NEW ORLEANS -- Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy received clemency from President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
The news was shared via NBA YoungBoy's Instagram account.
"I want to thank President Donald Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building - as a man, as a father, and as an artist," YoungBoy wrote in a statement posted to his Instagram story.
NBA YoungBoy, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden, has been living under supervision in Salt Lake City after pleading guilty to having guns.
"I'm grateful. I'm focused. I'm ready," NBA YoungBoy said.
NBA YoungBoy is set to go on tour later this year, with two shows scheduled in New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center on October 19 and 20.
