Rapper who was pardoned had this to say about president in 2017

by May 29, 2025
written by May 29, 2025

The Louisiana rapper who was pardoned by President Donald Trump once said ‘F— Donald Trump’ in a 2017 song. 

NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, has been thanking Trump for the reprieve, writing in a recent Instagram post that the president is ‘giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist.’ 

However, in his song ‘Red Rum,’ the 25-year-old Gaulden once rapped ‘And f— Donald Trump b—-, that NBA s—.’ 

Pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson was asked about the remark during an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ earlier this morning. 

‘So a couple of rappers have come out or let’s say one in particular — YoungBoy. One of his lyrics in 2017 that he put out is ‘F Donald Trump’ and some more disparaging things to say. He had a violent past of assault and battery. Multiple cases of that, and firearm, drug and fraud charges. What sold you on him getting a second chance?’ co-host Brian Kilmeade asked her. 

‘I looked at the age and how this young man grew up. He grew up in a very impoverished neighborhood. And the things that he had to face, NBA YoungBoy growing up. Most of those were gun charges without the guns being discharged,’ she said. 

‘But I also looked at what happened to him on a set where he was filming a video and he had a prop in the set. That’s really where this came from. He didn’t come out of prison. He was given a pardon so he could have a new beginning. And the officers who in this particular case they came at him as though he was a terrorist and he was on a set, filming for a video. They gave him a gun charge for that… the officers who did this were all investigated and fired. So I look at the elements of what happened to this young man,’ Johnson added. 

Last year, Gaulden was sentenced by a federal judge in Utah after he acknowledged possessing weapons despite being a convicted felon. However, he reached an agreement that resolved Utah state charges against him and settled two sets of federal charges against him — one carried a 23-month sentence and the other ordered five years of probation and a $200,000 fine.  

‘I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and for giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist,’ Gaulden, whose stage moniker stands for ‘Never Broke Again,’ wrote on his Instagram. ‘This moment means a lot.’  

‘It opens the door to a future I’ve worked hard for and I am fully prepared to step into this,’ Gaulden added.  

Gaulden was released from federal prison in March and sent to home confinement after receiving credit for time served, his attorney Drew Findling told the Associated Press. With home confinement finished last month, the pardon means he won’t have to follow the terms of his probation, including drug testing, he said. 

The rapper has acknowledged that he possessed a Glock 21 .45-caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms MPA30T 9mm handgun while filming a rap video in Baton Rouge. He has also said he had a Sig Sauer 9mm semi-automatic pistol at his home in Huntsville, Utah. He had agreed to give up the guns.  

Gaulden had previously been convicted in Louisiana of aggravated assault with a firearm. He had also pleaded guilty in November to his role in a prescription drug fraud ring that operated out of his home in Utah. He had to pay a $25,000 fine and was given no prison time. 

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
