Brooklyn drill rapper Sheff G, who appeared alongside Donald Trump at a campaign rally last year, has been sentenced to five years in prison after admitting he funneled earnings from his music career into gang violence.
The 27-year-old artist, born Michael Williams, will also serve five years of supervised release as part of the sentence handed down on Wednesday. He accepted the prison term in a plea deal earlier this year, pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder and a conspiracy charge.
