NBA YoungBoy Pleads Guilty in Utah Prescription Drug Fraud Case
American rapper NBA YoungBoy, 25, has pleaded guilty to charges related to a prescription drug fraud scheme based in Utah.
Despite facing 46 state charges initially, most were dropped in a plea deal that saw him admit guilt to two counts of third-degree felony identity fraud, two counts of felony forgery, and six counts of misdemeanor unlawful pharmacy conduct.
Appearing before Utah 1st District Judge Spencer Walsh, NBA YoungBoy avoided additional jail time but was fined $25,000.
The rapper, already serving 27 months on federal charges, will also serve five years of probation after his release.
Authorities uncovered the scheme when individuals were arrested using his car to collect fraudulent prescriptions. Evidence linked NBA YoungBoy to mismatched prescription details and fraudulent bottles, leading to his indictment. Judge Walsh commended his talent and wished him luck moving forward.

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
