He had a son, Kayden Gaulden, back in 2016 when he was just 16. Man, that’s young. Also, despite all this drama, I read that he had his third No. 1 album, “Top,” with like 126,000 sales. Crazy how he can still be successful with all this going on.
So, yeah, that’s what I found about NBA YoungBoy. Still don’t know for sure how many times he got shot, but it’s clear the guy’s been through a lot, between the legal battles and his music career. All I can say is, life in the spotlight ain’t always easy.
