Tee Grizzley’s brother, Baby Grizzley, was just sentenced to 4 years and 9 months in federal prison for illegal gun possession

Tee Grizzley’s brother Baby Grizzley was just sentenced to 4 years and 9 months in federal prison for illegal gun possession.

Federal agents say he attempted to bribe his driver to take the fall for the weapons with an offer of $20,000 cash from the $300,000 record deal he recently just signed.

Then, Wallace and Dasgupta-Francis said they were the ones drinking, but not driving. Allegedly, the latter pulled out a partially drunk bottle of Johnnie Walker Black. After police asked all three to exit the vehicle due to “open intoxicants,” they searched the car. During the inspection, they found “two fully loaded semiautomatic pistols on the floorboard where Wallace had been seated,” and found two more near where Dasgupta-Francis sat. According to court records, Grizzley tried to bribe the driver to take the blame while the two sat in the back of a police car following the arrest.

What’s more is that he had just received $300,000 cash in advance for signing a record deal, and reportedly offered the driver $20,000 to take the hit. However, said efforts proved unsuccessful. Dasgupta-Francis faced a 45-month federal prison sentence, and both he and Grizzley also face parole violation charges. Officials arrested Wallace less than two months after he finished serving time for robbery in a state prison.

According to the Justice Department, rapper Baby Grizzley (real name Marcellus Wallace) was pulled over by Royal Oak Police on the night of December 8, 2020 along with co-defendant Nolan Dasgupta-Francis and another man due to their car’s headlights being turned off.

However, the officers asked everyone to get out of the car due to the “open intoxicants” and they proceeded to search the vehicle, at which point they found “two fully loaded semiautomatic pistols on the floorboard where Wallace had been seated.” Police then found two more semiautomatic pistols near where Dasgupta-Francis was sitting.
