Back in August, Youngsta wildly posted a clip to social media shooting a few bullets out the window of his car while turning up in the backseat to a possible Young Dolph diss. The move could have attracted the attention of law enforcement.
B.Y. is no stranger to having run-ins with the law. His most recent legal trouble came in September of 2019 when he was arrested for felony possession of armor-piercing ammunition alongside his security guard following a routine traffic stop for blowing through a red light.
The “Booty” artist linked up with fellow Memphis native Moneybagg Yo for their Code Red joint project in September, which featured assists from 42 Dugg, City Girls, DaBaby, Yo Gotti and more. The collab effort debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with 40,000 album-equivalent units.
