A Tennessee rapper who boasted about committing Covid-19 relief fraud in a music video was sentenced to over six years in prison Wednesday, prosecutors said.
The 77-month sentence also included guilty pleas in separate cases to gun and drug counts, the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles said.
Fontrell Antonio Baines, of Memphis, who goes by “Nuke Bizzle,” stole more than $700,000 in Covid-19 unemployment benefits in a scheme in which other people’s names or stolen identities were used, prosecutors said.
