FORMER BAD BOY RAPPER, LOON GETS SENTENCED TO 14 YEARS IN PRISON

 Most of Bad Boy artists disappear into oblivion to never be heard from again. 

Former Bad Boy rapper, Loon, now known as Amir Junaid Muhadith has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. The conviction stems from a drug trafficking charge that took place several years ago in North Carolina.

In 2011, Amir allegedly tried to flee to Belgium, but was arrested and remains imprisoned there. However, this week he was officially sentenced and has decided to share his side of the story. 

“I also want to explain to you in detail, the detail of the charges I was charged with and the federal indictment from the Eastern District of North Carolina which was the conspiracy charge, which I was charged with. Conspiring to possess with intent to distribute…If someone was to call you on the phone and make statements engaging in some form of illegal act, the moment that you answer that persons question or answer that person in general, automatically that falls underneath the umbrella of conspiracy. That means at that point you are conspiring to join that individual…to do something illegal.”

 “In my case, back in 2008, before Islam, I was affiliated—not even affiliated, I don’t want to say that, but some individuals had crossed my path who were interested at one point in the music business,” he explained. “At some point these individuals called me in regards to something that was totally away from the lifestyle and life I was living. The fact that I responded to these individuals placed me underneath the umbrella of conspiracy and therefore once these individuals were apprehended by the United States government they chose to implement me in the situation.”
