Trapboy Freddy’’s staring down a potential 10-year sentence after copping a guilty plea in his weapons case. According to Fox4News, the rapper pleaded guilty to a gun charge on May 11th, although a judge hasn’t determined the sentencing yet. However, according to the deal, Freddy could be sentenced to less than 10 years in prison, supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Through the deal, Freddy avoids further gun-related charges but he must hand over a Taurus TCP .380-caliber gun.
Freddy’s recent issues with the law stem from an arrest in August 2022, which captured national headlines. U.S. Marshals claimed that they entered Freddy’s home only to encounter a caged tiger cub. However, these rumors quickly spread across social media that the tiger escaped from the Dallas Zoo. Ultimately, both police and officials from the zoo clarified the rumors. “Dallas Animal Services responded to the address and secured the tiger, which is currently being held in protective custody at an undisclosed location,” police said in a statement.

Trapboy Freddy Pleads Guilty
Ahead of his arrest, the rapper had taken photos alongside the baby tiger. He shared images of himself with the cub on a leash. However, there weren’t any confirmations from law enforcement officials or Freddy himself whether it was the same cub that was taken by Animal Services. Police took Trapboy Freddy into custody and charged him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The rapper was previously involved in cases related to assault, organized criminal activity, probation violation, and unlawful carry of a firearm.
The sentencing will undoubtedly put Freddy’s career on hold for a bit. The rapper released his last project, No Distractions in 2022. The Dallas native’s latest project included appearances from Lil Keed, Yella Beezy, and Fetty Wap. However, he continued to release new music this year with “Back End (Freestyle)” and “Webbie G Shit Freestyle.” With a potential 10-year sentence on the line, we hope that he’ll still be able to release new music.
