NBA Youngboy is FINALLY released from jail after sitting behind bars for months without bond.
Drew Findling and Andrew Belanger, the rapper's attorneys, stated on Tuesday that he is now free and has been given a "conditional bail."
After consenting to be electronically monitored at all times, Youngboy reportedly made a deal with the court to be released. He'll be unable to leave his new Utah house without the assistance of a private security crew he's hired.
Fans cannot be happier. Many took to Twitter within minutes of finding out the news to rejoice.

Last week, the rapper presented a proposal to be released on bail and placed under home arrest instead. It was in his petition that he claimed friends and family would keep him focused as he awaited his trial. Apart from vowing to hire his guardianship, his childhood buddy Kyrie Oliver also testified that she would take good care of her former classmate.
According to the executive from his record company, they'd even construct Youngboy a home recording studio so he wouldn't be such a flight risk.
However, a prosecutor learned that Kyrie had been getting "substantial quantities of money" from Youngboy, and he was charged with money laundering. Between January and February of 2021, the rapper allegedly gave Oliver $600K for "celebrity assistant" services. The moment the finding was made, the authorities began to doubt Kyrie's motives in her statement.
"It also demonstrates that every person Defendant called to testify has a financial stake in him being released," the prosecutors stated. "Bedrock Security stands to earn $21,000/week; Atlantic Records has more than $2 million investment and intends to build him a studio; and Oliver. Those substantial financial ties make it less likely that they would report Defendant's violations or deter him from engaging in conduct."
They also accused the rapper to be using his wealth as a way to get out of jail, "when he has demonstrated repeatedly both out of jail and in that his violent streak hurts communities in which he resides."
Deputies from the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office claimed to have confiscated 14 firearms and approximately $80,000 in cash after his arrest in September 2020. The rapper was indicted on drug possession charges, as well as charges of making and trafficking schedule I, II, and IV substances.
Despite this, he was eventually freed after paying a $2,500 bail. In March, the FBI arrested him for the 2020 incident after additional investigation. According to police, the rapper was in possession of two firearms, one of which was a.45 pistol and the other was a 9mm handgun. With regard to the second arrest, a felony guns charge was levied on Youngboy as well as a weapon unregistered offense.
