'NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, spent some time in a St. Martin Parish jail after his run-in with the Los Angeles Police Department. Reports say that the run-in was more of a runaway, as YoungBoy fled LAPD while they were attempting to execute a warrant for his arrest. The Baton Rouge born rapper has remained behind bars since then.

With a feverish fan-base, the signatures have been piling up as a plea to President Biden to free YoungBoy has gotten more traction over the past couple of days. The petition details the rapper's legal troubles and says, "The 21-year-old 79 RIAA certifications holder isn't a menace to society but is instead a kind-hearted soul who was mistreated and targeted by the F.B.I. and Louisiana Police Department".

The change.org petition shows that the online-document directed to President Biden has amassed over 140,000 signatures at the time this article was written.
