42 Dugg has been behind bars since 2022 in a case that has played out over the last few years – and his experience has been quite dismal.

In a since-deleted Instagram post on Tuesday (May 16), the “We Paid” rapper opened up about the concerning conditions he’s allegedly facing in prison, including the lack of hot water for his food.

“let me update y’all on what’s really going on,” Digg began. “atl us marshalls tryna keep me from going home I supposed to get out oct 14th of last year they illegally held me without reasoning because they felt my federal judge in Detroit shouldn’t of gave me ah bond, I let that slide then after I got sentenced one of tell me he not sending me to ah prison, he gone make me do my time in ah county jail which is ten time worst, then he had the nerve to tell me he knows where I live.”

He continued: “I supposed to had court today for ah old case The us marshals then told the jail dont let me on zoom to handle the case so I can’t possibly go to the halfway house. Bruh these muthafuckas been sending all kinda guards to talk to me seeing if ima ask for something the crazy thing is they putting me on game, they telling me the marshals tryna ruin your life, they dont want you going home. They haven’t even submitted my paperwork for me to receive my out date and calculate my days, I need. The best civil lawyer in Georgia man.”

“Im in jail for going to the gun range, dropping dirty and failure to appear. I didn’t steal from nobody, hurt nobody, they handling me crazy. Man im in this bitch heating my food up with the water from the nasty ass shower. They dont even give us hot water to heat our food up aint no microwave, I can’t get no visits from my family nothing. Im sure they gone do some more illegal shit but what I pose to die in this bitch for probation violation.”

The Detroit rapper was sentenced to one year behind bars in April – despite prosecutors recommending a six-month sentence. He’ll also have to serve three years of supervised release following his bid, as well as pay a $20,000 fine and not use illegal drugs.

Dugg pleaded guilty to his failure to surrender case back in February. Though prosecutors agreed to recommend the same six-month sentence he is accused of skipping out on, presiding judge William Ray II had the ability to overrule the recommendation and hit Dugg with up to five years behind bars.

The original issue began back in November 2019, when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received a tip that Dugg had fired a weapon at an Atlanta gun range. As a convicted felon for prior carjacking and firearms possession charges, he was not allowed to fire any weapon, and he was ultimately arrested and charged with felony firearms possession in March 2020.
In May 2021, 42 Dugg and his legal team entered plea negotiations for the gun charge, which carried a maximum sentence of 10 years. With the plea deal, he was able to avoid jail time and get away with probation. However, a judge revoked his probation soon after and slapped him with six months in jail and two years of supervised release.

42 Dugg was expected to surrender and report to a West Virginia prison in April of last year. He did not, however, and federal agents had to retrieve him – which was evidently soon after he landed at a Detroit airport last May.

He initially pleaded not guilty with the excuse that he’s a sovereign citizen and doesn’t have to comply with federal law. That failed to work, however.
