<p>Detroit rapper <strong>42 Dugg</strong> has been sentenced to one year after failing to report to prison, ending a case that has taken several years to adjudicate.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, a judge <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Fstory%2Fentertainment%2Fpeople%2F2023%2F04%2F26%2Fdetroit-rapper-42-dugg-sentenced-after-failing-to-surrender-in-gun-case%2F70153585007%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced Dugg</a>, whose real name is <strong>Dion Hayes</strong>, to one year behind bars, according to the <em>Detroit News</em>. The rapper <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/42-dugg-pleads-guilty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded guilty</a> to failure to surrender back in February.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old will also have to serve three years of supervised release, alongside a $20,000 fine, and refrain from using illegal drugs.</p>
<p>Additionally, 42 Dugg agreed to attend a 30-day inpatient drug treatment program upon his release next year. A 30-day outpatient program will follow this.</p>

<p>The outlet reports that the one-year term comes despite prosecutors recommending a six-month sentence. Judge William Ray II could have overruled the prosecutor&#8217;s recommendation and sentenced Dugg to up to five years in prison. However, he ultimately opted for one year behind bars for the <em>We Paid</em> rapper.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Sentencing Brings An End To Years-Long Case After Authorities Received Tip Back in 2019</h3>
<p>Back in Nov. 2019, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) got an anonymous tip stating that Dugg had been at an Atlanta gun range firing weapons.</p>
<p>As a convicted felon (for previous carjacking and firearms possession charges), Dugg is not allowed to own or fire any weapon.</p>
<p>He was ultimately arrested and charged with felony firearms possession in March 2020, as previously reported by <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/42-dugg-pleads-guilty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a>.</p>
<p>A little over a year later, the rapper and his lawyers entered plea negotiations for the firearm charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.</p>
<p>Dugg was able to circumvent jail and make off with just probation in that plea deal. But, a judge later revoked it and hit him with a six-month sentence and two years of supervised release.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Sovereign Citizen&#8221; Claim Denied By Court, Dugg Failed To Report To West Virginia Prison</h3>
<p>In April 2022, he failed to surrender and report to a West Virginia prison, forcing federal authorities to find him. Law enforcement eventually located him in May after landing at a Detroit airport.</p>
<p>Dugg first entered a not-guilty plea, claiming he was a &#8220;sovereign citizen&#8221; and didn&#8217;t have to obey federal laws, which did not work.</p>
<p>He tweeted back in March from behind bars, writing:</p>
<blockquote><p>“A lot of these n***** got get out jail free cards, I guess ’cause I’m turnt I gotta go through the worst!!!!!!” he wrote. “Death Before Dishonor, #FREEDEMBOYZ.”</p></blockquote>
