Bugzie The Don Got Five Months In Federal Time Out!

Bugzie The Don gets a record deal of five months. MAGA rapper pays the price for supporting Washed Up 45.

The Virginia rapper who posed on a U.S. Capitol Police vehicle smoking a blunt while rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol gets his federal sandwich. The rapper who supported Washed Up 45 went with Forgiato Blow and numerous other MAGA rappers to storm the Capitol in rage of the former president's request for then-Vice President Mike Pence to change the results (which he couldn't legally do).

Antionne Brodnax, known as Bugzie The Don will have some street cred. The first rapper to overthrow democracy. He titled his album, The Capital, while sitting on a U.S. Capitol Police SUV smoking a blunt.

The rapper pled guilty in October to four misdemeanors after rejecting a plea deal. Prosecutors wanted five years due to the fact he has a history in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The DMV rapper decided to delete the images of the riot from his phone which prosecutors wanted to say that he intentionally destroyed evidence and tried to claim that he wasn't involved in the attack.

Additional footage allegedly busted the Sandston, Virginia native inside the Capitol where he took pictures with statues in the midst of the riots.

Bugzie previously pleaded guilty to four counts in the fall of 2021, including entering a restricted building and illegally protesting in a capitol building.

The Justice Department initially asked for 21 months because of Bugzie’s “extensive criminal history,” noting that he was on probation for a felony conviction when he entered the Capitol. They also said he “attempted to profit from the riot by releasing a rap album that used the attack on the Capitol as a theme.”

In the end, his sentence was lightened, as prosecutors noted in a statement of facts agreed to by Bugzie in his plea deal that he didn’t directly clash with Capitol Police, and was instead “swept along with the group.”

According to WRIC, Bugzie was only inside the building for just over a half hour, and exited through a side door when other rioters started chanting “break it down” in an attempt to breach a police line.

Bugzie previously claimed he was in the D.C. area shooting a music video and decided to show up to the Capitol after noticing the commotion taking place outside before breaching. He also denied being a Washed Up 45 supporter.

Bugzie The Don is one of more than 400 that have been arrested for their involvement in storming the government headquarters thanks to footage, social media and tips from family members. Sentencing remains ongoing.
