Several reports have confirmed that NBA Young Boy associate NBA Lil Pap, aka OTS Lil Pap aka Deandre Fields has accepted a plea deal from prosecutors in the Gee Money murder and was handed down a five year prison sentence for an accessory after the fact to murder charge.

The light sentence is due to fact that that the charge accepted in the plea agreement is a non-violent offense. Fields is also serving a three-year sentence for a federal weapons charge he received while awaiting trial. 

According to The Advocate, Fields said at his sentencing, “I’m going to agree to the deal, but I want to say for the record that I’m 100% innocent.” Judge Michael McDonald replied, “Well, if you’re not guilty, you’re not guilty.” Fields replied, “It’s in my best interest to accept the plea.”

NBA Lil Pap, 26, is accused of shooting Gee Money aka Garrett Burton, outside of Burton’s music studio in Baton Rouge in September 2017. Fields was arrested in 2019 for the murder of Burton, and his arrest warrant detailed what led to the beef between Burton and NBA YoungBoy.

NBA Lil Pap Takes Plea To Lesser Charge In Murder Case: Report

NBA YoungBoy may have dashed his legal troubles, but his affiliate, Lil Pap, reportedly has a few of his own. Two years ago, Deandre Fields, known as NBA Lil Pap, was indicted on second-degree murder charges. It was alleged that he was involved in a war between two rival Baton Rouge Rap crews. This beef escalated, purportedly resulting in the murder of 22-year-old Garrett Burton, also known as Gee Money.

It was alleged that Pap was responsible for pulling the trigger in Burton’s death. The Advocate reports the incident occurred outside of a recording studio in 2017.

The report stated Burton, who led the Top Boy Gorilla crew, and YoungBoy were once friends. However, when YoungBoy decided to go his own way with NBA, their relationship was said to have taken a turn.

It is also alleged that Burton’s death was a result of this Rap rivalry, as are other shooting connected to the tension. Prosecutors reportedly stated there have been several shootings in Baton Rouge, which made it difficult to get a conviction for Pap’s case.

For instance, a key witness to Burton’s shooting was also indicted for murder in 2020.

“This (Jefferson’s) arrest created a serious issue to the successful trial of Deandre Fields as the state’s eyewitness has been indicted for a homicide himself,” East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore said in a statement. “There was no other direct information outside of some circumstantial evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Fields was responsible for this homicide.”

Pap was able to secure a plea deal with the prosecution. He took an accessory charge and was sentenced to five years in prison. Some believe he quite literally got away with murder considering he was facing a life sentence.

“Under the circumstances the state was not in any other position but to resolve this matter under these circumstances,” Moore said. “My office has discussed these issues with Mr. Burton’s family prior to accepting this plea.”

Additionally, Pap has long denied responsibility for Burton’s death.
