In Other News: 42 Dugg Dodged A Serious Case
2021 HipHopDX Rising Star 42 Dugg just beat a 2020 case.
According to The Detroit News, a federal judge sentenced 42 Dugg — born Dion Hayes — to three years of probation and slapped him with a $90,000 fine for illegal possession of a firearm.
The “We Paid” rapper was indicted on illegal gun possession charges back in March of 2020, after federal agents received an anonymous tip that he had fired a weapon inside an Atlanta gun range. Although it shouldn’t be an issue to fire a gun at a gun range, the problem was the Detroit native couldn’t possess firearms after being convicted of felony firearm possession following a 2010 carjacking.
After learning his case had been finally closed, 42 kept it short and sweet in his reaction on Twitter with “Tired.”
