Who is the rapper NBA YoungBoy?
- This rapper’s real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden. The NBA in his name doesn’t stand for the National Basketball Association we all know and love. It stands for ‘Never Broke Again’, alluding to his extravagant lifestyle now that he’s made a name for himself.
Other names he goes by in public are YoungBoy and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.Â
- Although his career began in 2015, NBA YoungBoy started taking off in 2018. This was after Atlantic Records signed him and he released his single called “Outside Today”. From there, NBA YoungBoy started going nowhere but up.
- He also set up his own record label called ‘Never Broke Again’ and as of writing, there are sixteen artists signed including YoungBoy. Other notable artists belonging to this record label are Quando Rondo and OG 3Three Never Broken Again.

- Aside from his rapping career helping boost his popularity, NBA YoungBoy has also been in prison countless times now. Some of his legal issues include gun use and assault.
- Despite being sent to prison over and over again, NBA YoungBoy still made time for his music career. He’s also released tracks and other projects while he was locked away for one of the many crimes he’s been charged with.
