DJ Akademiks' post arrived after YoungBoy made a court appearance on May 9. In photos surfacing online, the emcee could be seen smiling as he wore an orange inmate jumpsuit donning a mustache.
On that day, Judge Spencer D. Walsh in a Cache County, Utah, set a $100,000 bond for YB. The rapper was arrested April 16 after a raid of his Utah home, dubbed Grave Digger Mountain, where he was on house arrest while awaiting trial on federal weapons charges.
Officials alleged that he and his crew orchestrated a large-scale prescription drug fraud scheme, using phony prescriptions to obtain drugs like promethazine and codeine. He faces 63 felonies and misdemeanors related to the fraudulent prescription operation, including identity fraud, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, forgery, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity, and possession of a controlled substance.
The arrest stems from an investigation by Cache County, Utah, authorities, who received a tip from a suspicious pharmacist. Investigators believed YoungBoy and others contacted pharmacies using real doctors' names and DEA numbers to call in prescriptions, which were then filled.
