According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/news\/ar-ab-sentenced-original-block-hustlaz-obh-abdul-west-philly-prison-20210415.html?outputType=amp\"><em>The Inquirer,<\/em> <\/a>the 38-year-old Philly rapper was sentenced to a whopping 45 years in prison for turning his Original Block Hustlaz (OBH) label into a drug trafficking ring linked to at least one murder.<\/p>\n<p>Although AR-Ab\u2019s\u00a0former associate claimed the rapper ordered the 2017 killing of rival Robert Johnson, U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson insisted it wasn\u2019t a consideration in his in his sentence. Baylson also insisted AR-Ab violent lyrics weren\u2019t a factor in his bulky sentence either. Instead, he said the 45 years was for his history of \u201canti<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could have been a hero instead of a criminal,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you became a drug dealer. You made that decision. That\u2019s why you\u2019re being punished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his arms crossed, AR-Ab defended his lifestyle choices, saying, \u201cThe court, the FBI agents, and the prosecutors don\u2019t understand my culture. We don\u2019t rap about flowers and rainbows. We\u2019re gangsta rappers. We rap about where we grew up. So we rap about drug dealing.

AR-Ab showed no sympathy toward the woman, insisting he had nothing to do with the slaying.<\/p>\n<p>Moments before U.S. Marshals led him away in handcuffs, it sounded like AR-Ab plans on filling appeal, ending the hearing with, \u201cI\u2019m not saying I\u2019m innocent.
