New details in the case, reported by KUTV on Wednesday (April 17), say YB has been charged with a total of 63 counts for his alleged involvement in a large-scale prescription fraud operation.

In total, the rapper reportedly faces 20 counts of identity fraud, 20 counts of obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, 20 counts of forgery, and one count each of possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity and possession of a controlled substance.
