Chart-topping rapper NBA Young Boy was found not guilty at his felony gun trial in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday.
The popular and prolific artist, born Kentrell Gaulden, jumped up in celebration when he heard the verdict, then quickly sat down again so the judge could excuse the jury of seven women and five men who returned the unanimous verdict.
“I’m feeling great,” Gaulden told Rolling Stone after hugging his lawyers James Manasseh, André Bélanger, Tanner Woods, Robby Gill, and Andrew Flier seconds after the judge left the bench.
