NBA YoungBoy’s trial date has been pushed with no date being set yet

As the fans entered the live stream of NBA Young Boy’s trial in Utah, the judge was compelled to delay the trial, with no new date set yet. With the trial being pushed indefinitely, many social media users started talking about how the fans have landed the rapper into an even bigger mess.

As per XXL magazine, YoungBoy has been accused of several charges that also include running a fraudulent prescription drug ring. The authorities have alleged that the rapper used to possess and procure prescription drugs, and controlled substances. They also alleged that the rapper possessed a dangerous weapon illegally.

Following his arrest in April, the judge issued a no-bail warrant, allegedly deeming him a “flight risk.” This is not the first time that the rapper has landed into a legal mess, as he was on house arrest for the last two years for an alleged firearm case in Louisiana.

However, as the videos of his recent court hearing go viral, the attorneys and representatives of the rapper have not yet released a statement. Nonetheless, social media users continue to pour in their comments, as some are in support of the rapper, while others are bashing the fans for creating a problem in the court hearing.
