The “We Paid” rapper was indicted on illegal gun possession charges back in March of 2020, after federal agents received an anonymous tip that he had fired a weapon inside an Atlanta gun range. Although it shouldn’t be an issue to fire a gun at a gun range, the problem was the Detroit native couldn’t possess firearms after being convicted of felony firearm possession following a 2010 carjacking.
