Fact Check: Did NBA YoungBoy Really Get Arrested for Going 109 MPH in Utah?

Everybody Sharing It, Nobody Confirming It

THE HIP HOP INTERNET IS PASSING THIS VIDEO AROUND LIKE IT’S GOSPEL. Accounts like No Jumper, Akademiks, and Rap House TV all reposted the bodycam clip, claiming it shows NBA YoungBoy getting pulled over in Utah for allegedly hitting over 109 mph. According to the video, the cops had no clue who he was until someone allegedly cracked a joke about him being a “famous rapper.” That’s the whole story people are running with. NOBODY HAS POSTED AN ARREST RECORD, A POLICE REPORT, OR A SINGLE NEWS LINK BACKING THIS UP. Just a video and a caption. Feels similar to the mess around that Young Thug and Lil Baby rumor that also spread way faster than anyone could confirm it.

Footage surfaces of NBA YoungBoy being arrested in 2025 for driving over 109 mph, with the officers not knowing who he was:

OK BUT THIS PART CHECKS OUT

Here’s what’s actually real: NBA YOUNGBOY HAS BEEN THROUGH IT IN UTAH BEFORE. Back in 2024 he caught drug, fraud, and weapons charges out there, and it wasn’t quiet either. So the idea of him catching another case in that state isn’t some wild stretch, his track record in Utah is genuinely messy.

It’s also true that A BUNCH OF X ACCOUNTS POSTED THIS BODYCAM VIDEO ON JULY 30, 2026 and it spread fast. Accounts like @mymixtapez, @nojumper, @AkademiksTV, and @raphousetv2 all pushed it within hours of each other, racking up serious views. So the viral moment itself is 100% confirmed. Whether the story attached to it is true? Different question entirely, and we’re getting to that.

So Did This Actually Happen? Here's the Problem

WE COULDN’T FIND A SINGLE REAL SOURCE FOR THIS. No news station, no court record, nothing shows NBA YoungBoy got arrested in 2025 for going 109 mph in Utah. Zero. We checked local Utah outlets that actually covered his real 2024 arrests and none of them mention this speeding thing at all.

Here’s what did happen. There was a real traffic stop on New Year’s Eve 2025, drugs were found in the car, but YOUNGBOY WASN’T THE ONE ARRESTED and there’s no bodycam quote about him being a “famous rapper.” That line and the 109 mph number only exist inside the viral clip itself, with no cops, no articles, no paperwork backing it up anywhere.

So Did This Actually Happen? Nobody Can Say Yes

STILL UNVERIFIED. NO PROOF, NO NEWS, NO RECEIPTS. X user @mymixtapez and a bunch of other hip hop pages dropped this bodycam clip claiming NBA YoungBoy got caught doing 109 mph in Utah in 2025, with a cop allegedly saying “guess he’s a famous rapper.” Problem is ZERO real news outlets have this story. Not one local Utah station, nothing official. YoungBoy really did catch charges in Utah back in 2024, and got pulled over again in December 2025 without getting arrested, so the timeline is messy and this video could easily be old footage getting recycled with a fake caption. Until an actual police record or news report shows up, treat this like a rumor with a camera, not a fact. UNCONFIRMED STAYS UNCONFIRMED.
