WATERLOO, IA – A Waterloo, Iowa court appearance for Chicago rapper 600Breezy took a wrong turn when the artist was reportedly sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Details of the arrest were shared in a now-deleted upload to 600Breezy’s Instagram profile, which stated the rapper, who had three months left on probation, was taken into custody because he apparently smoked marijuana and was “black while on probation.”
“Six-O-Breezo was taken into custody for probation violation,” read the screen capture of the Instagram post, which was obtained by a relative. “We will keep his fans updated. It was very extreme but his team will be working to get him back to his kids & right back to work. Please understand it was over smoking Gods gift & being black while on probation.”
A few months ago, the rising Chiraq driller 600 Breezy landed at the end of Drake‘s More Life track, “Lose You.” This past Friday (June 2), the rapper, who appeared on stage with Drizzy, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards a couple of weeks back, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating his probation, which stems from his May 2012 arrest for crack cocaine possession.
Breezy’s mother, Renita King, used her Facebook account to confirm Breezy’s 10-year sentence. “Iowa just locked up Antonio Valentino King for 10 yrs. This is the worst birthday of my life,” she wrote.
According to Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Breezy was one of several people arrested for “possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine” on May 30, 2012. Five years later, Breezy’s past is once again come back to bite him.
“They took him in revoked his probation and gave him 10yrs. He won’t have to do it but basically lock him up for smoking weed & being black,” reads a text from someone on Breezy’s team, now claiming Breezy had gotten in trouble for smoking weed. Drizzy replied, “I won’t let him sit. We will do everything we can.” It’s something.
