New York rapper who joined Trump at campaign rally sentenced to 5 years for attempted murder

A New York City rapper who joined then-former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally last year has been sentenced to five years behind bars after he admitted he used earnings from his music career to fuel gang violence in Brooklyn. Sheff G, whose legal name is Michael Williams, also must serve five years of supervised release once he's freed under the terms of the sentence imposed Wednesday. “This defendant had talent and opportunity, but chose to use them to fuel violence instead of building a better future,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said after the sentencing.
