Rapper Antionne “Bugzie the Don” Brodnax sat boldly in front of the U.S. Capitol building as the historic insurrection unfolded around him last January 6. Seizing the opportunity, the Virginia native took a photo he later used as the cover art for one of his albums. But now that’s going to cost him. According to WUSA9, The Justice Department wants Brodnax to serve 21 months behind bars for participating in the melee.
As reporter Jordan Fischer explained in a tweet, “The DOJ filed its sentencing memo for Antionne ‘Bugzie the Don’ Brodnax (formerly of Virginia). Brodnax pleaded guilty in October to 4 courts without a plea agreement in place. DOJ wants 21 months because he was probation.”
He added, “DOJ, asking for 21 months for Antionne ‘Bugzie the Don’ Brodnax, says the sentence is warranted by his extensive criminal history. He was on probation for a felony conviction when he entered the Capitol on January 6.”
Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters were easily able to breach security at the U.S. Capitol last January, leading many conspiracy theorists to surmise it was an inside job. One Trump supporter identified as Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by one of the Capitol police officers who confronted rioters as they entered the building. Their intention was reportedly to halt the electoral vote count to prevent President-elect Joe Biden from officially being declared the 46th President of the United States.
Their efforts were all in vain and Congress certified Joe Biden’s win just a day later once Congress were able to return to their duties. A recent article from Insider states 769 people have already been charged relating to the insurrection, but only 202 federally charged rioters have entered guilty pleas.

Mary Maguire, Brodnax’s attorney, said in her sentencing memo last month her client “should only be facing an advisory sentence of two-to-eight months.” Maguire believes additional probation and two months of home detention (if necessary) would suffice.
Maguire described Brodnax as an entrepreneur and a “great community asset” who currently works in Georgia at a high-pressure processing plant. Maguire also praised Brodnax for immediately cooperating with the FBI when agents contacted him. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman is scheduled to sentence Brodnax on February 23.
We become a country controlled by the goverment everyday more and more right in front of our faces. I have no idea what the guys point is by taking that photo but no matter how he feels he should be allowed to do that that is his art
Well, he’s not going to jail because he took the photo, he’s going because he went inside the capitol. While on probation. For a felony.
Hate to say it but dude it right, that was pretty stupid. I don’t care what your political affiliation is,if you do something that stupid then yeah you deserve to be locked up for a lil bit. Play stupid games,win stupid prizes.
Fuck around and find out
Since when is it illegal to enter a public building during open hours? Even if he is on probation, it’s not a crime.
If you were shopping in a store, while on probation, and the store was robbed, does that make you a criminal?
You most certainly do if that mall is closed for an event or such.
If you think they he’s facing jail time for a picture than you’re sadly mistaken. They violently pushed their way in and ransacked offices, while smearing shit on the walls. Sounds like some upstanding citizens to me!
He broke the law once he entered. Or did you not see those photos? Can I break into your house for a photo shoot?
That house is his house, it’s my house, hell it’s even your house, it’s our house and everything in it. That means the people in it, they work for us and live on OUR damn house. We are their employersWE put the food on their tables.
Remember that
When he walked in it had already been broken into, he was basically trespassing at most.
Be my guest friend. Ill send you the addy. And by the way you missed the point by a mile as the other people also did. “his album cover adds time to his sentence” is what I was referring to. Idgaf about his or your political views but i do care about freedom of art.
All I can say is,” WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ” YOU ALREADY WERE ARRESTED FOR A FELONY, AND YOU GO AND DO SOMETHING THAT STUPID, YOU DESERVE THE SENTENCE YOU GOT
That’s what I said about that Floyd fool
Oh… So the black guy gets one of the longer sentences? Seems about white….. And yes, i am a white guy. Fuck Donald Trump
Fuck your mother, we all did!
No your not… your as dumb and soft as a pile of mashed potatoes.. I can tell from your one pathetic comment..
WOW this a hate filled feed and this Veteran knows that all the insurrectionist including Trump are TRAITORS they not using that word in the media
Why would he plead guilty without a deal? Unless he’s being tortured without bail like a lot of the other protesters.
They should get no bail for being traitors
Yup, along with all those communist’s and marxists that rioted all summer, each one should be shot in a public square. I wanna see that!
