Hip Hop producer Mally Mall was sentenced to 33 months in prison for owning and running a prostitution business.
The producer received his sentence in a Las Vegas federal courtroom on Thursday after court documents claimed he disguised his prostitution business with several escort businesses for 12 years. Once the FBI started investigating Mally Mall in 2014, they found he "persuaded, induced, enticed and caused" hundreds of women to engage in prostitution nationally.
Despite producing for major artists such as Snoop Dogg and Chris Brown, Mally Mall reportedly earned millions from his prostitution business. According to law enforcement, he advertised on Backpage and Eros and used his personal credit card to cover expenses.
The women were provided housing and use of the producer's high-end vehicles in exchange for giving him most of their earnings. Court documents claim women who were considered "independent contractors" were allowed to keep half of what they earned. However, "priority girls" would earn $1,000 to $10,000 a day but only keep $100.
Authorities also accused Mally Mall of leading the women to believe he would marry them or offer them career opportunities. The women were not allowed to date and were pressured into getting tattoos of him in order to show their loyalty.
In 2019, Mally Mall took a plea deal in the case and pleaded guilty to one count of use of an interstate facility in aid of unlawful activity. Due to the agreement, he was facing between one and 33 months in prison.
