Hip-Hop fans were elated when Donald Trump chose to pardon YoungBoy Never Broke Again‘s probation sentence for gun charges. However, Utah lawmakers didn’t share that excitement and may look to fight against the decision.
“We are extremely proud of the work our investigator and prosecutors did on this case, as well as grateful for all the help we received from other local and federal agencies,” Cache County attorney Taylor Sorensen and Sheriff D. Chad Jensen wrote in a joint statement to KUTV.
“Mr. Gaulden [YB] pled guilty to the charges in this investigation, and we feel strongly the Justice System in Cache County is far from a ‘weaponized system of justice.’ We have highly trained, honest, experienced and professional sheriff’s investigators and county prosecutors, along with respected District Court Judges and Defense Attorneys.” Trevor Lee, a member of the Utah House District 16, supported his perspective on X. “As a state we should still go after him,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

It is unclear whether Utah lawmakers will be successful, but it is clear where they stand on YoungBoy Never Broke Again. The Baton Rouge, La. rapper had been living in the state for a few years now while serving his house arrest sentence. Last year, he pleaded guilty to felonious gun possession charges and was sentenced to 23 months in prison, five years of probation, and had to pay $200,000 for a separate gun charge.
This past March, he was released from prison and credited for time served, allowing him to return to home confinement, which he completed in April. Donald Trump’s pardon eliminated his probation sentence and he expressed his gratitude via social media. “I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist,” he wrote on Instagram.
