NBA YoungBoy, the Baton Rouge native, has been confined to house arrest for two years now. He recently claimed that being confined to his home has led to depression, anxiety, loss of weight, and sleep ¹².
However, prosecutors have challenged his claim. According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, William K. Morris, the attorney working on behalf of the United States of America, has questioned why NBA YoungBoy can't get mental health treatment simply because he's on house arrest ¹. Morris' motion makes it clear that it's not the government's job to provide mental health services on demand and that even if said services were provided, NBA YoungBoy has no restrictions in getting them from the comfort of his own home ¹. Morris also questions whether NBA YoungBoy is seeking the help of a mental health professional outside of the State of Utah or outside of the United States, or whether there are not modern-world, widely available virtual options for him to seek help from a mental health professional of his choosing ¹.
In conclusion, NBA YoungBoy's claim about being depressed after being confined to house arrest has been challenged by prosecutors ¹. It remains to be seen how this case will unfold.
