Dang, this is some serious stuff. But at least he’s still making music. Survivor’s Remorse is a solid album, gotta say!
Looks like G Herbo got caught in his own web. Fraud is a serious crime y’all…let this be a lesson.

Doesn’t matter if u’r famous, if u do the crime, u gotta do the time. Still, 20 years is a long time :/
Kinda hard to believe he’s guilty wen he so openly pled not guilty before. somethin smells fishy here. Can we rly trust the system?
