Deandre “NBA Lil Pap” Fields accepted a plea offer today in the shooting of rap artist Gee Money. Gee Money was shot and eliminated beyond his music studio in September 2017. As part of the plea offer, Lil Pap will do 5 years behind bars.
Lil Pap and Gee Money fell out in 2017 after NBA YoungBoy chose to fly solo.
“This arrest created a serious issue to the successful trial of Deandre Fields as the state’s eyewitness has been indicted for a homicide himself,” District Attorney Hillar Moore stated in a declaration at the time. “There was no other direct information outside of some circumstantial evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Fields was responsible for this homicide.”
Instead of being charged for second-degree murder, district attorneys charged him with device after the truth of murder. Lil Pap is presently serving a three-year sentence for a federal weapons charge.
“I’m going to agree to the deal, but I want to say for the record that I’m 100% innocent,” lil Pap informed the judge per The Advocate.
Judge Michael McDonald reacted, “Well, if you’re not guilty, you’re not guilty.”
“It’s in my best interest to accept the plea,” the rap artist reacted.
