Chicago, IL

Cdai was sentenced to 38 years in prison by a Cook County judge yesterday (May 9). Cdai is an affiliate of Savage Squad Records.

DNA Info reports the Chicago rapper, born Courtney Ealy, was convicted in March of first degree murder for the slaying of Javan Boyd, a local man who worked as a jitney cab driver. Boyd was on the job when in 2014, Cdai and Clint Massey, who raps as RondoNumbaNine, reportedly pulled up on his car and opened fire.

The incident was reportedly in retribution for an earlier shooting and the two were part of a group of three cars that was driving around looking for revenge. They came upon Boyd and asked him where he was from before shooting him.

Massey is scheduled to be sentenced in the coming weeks.
