According to MassLive, G Herbo, born Herbert Wright, pled not guilty to charges of lying to federal agents about his alleged involvement in identity fraud.
The hearing took place on Tuesday (May 25) via Zoom, with Herbo appearing on video Los Angeles video and speaking to the U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts. G Herbo's attorney, Jim Lawson, told U.S. District Judge Mark G. Mastroianni that his client is well aware of the charges being wagered against him. Lawson stated, "Mr. Wright is an intelligent man; he understands the concept."
The charges stem from G Herbo allegedly telling a federal agent he had no relationship with Antonio "T-Glo" Strong, a rap promoter that prosecutors allege to be the ringleader of the scam. Prosecutors allege that Strong provided G Herbo with private jets, exotic sports car rentals, pets, and other luxury accommodations obtained via an identity fraud scam since 2016.
G Herbo addressed the charges on his recent single "Statement," where he raps, "Let’s talk about this paper,/Let’s talk about them jets/Yeah, let’s talk about Jamaica/Ask about me, I ain’t never been a fraud/I went hard from the start/In my city, I’m a God muthaf**ka/If you know, you know/Never been no phony though."
