NBA YoungBoy is facing a legal battle involving his Utah house arrest. On Monday, Nov. 27, NBA YoungBoy’s attorney, William K. Morris, filed a petition to modify the conditions of his current house arrest and is facing heavy pushback from the prosecution.
The rapper’s legal team argued that his current confinement has taken a toll on his emotional well-being, leading to weight loss, sleep deprivation, and a sense of hopelessness regarding his future career prospects. Prosecutors are opposing this request, sparking a heated debate over the extent of the “Right Foot Creep” rapper’s mental health concerns and his ability to seek proper treatment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Morris expressed:
“The United States fails to see how the defendant’s current conditions of pretrial release prohibit him from seeking and obtaining mental health treatment. Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight and sleep. NBA YoungBoy has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation.”
As the Baton Rouge native’s legal team attempts to have a federal court alleviate the house arrest terms due to depression and mental health issues, prosecutors say they disagree.
The prosecution argues that NBA YoungBoy has access to adequate means of addressing his mental health struggles, refuting the need to relax his confinement. As the legal battle continues, how the court will rule remains uncertain, impacting the rapper’s mental well-being.

As NBA Youngboy continues to await trial on his federal gun charges, his legal team is working double time. They have now asked that the Louisiana rapper to be released on bond.
The last time his team requested bond for the rapper, it was denied. However, things are different this time around. His attorneys are now requesting that Youngboy be relocated to his Utah residence to serve his time on house arrest. In this request, he would have access to his in-home studio and would be monitored by a private security team.
Prosecutors were unsure, noting that he was in a fight in jail and may be harmful to himself or others.
The judge has now granted NBA Youngboy a bond and will allow him to stay on house arrest in his Utah home until his trial.
