Rapper Kentrell Gaulden, better known as NBA YoungBoy, has reportedly purchased a house for one of his security guards near his own residence in Utah. The news has sparked excitement among fans, highlighting the artist’s loyalty to those who keep him safe.
The security guard, whose identity remains private, shared his enthusiasm in a video circulating online.
“I came to check out the new house my boss got me,”
he said, clearly thrilled.
“He got me a house on the golf course, baby. Slay your bodies and swing golf clubs, you know that’s what.”
His reaction is one that combines appreciation and incredulity with the gift being so unexpected in itself highlighting the implications behind the act.
YoungBoy’s return to his Utah estate On Wednesday April 9, 2025, having served out his federal charge stint, has put focus on his lifestyle in the state once more. His residence, a multi-acre estate in Olympus Cove, is one noted for being luxurious and secure. His purchase of a home for his guard fits into his trend towards taking care of those who are nearest to him to his patterns of behavior.
In December 2023, he made news by handing out money to one family outside of a Utah Target, highlighting his impromptu generosity.
The rapper’s Utah mansion has come under fire recently, not only for its size but for the visible presence of heavy security guards. His neighbors have reported seeing armed guards patrolling the grounds, something that is probably related to his continued legal liabilities. Not withstanding that, people who have spoken with him say that he is polite and courteous and thus add some nuance to his public persona. His decision to give housing to one of his team members might be to provide loyalty and stability to those who are guarding him.
This move comes amid NBA YoungBoy’s comeback to music and life outside jail. His fans are abuzz with what is to come, hoping to hear some new songs based on his experiences in the past few months.
