Bankroll Freddie Loses Appeal As Court Allows Rap Lyrics As Evidence

Bankroll Freddie Loses Appeal As Court Allows Rap Lyrics As Evidence

Bankroll Freddie just lost his appeal to overturn convictions that’ll keep him locked up for over a decade, and the court’s reasoning about his rap lyrics is raising serious questions about how Hip-Hop gets used against artists in the courtroom. An Eighth Circuit panel ruled that his marijuana and firearms convictions stand solid, saying his lyrics were fair game as evidence because they showed he understood drug and gun terminology.
