After originally being sentenced to three years for striking a fellow clubgoer with a bottle of rum in 2008, Da Brat is out on work release. The first female rapper to have a certified platinum-selling album (1994’s Funkdafied), made a cameo on the latest installment of Jermaine Dupri’s “Living The Live” viral video series.
“I’m out on a little pass; I had to do some lawyer attorney stuff,” Brat explained. “Thank y’all for the love and support. I got a job. I work a nine-to-five, because I’m in the work release program. I make windows. If y’all need a window holla at your girl.”
Brat joked that in addition to her newly acquired trade of window making, she would look to continue pursuing new acting and musical projects saying, “Too much grass done grew up when I ain’t done nothing.” Prior to the 2007 incident that led to her incarceration, Da Brat appeared in half–a-dozen films and was also a cast member of the VH-1 Reality show “The Surreal Life.” Her last studio album was 2003’s, Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz. Per the terms of her sentencing, Brat must also complete seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service.
