NBA YoungBoy Allegedly Shares A Message With His Fans From Prison

Roommates, fans of NBA YoungBoy received an unexpected surprise from the rapper on Sunday. NBA YoungBoy allegedly shared a message through one of his fan accounts on social media. In the message, NBA YoungBoy shared his thoughts on his kids, how he is seen and sees himself and Wendy Williams’ comments on him.

The account that shared NBA YoungBoy’s alleged message lives on Instagram via the handle @neverbrokeagainllc. Screenshots from the message show a timestamp with Sunday’s date of April 18 and 6:59 p.m. The account is believed, according to our independent sources, to be affiliated with NBA YoungBoy’s official team. Kentrell Gaulden, as the artist is officially named, is listed as the email’s sender. He begins the message with some words about his children.

“I can leave my kids millions of dollars to divide but I can’t give them the time they truly deserve,” NBA YoungBoy wrote.

The message continues with Kentrell expressing that he believes nobody understands him and “never did.” He further explains that sometimes he also doesn’t understand himself.

Then, in true NBA YoungBoy behavior, he rejects any pity by saying he’s not looking for the reader “to feel sorry” for him.

“I just ask for one thing-For you to let me suffer in peace.” NBA YoungBoy wrote.

The suffering NBA YoungBoy mentions might be in reference to his current imprisonment. As we’ve previously reported, NBA YoungBoy is jailed in Louisiana, after a transfer from California recently. He is being charged with felony possession of a firearm and will remain imprisoned pending trial. His mugshot from the official booking was released early last week.

NBA YoungBoy ended his message with compliments to talk show host Wendy Williams — who has previously spoken publicly on the rapper’s legal troubles.

“Tell MS WENDY WILLIAM I say she got a good soul and she’s a beautiful woman,” NBA YoungBoy wrote. “I can see that threw all the bad comments thrown at her tell her count her blessings,” he continued.

As a final note, he wrote a positive thought saying “STAY IN GOOD SPIRIT” and signed the message with “sincerely Kentrell.”
