Barring a slip-up NBA YoungBoy is now free to walk, after incurring three-years of active probation, a fine and community service, with a 10-year suspended prison term, during his sentencing hearing on Tuesday, August 22. And though he'll have to watch his step, so as to stay out of trouble, he does have the luxury of splurging a bit seeing how he is one of the hottest young rappers coming up in the game.
AI YoungBoy has the gold chains. And he's definitely shown that he's been splurging with copious amounts of cash, as has been evident at shows during which he's taken the stage cradling a tower of Benjamins. But most recently it appears he's been really leveling up. By the looks of videos and photos being circulated around social media, the "38 Baby" rapper has gone out and copped a baby tiger.
According to a 2015 report published by business news site The Nerve Africa, a baby tiger costs around $3,200 on the black market. The Online-Paralegal-Programs website places the cost even lower, citing a range between $900-$2500, however one risks a hefty penalty for owning such wildlife outside of North Carolina, Alabama, Delaware, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, where it would be legal. In addition to the price of a tiger would come the costly tab for maintaining it. A full grown tiger eats upwards of 15 pounds of meat per day, and also requires produce and other nutrient filled foods to provide it a healthy diet.
NBA Youngboy has since taken down the video on his Instagram page, but you can check it out up top.
