Sherhonda Gaulden Sets the Record Straight on Finances and Working Life

Back in December, NBA YoungBoy’s mother, Sherhonda Gaulden, opened up about her finances during a chat with fans on Instagram Live. At the time, she claimed that she wasn’t “rich” like her son despite being related to him. Gaulden also said that she’s not a money-driven person and misses working a normal nine-to-five job.

“‘You rich.’ Baby, I ain’t rich,” she explained. “My child rich. My child do. But you know what? I swear to God and hope to die: I’m not no money person. I don’t care about money. As long as my bills paid, that’s all I want. I don’t ask for no jewelry, I don’t ask for no cars, I don’t ask for money for trips, I don’t care about none of that […] I want a job, I swear to God I wish I could work, I miss work so bad. On my mama, I wish I could work.” Gaulden continued, pointing out how it’d be a safety issue for her to work a public-facing job due to YB’s celebrity status.

Unfortunately, some misinterpreted Gaulden’s remarks and thought she was criticizing her son’s financial support. During a recent interview in Houston, however, she set the record straight. “My son is rich, so therefore he takes care of me,” she clarified. “That’s what I was saying.” She added that she loved her old job at Circle K and even knew her customers by name.

Wanting to go back to work isn’t all Gaulden discussed during the interview, as she also provided fans with a brief update on NBA YoungBoy’s prison stay. They hadn’t spoken since he was moved to a new facility, but she seemed hopeful nonetheless. “They just moved him from where he was to another prison, so we haven’t talked, but he will be out,” she confirmed.

NBA YoungBoy has now received his punishment: 27 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm due to an incident in Baton Rouge a few years prior, The Tribune reported. However, after accounting for time served, he is expected to spend the remainder of approximately one year in prison, followed by an additional five years under supervised probation.


These charges arose around 2020. YoungBoy, who is Kentrell Gaulden, was caught in Baton Rouge where he was filming a music video, and discovered with a Glock .45 caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms 9mm. He agreed to plead guilty to gun possession, and the case was subsequently transferred from Louisiana to Utah, where the rapper later faced unrelated charges for drug possession and identity fraud.


Last month, YoungBoy in fact went on to get a reduced sentence in Utah after pleading guilty to multiple fraud-related charges. Per the plea deal, four felony charges will be reduced to Class A misdemeanors with a $25,000 fine but no additional prison time.


The sentence was met with a hope for the rapper’s future by Judge Walsh who said, “I have seen children so many times where young men and women… utterly robbed of that potential when it’s because they’re struggling with their addictions. I don’t want that for you.”

According to state prosecutor Ronnie Keller, resolving the matter is but “one smaller cog in the bigger wheel of ultimately seeking justice,” as it concerns the multi-jurisdictional complexities of the case.

Winding down his legal affairs, NBA YoungBoy is poised to spend a pivotal year behind bars as he wraps up the sentence with respect to Federal law and enters into supervised probation, paving the way for a promising restart to his career and personal life.

NBA Youngboy has pled guilty to state charges about his prescription drug scam.

According to ABC 4, YB appeared in court in Utah on November 18 and accepted his guilt in two counts of third-degree identity fraud, two counts of third-degree forgery, and six counts of unlawful pharmacy practices misdemeanor. He also pleaded “no contest“ to all the other counts.

Under the agreement, the prosecution downgraded four felony charges to Class A Misdemeanors subject to a $25,000 fine with no custodial sentences.

During the sentencing hearing, the judge indicated that he would want to give the rapper a chance to rehabilitate since he was already waiting to be sentenced for federal offenses that would likely attract a 27-month prison term and five years of federal probation.

More details on Youngboy’s arrest emerge

NBA Youngboy was arrested in Utah last week on dozens of drug and weapons charges. According to an affidavit released following the arrest, investigations show that the Louisiana rapper allegedly pretended to be a medical professional to call in prescription drugs that were later collected by his associates.

The document states that “a suspect calls in a prescription, claiming the identity of a real doctor and using a fraudulent patient name and birthday, all for Promethazine with Codeine. Sometime after the prescriptions are called in, they are filled and picked up by [YoungBoy and/or people referred to as ‘Known Associates’ 1 and 2].”
