Busta Rhymes appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court today for his sentencing on charges of assault, driving while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license. According to New York Newsday, the rapper was sentenced to 10 hours of community service, three years probation and was ordered to pay a $1250 fine plus court costs. Facing four separate trials and the likelihood that he would serve jail time, Busta reached a plea agreement with prosecutors and in January plead guilty to two charges of misdemeanor assault. The fine covers the two driving infractions and the rapper will also be required to enroll in a drunk driving program. “If you mess up, you’re going to jail,” Judge Larry Stephen told the rapper. If he violates the terms of his plea, he could end up serving a year in prison. “I thank the judge for giving me a chance and I thank everybody for being supportive,” Busta told reporters as he left the courthouse.

Rapper Busta Rhymes avoided jail time today (January 23), after he pleaded guilty to assault and DUI charges.
Rhymes, born Trevor Smith accepted a plea deal in exchange for the guilty pleas. The acceptance is in direct contrast to Rhymes’ previous plea of not guilty, although the rapper has maintained his innocence throughout the entire case until now.
“Busta is glad to finally put this behind him,” Busta’s attorney Scott Leemon told AllHipHop.com. “The last year and a half was rough on his family. He is looking forward to the future and not the past. He’s also looking forward to getting back to doing what everybody loves and knows him for, entertaining.”
