BATON ROUGE - The recent production of a music video featuring local rapper, NBA YoungBoy caused some concern when the artist was spotted handling objects that appeared to be weapons during the shooting of the video.
But YoungBoy wasn't the only one handling the questionable items during the filming.
The 20-year-old rapper, who has served jail time for attempted murder, assault, and weapons violations, was shooting a video in Baton Rouge alongside his 17-year-old relative, Jeffery Tate. During the filming, Tate was also handling items that appeared to be weapons.
Tate happens to be one of three teens authorities have recently tied to the murder of a 17-year-old who was shot while walking home in December of 2019.
WBRZ asked East Baton Rouge District Attorney, Hillar Moore whether it was admissible for YoungBoy, a convicted felon, and Tate, a suspect in a murder, to use objects that appeared to be weapons in the recent music video.
Moore's response was, "Nothing will be done to Tate because he is not a convicted felon, nor is he under bond obligation."
But, YoungBoy's case may be different.
As a convicted felon, the rapper may face charges for possession of a firearm.
I was watching this video and knew he was bound for trouble bruh

Unless someone snitches on him like they did Keef, can’t imagine how they can prove the guns are real.
Lmao this man YoungBoy cannot be serious
YB needs a OG to take him under his wing

Wouldn't be surprised if he eventually moves to somewhere with legal weed, but he loves the city too much
