Caldwell was acquitted of a murder charge in 2019 from a 2016 incident in Carson, California that left a 24-year old man dead. He was also acquitted of five attempted murder charges and conspiracy to commit murder. LA County prosecutors then sought to retry the rapper for charges related to the same killing, which was resolved in a plea bargain.

He was released from custody in November 2020 after three years in prison, from where he recorded a full album “Thank You for Using GTL” to high praise in 2018.

Wow. Gets to kill a person and record a album. What a sweet guy!
