AceShowbiz - 42 Dugg couldn't escape his prison sentence anymore. The 26-year-old Motor City rapper has been arrested in his hometown of Detroit after failing to surrender and serve an outstanding six-month prison sentence.

According to The Detroit News, the hip-hop artist, best known for his collaborations with Lil Baby including "Grace" and "We Paid", was taken into custody by federal agents on Thursday, May 5. Agents were able to intercept him as his private jet landed in Detroit following a flight from Memphis, Tennessee.

42 Dugg, whose real name is Dion Marquise Hayes, was supposed to report to a West Virginia federal prison camp on April 12, but he failed to surrender in time. He now faces up to five years in prison for failing to report for the six-month sentence.

42 Dugg has faced a string of legal issues since 2017. He was originally convicted for carjacking and felony firearms possession, for which he received probation. In November 2019, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives got an anonymous tip that the rap star had violated the terms of probation by firing a gun in a shooting range in Atlanta.

42 Dugg was subsequently arrested in March 2020 and sentenced to three years probation with a $90,000 fine for illegal possession of a firearm. He was apprehended again in August 2020 for evading police just two months prior.

In May 2021, 42 Dugg and his legal team entered plea negotiations for the gun charge, which carried a maximum sentence of 10 years. He seemed to score a huge win last November as he was able to avoid jail time and got away with probation with the plea deal. However, a judge revoked his probation soon after and gave him a six-month jail sentence followed by two years of supervised release.
