The "Top" rapper seems to be going back home after a house arrest stay in Utah.

While it's a bit murky and unclear, it seems like NBA YoungBoy just claimed he's going back home to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Moreover, he was staying in Utah under house arrest before his gun felony trial, but he didn't detail whether he was done with that commitment. Nevertheless, a video surfaced on social media of the rapper (masked behind a furry balaclava) saying: "On my way to BR. We having a second dump day." However, a lot of people are raising their eyebrows and this clip, calling him a stunt double and wondering what the legal update is on his Utah stay.

Still, no matter where YB finds himself, fans should expect some great stuff from him soon. In fact, he recently spoke about his upcoming album Don't Try This At Home. "I’mma be talking crazy on there,” the chart-topping star remarked to Rap Radar. “I’mma show you Murda Man… but I’m lettin’ you know, though: Don’t try this at home." Of course, that refers to the MC's changing perspective on violence and more negative behaviors espoused in his music.

YoungBoy Seemingly Coming Back To Baton Rouge

"I think about how many lives I actually am responsible for when it comes to my music,” he told Billboard. “How many girls I got feeling like if you don’t go about a situation that your boyfriend’s bringing on you in his way, you’re wrong? How many people have put this s**t in their ears and actually went and hurt someone? Or how many kids felt like they needed to tote a gun and walked out the house and toted it the wrong way? Now he’s fixing to sit there and do years of his life that he can’t get back."

Also, it's not like the "Put It On Me" star didn't find new things to appreciate in Utah. In fact, he wants to get a Mormon baptism after spending meaningful time with missionaries. "I wanted help very badly," he explained. "I needed a friend. And it hit me. It was just cool to see someone with a different mindset that had nothing to do with business or money. Just these wonderful souls... make sure my heart is in the right space.” Let us know what you think of his apparent return to Louisiana in the comments below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
