NBA YoungBoy, the rap artist known as Kentrell Gaulden, has publicly thanked former President Donald Trump for granting him a pardon in 2023 after once rapping about hating the president in a 2017 song. The Louisiana-based rapper, whose real name is Kent, had previously expressed disdain for Trump, but he has since acknowledged the former president’s role in his recent reprieve. The pardon, which was granted for federal charges including firearm possession and prescription drug fraud, has allowed Gaulden to move forward with his life as a man, father, and artist, according to his Instagram post.
