Nipsey Hussle Accepts Jail Time
Nipsey Hussle‘s codeine charge from about a year ago has ended with some relatively good news.
He only has to serve two more days in jail for the crime.
Back in June 2015, Crenshaw’s rap mayor was popped with codeine in his cup, mixed with ice and an unidentified soft drink and was arrested for that, as well as driving with a suspended license.
Prosecutors have agreed with his legal team to dismiss the additional charge of riding around with the suspected syrup in accordance with his no contest plea, TMZ reports. Following the plea, the 30-year-old Hussle, whose real name is Ermias Asghedom, got credited with three days served and will knock out the remaining days sometime before July 1.
Following his arrest, attorney, Mark Bledstein, gave plausible reason for his client to be packing opiates, alleging that the cough syrup was for the beating his throat endures due to his strenuous tour schedule.
The news comes on the heels of T.I. slipping up and revealing that Mr. Hussle and his longtime girlfriend, Lauren London, are expecting a child together.
On the music front, Hussle is back focusing on his craft in the studio.
