According to Greenville Online, Foogiano was charged on federal firearms charges following an incident in South Carolina on July 5, 2020.
Following a concert at Greenville County’s Lavish Lounge, where a mass shooting occurred, the Georgia rapper — real name Kwame Brown — is facing two counts of illegal possession of a pistol by a felon. Foogiano was found with a Glock 40 caliber pistol and ammo, although investigators claim he didn’t fire any guns.
Gucci Mane’s signee was arrested and arraigned in U.S. District Court on Friday (December 10), with records unsealed on Monday (December 13).
Gunfire
erupted at the performance Foogiano was performing, killing two people and injuring ten more. It was one of the county’s worst shootings in recent memory. People ranging in age from 21 to 51 were shot, with Mykala Bell, 23, and Clarence Sterling Johnson Jr., 51, being killed.
According to Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis, the perpetrators were suspected to be members of Foogiano’s “entourage.” Days after the incident, Jarquez Kezavion was arrested and charged with murder, while others suspected of being involved were still being pursued.
Foogiano was jailed in Tennessee earlier this year for violating his probation. After seeking to be returned to Georgia state custody, he is presently awaiting a judge’s ruling.
In October, Foogiano proposed to his lover Renni Rucci from behind bars. He expressed his gratitude for her holding him down on Instagram the following month.
“Everyone left but you , you don’t get the praise you deserve !” he wrote. “Not even from me . I love you more than I know how to explain .
