Mimi's B.F.F. Is Sentenced to Prison!

Filed under: Music Minute > Legal Matters

brat.jpg

It must be a sad day for Mariah Carey.

One of the few people invited to her secret wedding to Nick Cannon and her main bestie, rapper Da Brat, was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday.

Her offense???

Striking a woman with a rum bottle at an Atlanta-area nightclub.

Crazy!

Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, was also sentenced to seven years probation and 200 hours of community service.

About six members of Bratty Brat's family wept when a sheriff’s deputy took her into custody.

Da Brat told the family, “I love y’all,” as she was led out of the courtroom by authorities.

Her fam responded, “We love you, too,” in unison.

The report didn't mention any Mimi sightings in the courtroom.

What kind of a friend is that????

  9. 9

    Well That sucks maybe she should think about whats going to happen to her if she going to strike someone with a rum bottle.

  10. 10

    THATS CRAZY! 3 YEARS?? i mean of she hit her in the face w a bottle but i think 3 years is the maximum prison time for that offense. I wonder if she got the maximum due to her celebrity?? As a matter of fact they were talking about this issue on the radio one day and a random person called in and said that they recieved only 3 months in prison and 2 years probation for this. Looks like shes gonna have LOTS of time to think about what shes done!! SUCKS!

    fucking kills me how she gets 3 years for hitting someone that probably deserved it and people driving the wrong way on the highway (nicole) slamming into trees all cracked out (lezlo) and driving totally drunk (khloe, shia, etc) get 83 minutes of jail. whateverrrrrrrrrrrrr…….. just doesn't seem like the glove fits (oj)

  12. 12

    phat…

  13. 13

    Good. Don't hit someone in the head with a bottle, just because you feel like it. These people are pathetic.

    P.S. Please don't turn this into a racist post.

  14. 14

    Poor Mimi….
    Why is she friend of this NO Lister…???

  15. 15

    Good she was a fucking bitch anyway. She deserves to be in prison! Let's see how fucking tough she is in prison. I hated her!

  16. 16

    Oh darn. Someone I don't care about in the first place is being locked away. She annoyed the shit outta me on "Surreal Life"

  17. 17

    THATS RIDICULOUS! She had a fight. She doesnt deserve to go to prison. WTF.

  18. 18

    Shawntae? Yeah, I guess if my folks had named me that I'd go by Da Brat.

  19. 19

    Re: karencarpenter – Yeah - maybe she should go by Da Brat Wurst.

  20. 20

    Re: abercoreyYou get $7!!!

  21. 21

    I remember her on surreal life…..she was ready to crack Chynas BF in the head with a bottle too!!!

  22. 22

    Re: Andy27 – I never got my $7!!! Who's in charge??? I've been ripped!!

  23. 23

    Re: hottie – Could be that she may have had priors, which always help determine what your sentencing will be. I served 4.5 years in the Florida Department of Corrections, and during my time there, I saw many, many people, with just driving with no license charges, doing the same amount of time as me, simply because of previous convictions. And in the south (I'm assuming she got sentenced in the state of Georgia) they don't play about that shit. It's not like the North East, where they're lenient and only give you fines and community hours.

  24. 24

    HOw nice

    Re: HeebieJeebie – It takes 6 to 8 weeks for processing. Offer is not valid in Wisconsin, South Dakota, Delaware, Oregon or Nevada.

    3 years!! damn she must have a record already

  27. 27

    well, you can't exactly go around hitting people in heads with heavy/hard objects

  28. 28

    At first 3 years seemed like alot but after reading the quote below, I've changed my mind. I would be one furious m!therf!cker if someone scarred my face!!!!!!

    "The victim, a waitress at the club, had to be hospitalized after being struck by Harris, and Flake said the woman suffered permanent facial scarring."

  29. 29

    She'll probably only have to serve like 20 days being a celebrity and all. Isn't that what usually happens? Prisons become 'conveniently' full.

  30. 30

    Let that be a lesson to all these animals.

  34. 34

    what the shitt.. why did she get 3 years for just hitting someone with a bottle??? that seems ridic, did the girl she hit die or something?

  35. 35

    Re: HeebieJeebie

    lol I remember that….that was fuckin hilarious..

  36. 36

    Re: Andy27 – she probably did have priors……… good point!! BUT 3 years seems like a long time unless you gave the bitch brain damage or something !

  37. 37

    oh damnnnn! that sucks!

  38. 38

    Re: amanda88 – Keep that in my mind the next time some ill-mannered, welfare bred, ghetto beast, PERMANENTLY scars YOUR face, or the face of someone you hold dear.

  39. 39

    I thought she was the brother of lil bow wow? That must have been some fight. Good luck girl!

  40. 40

    Understandable if Mimi don't want her for BFF anymore. She's fucked up.

  41. 41

    You all realize Da Brat is truly a Lesbian? She should be alright in prison.

  42. 42

    She'll be fine in prison but is she going to a women's or men's facility?

  43. 43

    Nick hogan received 8 months for destroying john graziano's life…accident or not! True, brat fucked up, but damn…3 years for krystal-whipping some broad does not deserve 3 years!! Not to mention all the sick bastards & teachers raping/molesting, etc kids & barely getting or not getting any time at all..

  44. 44

    Fucking ghetto trash

  45. 45

    I LOVE THE BRAT>>>SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO CLOCK A SILLY HOE>>>>

  46. 46

    That's insane. What is this world coming to…Prison for hittin a chick with a bottle. Thank god that wasn't what happened when I was in college. Back then we did that shit and you just didn't hear back from the person. Hell I was in a bar fight where the entire bar was fighting and we all ran and no one got in trouble, pool balls were flying, sticks and chairs thrown and broken…That's insane. So now taxpayers have to pay for her ass to sit in a cell. Bullshit. They should have just hit her with a pain and suffering tab….

  47. 47

    I need to find out her info so I can write her. Shes my 1st crush!

    Isn't it intersesting that black celebrities ALWAYS get such harsh sentences for (somewhat) minor offenses, yet white celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Khloe Kardashian, and Paris Hilton BARELY get a slap on the hand for driving around Los Angeles shitfaced on a regular basis. Let's see if Da Brat gets her sentence expedited like those three shitheads all did.

  51. 51

    And isn't that chick with the bite marks from her hubby her sister??? That family has hit a rough patch. I might be mistaken though. And why's the rum always gone???

  52. 52

    This is another biotch that need to step up and admit she is a lezbo. Her, missy, and queen latifah.

  53. 53

    WAIT A MINUTE……………A BLACK RAPPER WAS ARRESTED??

    SHOCKING!!!! WHATEVER HAPPENED I'M SURE IT WASN'T HER

    FAULT! IT MUST BE RACIST!!
