DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Da Brat was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for hitting a hostess in the head with a rum bottle during an altercation at a suburban Atlanta nightclub last fall.
The 34-year-old rapper, whose given name is Shawntae Harris, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in DeKalb County. Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced her to three years behind bars and seven on probation, plus 200 hours of community service and completion of substance abuse treatment, mental evaluation and anger management classes.
Harris was at a private Halloween party at Studio 72, a club in Tucker, when she struck then-Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens, who was working part-time as a hostess.
A police report indicated Harris and Stevens got into a squabble after they bumped into each other. Stevens walked away and moments later was hit in the face with the bottle.
She sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said.
Recordings by Da Brat, a native of Chicago and a protege of Jermaine Dupri, include the song "Funkdafied." She also has appeared on reality shows such as "Celebrity Fit Club" and "The Surreal Life."
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF LISARAYE?!?!? First, her husband leaves her, now her sister's been through under the jail. And LISARAYE is not a very good actress, so what will become of her?
Meh. It's not like it's gonna be any different for her in there than out here; she can still manage to be an unsuccessful has-been / chocha monster behind bars, can she not?
Lmao its understandable thats the 6th or 7th time thats happened but yeah they really need to calm down
You seem to get annoyed when people think you're male, but honestly why would you put "Boii" in your name if you didn't want that to happen? Not trying to offend, just a little curious.
