NBA YoungBoy, a U.S. rapper, has pleaded guilty to drug fraud-related charges.
Appearing in a Logan, Utah courtroom on Monday, he admitted to two third-degree felony counts of identity fraud, two third-degree felony counts of forgery, and six misdemeanor counts of unlawful pharmacy conduct.
Initially, the rapper had been facing 46 state charges.
NBA YoungBoy, who is currently serving a 27-month federal sentence, entered a no-contest plea to 36 additional charges.
As part of a plea agreement, his felony charges were downgraded to Class A misdemeanors. Judge Spencer Walsh suspended a prison sentence and instead issued a $25,000 fine.
“I believe that after completing your federal prison sentence, you have the potential to succeed on federal probation and build a bright future, achieving your full potential in all areas of life.”
NBA YoungBoy is also dealing with an unresolved federal firearms case in Louisiana.
