Hip-hop artist Sheff G "used his fame to fund and direct violence," prosecutors said. He appeared onstage with Trump last year.
A New York City hip-hop artist who appeared next to President Donald Trump during a rally in the Bronx last year has been sentenced to five years in prison for gang-related activities, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Wednesday.
Michael Williams, 26, known professionally as Sheff G, was among many who were accused of gang-related shootings and possessing guns, according to the release. He was charged alongside another popular rapper, Tegan Chambers, better known as Sleepy Hallow.
Williams was vocal about his support for Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign and made a guest appearance on stage at a Trump rally in May.
“They are always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures,” Williams told the crowd at the time. “Trump is going to shout the wins for all of us.”
Williams took a plea deal on Wednesday, pleading guilty to multiple counts of second-degree attempted murder and second- and fourth-degree conspiracy. In exchange, he was sentenced to five years in prison and five years’ post-release supervision, according to the statement from the district attorney’s office.
