42 Dugg got in trouble after ATF got tip
According to The Detroit News, these legal problems date back to November 2019, when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received word that Dugg — who had previously served a sentence for carjacking. and in possession of a gun — opened fire. at a bunch of Atlanta guns.
This accusation was confirmed through surveillance footage and the rap star was eventually arrested and charged with aggravated gun possession in March 2020.
He was then sentenced to three years of probation. However, after being repeatedly caught violating the terms of his probation, he was ordered to surrender to a federal prison camp to serve a six-month sentence.
Ultimately, his failure to comply with the order got him into even more trouble, though the exact ramifications won’t be clear until he’s convicted later this year.
