Rapper who joined Trump at rally jailed for five years for attempted murder

Sheff G, who took stage with Trump in the Bronx last year, pleaded guilty on three counts

A New York City rapper who joined Donald Trump during a campaign rally last year has been sentenced to five years behind bars after he admitted he used earnings from his music career to fuel gang violence in Brooklyn.

Sheff G, whose legal name is Michael Williams, also must serve five years of supervised release once he is freed, under the terms of the sentence imposed on Wednesday. He had agreed to the prison term after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors earlier this year. He pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder and a conspiracy charge.
