G Herbo has agreed to plead guilty in Massachusetts to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and making a false statement to a federal official, the Chicago Tribune and The Republican report. As part of the plea deal, G Herbo will have two charges of aggravated identify theft dismissed. The rapper, who is expected to enter his guilty plea in court later this month, faces up to 20 years in prison.
Pitchfork has reached out to G Herbo’s attorney, James W. Lawson, for comment on his plea agreement.
In 2020, G Herbo and five other men were charged in a federal grand jury indictment that accused them of taking part in a defrauding scheme. The men were said to have purchased private jet charters, exotic car rentals, designer puppies, and more using stolen payment and credit card information.
After the indictment was made public, G Herbo’s management said that the rapper “maintains his innocence and looks forward to establishing his innocence in court.” He pleaded not guilty to the charges and further defended himself in the song “Statement.” A few months later, G Herbo was additionally charged with making a false statement to a federal official.
In the time since he was indicted, G Herbo has released the albums 25 and Survivor’s Remorse. The musician was arrested for the unlawful use of a weapon after being pulled over by police in Chicago earlier this month.