Well it’s easy to see why you would think he’s a traitor ma piggy… obviously can’t see thru the propaganda you obviously are admittedly steeped in…
Same to give money black lady or whatever tf your name is…
You people do not even understand what traitors are.. what freedom is or why we have rights and how we lose em… go read a non government funded history book.. preferably not even from this century…. YALL are living in a SITCOM..
Full on libtard response like the other useful idiots on this thread. All of you belong living in a communist country ,you’ll be the first ones in the camps, cause you drink the coolaid, you’ll walk right in, .
Well it should improve his street cred. He went to a riot, unlawfully entered a building and got prison time. It all makes a great rap song.
The stupid ass misspelled “Capitol” on his album cover. “Capital” is accurate in describing his misdeeds.
Incorrect
Lol it’s the United States Capitol goofy
He meant Capital, as in money, you fuckin dolt.
They all should have been charged with treason.
The perfect useful idiot response..
yall some serious sheep,this country was made by insurrectionists,fought for by insurrectionist and settled by insurrectionists.otherwise wed be speaking brittish and hailing the queen.
you idiots that dont question the government or too scared to voice any opinion that isnt spoon fed to you by media shills like this one are doomed to repeat history……you wont be anything more then another statistic on the wrong side of history.
Hey dummy. Why are you on a hip hop site. You should be on a honkytonkdx.com anyobe who follows Trump is a shape but you guys love being hypocrites. You aren’t saving the country if you’re just against the democrats.
U realise British isn’t a language its called English and its literally the language that you already speak ‘American’ isn’t a language its English with a few words spelt wrong like fuck the government I’m all for free thinking but educate yourself a bit before you go calling people idiots and sheep ?
That was a WHOLE lot of cheating that had to have been done. An historic amount never before witnessed in the history of this country. Truly remarkable.Biden won by over 7 million popular votes and 74 electoral votes. I wonder how they pulled that off? Better yet I wonder how Biden got 74 state reps to vote in his favor????? AMAZING!!!!
Every last one of those brain washed traitors should of been shot on the spot for stupidity alone, let alone breaking into the Capitol of the USA.
Hypocrites describing the 6th as an insurrection while saying nothing about Marxists taking over blm lol. Trump was the best thing to happen to this country because he pissed off all the right people… Establishment bootlickers.
Let’s not pretend they want him in jail longer for any other reason but that he’s black. The man basically sat outside and watched while using it as a chance to get a picture of a lifetime. By the way I’m against the insurrection on the 6th
The people who call BLM a Marxist group or terrorist or anything other then what it actually is are part of the qanon CULT of trumptards. Trump set back race relations in this country more then 80 years. He’s a LIAR, devicsive, spineless, con, crook, etc, etc. Anyone who thinks he was the best thing to ever happen to this country couldn’t even have a labotomy. Comparing treason to looting stores is completely clueless.
AMEN, AMEN So glad there are still people that get it. I made a statement that the Capital police and others involved in security of the capital that day should have made carpet of those who involved themselves in the insurection, destruction of our Capital and or our Democracy!!
Yes because you need a brain to have a lobotomy
For real? People taking up for his ass? Why didn’t he just not go? Why not just stay at the crib. People taking up for and making excuses for asinine behavior.
This cat seem clueless about politics. That was a stunt that went predictably bad. Let him suffer the consequences of his stupidity and I hope that all the others are dealt with just as severely as in his case.
The grammar in this article is the real crime
Nah….punishment seems about right. His stupid ass should’ve stayed home like the rest of us and watched these people act a fool on tv. And he was on probation committing a federal crime?
Wish they had been successful. Maybe the country wouldn’t be on a sinking ship right now?
Really we just add over 400 thousand of jobs so what else is in your delusional mind , is in need of meds
“Historic Insurrection” it’s a public building and they opened the doors for them LMAO
How stupid or perhaps clever, maybe, can you be? ???????
Rapper needing publicity? Genius
Rapper gets 21 mths because of current probation? Dumb
Rapper knowing he’ll probably pay a big fine and serve 7 mths, then, blow up big time due to his infamous “insurrection.”
PRICELESS!
So dumb?
.
or genius?
Somwewhere in-between? ?
I vote stupid in-between genius! ?
