The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office told Page Six the 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, is still in custody as of Tuesday morning. A court date or bond has not been set yet.

According to local news outlets, NBA YoungBoy was allegedly among a group of 16 people who were arrested for firearm possession and faces a number of drug, felony possession, and stolen firearms charges.

A fan-recorded video circulating online claims the rapper was in the middle of shooting his new music video for “Choppa City.”
