Rapper Da Brat Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison

Lesbian rapper Da Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for assaulting a waitress with a bottle of alcohol, because she accidentally bumped into her. Okay, then.

The waitress and aspiring model sustained several facial cuts that scarred her, when Da Brat hit her in the face with a bottle of liquor and she fell down a flight of stairs. This is the second time Da Brat has been in trouble for assaulting another person. In 2000 she was arrested for beating a woman with a gun.

That entire So So Def outfit have not been having a good year. The label's CEO, Jermaine Dupri, closed his restaurant recently without paying his employees for weeks. It is also being said he is being fired from his job, as two releases he oversaw bomb.

The releases in question are, "Discipline" by Janet Jackson and "E=MC2" by Mariah Carey. Janet's album flopped straight out the gate, while Carey's unoriginal faux pop meets reggae CD started okay, then tanked.
