Busta Rhymes Pleads Guilty, Sentenced to Probation
Busta Rhymes cut a deal with prosecutors in New York earlier today (January 23) that will keep him out of prison on two assault charges. According to the Associated Press, the rapper agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor assault charges and was sentenced to 10 days community service and three years probation. If he violates the probation, he will face up to one year behind bars. The charges stem from two separate incidents in which a former employee and a New York man said the rapper assaulted them. Busta was also facing a DUI charge for an arrest on May 3, 2007. According to TMZ.com, he was ordered to pay a $750 fine and enroll in a drunk driving program. In relation to another separate count of driving with a suspended license, Busta will lose his driver’s license for a period of six months. In July, Busta rejected a plea deal offered by the district attorney that would have landed him in prison for one year.

You’re a fuckin’ idiot, E Real!!! There is nothing fly nor outstanding about doing time. The penal system is a form of modern day slavery designed for niggas like you to make computers chips and our fucking license plates! It is not a “rites of passage” to manhood that some of you niggas have been led to believe. Busta has a family that loves and depends on him; and he’s far more of a man having done what he had to do to stay out of the system and take care of his family, rather than waste time in there with dumb fucks like you!

I like Busta but why does he have to be following the same trend as these young rappers ? assaulting people,getting caught with an unregistered weapon or drugs in the car.Busta is dope but he’s too old for that shit.That don’t make him thoro or real.He was never like that and once he got on aftermath he got arrested like 5 times.He needs to get back to dressin all weird like before and focus on his music.Remember What Common said on the Why ? remix why you wait til your 30 to try to be hard? That could apply to a nigga like Busta,Busta.Grow up nigga.
