AceShowbiz - Things are not looking too good for G Herbo (Lil Herb). It's been reported that the "My City" rapper is facing up to 20 years in jail after entering a guilty plea in his fraud case.
According to Chicago Tribune, the plea agreement was filed by prosecutors in U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, July 19. It was the same day the emcee was ordered to make a court appearance there due to his recent gun possession arrest.
Herbo, whose real name is Herbert Randall Wright III, and five other men were charged for allegedly stealing credit card information to fund luxury vacations and a villa in Jamaica. They were also said to be using the stolen credit card for private jets, lease foreign cars and designer bags.
The "PTSD" singer allegedly contacted his music promoter Antonio Strong to hire a private villa in Jamaica in July 2017 and provided a stolen card to pay for incidentals. He also reportedly used a stolen card to buy two "designer puppies" from a luxury pet store.
Other defendants, meanwhile, are alleged to have used stolen cards to charter private planes, yachts and cars. They were also said to use the cards to hire stunning rental accommodations.
Herbo himself had another run-in with the law earlier this month. TMZ Hip Hop reported that the rhymer was busted for illegal gun possession around 5:45 P.M. near North Wabash Avenue and East Ontario Street on Sunday, July 9.
The Machine Entertainment Group artist was taken into custody and booked for misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon in a public place after cops found a gun. He, however, didn't spend a long time in prison since he was released soon after posting his bail.
