Future’s teenage son got some good news in his criminal case involving charges of having a gun with its serial numbers scratched off and giving false information to a police officer.
Last week, a judge agreed to the District Attorney’s request to drop Jakobi Wilburn’s charge of “criminal use of an article with an altered ID mark,” but the 17-year-old is still facing prosecution for allegedly giving a false name and birthdate to a cop, as well as a separate case for “unlawful gang activity,” according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP.
The teen has been held in jail without bail since the beginning of the year over the prosection’s fears that he’ll commit another crime if he’s let out, BOSSIP can reveal.
Judge Marjorie Bell ordered the teenager remanded because he “poses a significant risk” of committing a felony and was already on $20,000 bail in a separate gang case, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP. Jakobi’s lawyers have since filed two separate motions for his release, but the judge hasn’t yet ruled on them.

Police first arrested Future’s oldest son in Nov. 2019 for felony criminal damage to property and trespassing for allegedly spray-painting a home with “NORP” in a subdivision.
“NORP” stands for “Normal Ordinary Regular Playa,” and is associated with the “Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips,” according to Jakobi’s arrest warrant, which was obtained by BOSSIP. Cops said they have the boy on video daubing the acronym on the subdivision’s clubhouse and later arrested him at his high school, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP.
Jakobi’s charges were later updated to include “unlawful gang activity,” court records show.

Under the terms of his bail, Jakobi, who at six foot two is the spitting image of his famous father, was barred from having access to firearms and was banned from being in the county where the alleged incident occurred.
He was out on bail in that case when he was arrested again in Jan. 2020, his court papers state. In that incident, police stopped a car he was riding in with three other men inside the county he was not supposed to be in. The driver didn’t have his license and cops said they smelled a “strong odor of raw marijuana” coming from the car, according to court papers.
They ordered the occupants out of the car and searched it, and found a gun under the driver’s seat with the serial numbers ground off, according to court papers. None of the occupants copped to owning the gun, so they were all charged for it, while Jakobi was also charged with giving false information to a police officer after allegedly telling the cops his name was “Tyson Copeland.”
No new court date has been set in the case.
The District Attorney’s Office declined to comment. We’ve also reached out to Jakobi’s lawyer for comment.
