Man blames NBA YoungBoy song for double murder charge
A man has claimed that NBA YoungBoy lyrics resulted in him being charged with double murder.
Derrick Groves, one of 10 men who escaped from prison in New Orleans last year, alleges his arrest came from the Baton Rouge rapper’s music.
In new audio that has surfaced from behind bars, Groves claims he and another man were arrested after rapping lyrics from YoungBoy and Moneybagg Yo’s Fed Baby’s mixtape.
“I made an Instagram video, me and my co-defendant, my co-defendant named Kendall Barnes,” he said. “On that same night, we made a video, we rapping this song. The song is called ‘Contempt of Court’, featuring MoneyBagg Yo and NBA YoungBoy.”
In the song, YoungBoy raps, “They spoke on my name, two n*ggas I had to kill.” He added, “We post that video and his family members sent that video to the feds. They told the feds, ‘Look at these dudes bragging on what just happened.'”
Groves was on the run for five months after breaking out of jail in May 2025. In December, he was sentenced to two life sentences over a 2018 double murder.
He was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder for killing Jamar Robinson and Byron Jackson. In addition, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in two fatal shootings in a different case.
Another man who escaped last year, Antoine Massey, also brought up YoungBoy when he was on the loose, begging the rapper and other hip-hop figures for help.
“I’m asking for help from the world, from Meek Mill, Lil Wayne and YoungBoy, Donald Trump,” he said. “I couldn’t even get a lawyer. I couldn’t even afford a lawyer to prove my innocence. I didn’t break out, I was let out.”
