The Texas rapper testified for around 20 minutes during the sentencing hearing for Demonte Jackson, who previously pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery.
Bun B opened up about the emotional impact that the robbery had on his wife Angela “Queenie” Walls, saying: “This was an entirely new traumatizing incident. This is something we still deal with to this day.

“There are times when she gets closed off. She can’t communicate, and I just get so angry all over again because she didn’t deserve this. She didn’t ask for this,” he continued while holding back tears.”
The rap veteran added that his wife never stepped foot in the house again after leaving the following day as she was so traumatized by the robbery.
Bun B also recounted the events of the night where his wife answered the door thinking it was a delivery driver but was instead greeted by a masked robber. He detailed how he heard the robbery from a different floor in the house and that Jackson was holding a gun to his wife’s head.
Bun then said that upon hearing the commotion, he grabbed his gun but his wife told him: “Don’t come downstairs. He’s going to kill me.”

He added: “She was very panicked. She was borderline hysterical. She just did not want me to go out that door and face the person with the gun.”
By this time, Jackson had made his way to the garage and was sitting in their car when Bun B fired several shots at the intruder, with one hitting him in the shoulder.
The two continued to exchange gunshots before fighting on the floor of the garage, with Jackson managing to escape.
Bun explained that he chased after Jackson and caught up to him before taking off his mask: “I wanted to know who that was behind the mask. I wanted to know if this was someone I knew personally or someone that knew someone I knew personally. Just the idea of seeing my wife in this state, I wanted to know who had done this to her.”

Sentencing for Jackson is expected to continue on Friday (June 7).
Following his emotional court appearance, Bun B defended his decision to take the stand, writing on Instagram: “Not like i owe an explanation, but he had already pled out. This was sentencing. But speak ya minds lol.”

Speaking on Instagram Live, he also claimed that Jackson’s legal team were “trying to get some sympathy” regarding his sentencing and so he felt compelled to speak up in defense of his wife.
