Da Brat Sent To Jail For 3 Years

Da Brat had just joined the legacy of bad girls and fellow rappera like Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, and Remy Ma to prison. She was sentenced yesterday to three years in prison for hitting a hostess in the head with a bottle during an argument at an Atlanta nightclub.

The rapper whose given name is Shawntae Harris, pleaded guilty to assault. Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced her to 3 years behind bars, 7 yrs probation, and 200 hours community service and anger management treatment. The offense occurred at a Halloween party at Studio 72 club in Tucker, when she struck then Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens, who was working part-time as a hostess.


A police report indicated Harris and Stevens got into a squabble after they bumped into each other. Stevens walked away and a moment later was hit in the face with the bottle. She sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said. Da Brat is Grammy awards rapper and a protégé of mega producer Jermaine Dupri." She also has appeared on reality shows like as The Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club.
