What religion is NBA Youngboy?
NBA Youngboy is hoping to become a practicing Mormon.
The rapper told Billboard that while on house arrest in Utah, he found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He said in the interview that after first rejecting the Mormon missionaries, he realized he could use a friend and decided to let them in.
He also told the outlet: “It was just cool to see someone with a different mindset that had nothing to do with business or money — just these wonderful souls.”
He says he plans to be baptized into the church upon his release from house arrest.

As part of the deal with his judge in Louisiana, he had to hire former military guards to protect his home and to keep certain people from entering the property.
He reportedly purchased the home because it was near a tutor he had in elementary school who always kept him in line.
Also, the northern Utah home has a studio built into it, which means that the rapper could once again do what he loves most: create music.
