Bankroll Freddie speaks after a judge sentenced the rapper to 12 and a half years in prison, criticizing the judge and prosecutors in a lengthy statement on social media.

On Sunday (Nov. 3), the Arkansas rapper took to Instagram to criticize his sentence, claiming prosecutors and the judge had a “vendetta” against him. He called the sentence “cruel and unusual punishment,” arguing that the murders are carried out with less time.

“There is no way these people gave me 12 and a half years for marijuana use and a gun by a first-time offender,” he began. “I’ve never had any problems.”

He stated that his sentencing guidelines ranged from “5 to 6 1/2 years to 9 to 10 years of false upward variation,” adding, “These prosecutors and judges have a vendetta against me in my state for fighting them.”

Bankroll Freddie continued: “Every charge I beat in my case they gave me an upward variance… If that’s the case, I was simply able to copy the statement for less time, so that makes sense… The judge and prosecutors got angry because I went to trial & Clear 7 of 10 charges And I did not bow to them… This is cruel and unusual punishment. I won’t accept this. “I am going to fight for my life and for what is right.”
