Rio Da Yung OG, the rapper from Flint, Michigan, who dropped his album City on My Back, has been sentenced to five years in prison for a charge related to an arrest in January 2019 for possessing a gun with the “intent to distribute controlled substances.” As per his Instagram story, he disclosed that he will begin serving his sentence in the summer of 2021.

Pitchfork reviewed federal court documents from Michigan that revealed Rio was named in a grand jury indictment in February 2019. The indictment charged him, along with five others, with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine base and heroin. In February 2020, he agreed to a plea deal that waived the indictment in exchange for a guilty plea. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and a 60-month prison sentence was agreed upon.

In a sentencing memorandum, it was noted that Rio had only two previous marijuana offenses and a robust employment record (working for over three years at Chrysler). It also stated that his music career was lucrative. U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider wrote, “It is not certain that [Rio’s] participation in this offense was easier or more lucrative than working for Chrysler, and whether the decision to enter into this conspiracy was driven by his familial relationship with one of the co-defendants, a desire to attain more street credibility for his nascent music career, or some other reason, it has had a negative effect on his community and on [Rio] himself.”
