The rapper has revealed how he felt about the sentence he received for a 1993 murder.
The former Bad Boy MC confessed to a murder, which took place in the early 90s during a robbery attempt.
Speaking after being given a 15 year sentence, G. Dep said that there was also a sense of relief in being given time.
“I was happy,” he said. “It sounds crazy to say you were happy about getting a fifteen-to-life sentence, but I was. It just seemed to me like the end of a nightmare. I was living in 1993 for seventeen years…It wasn’t something I was going through periodically; it was something that was like a knot at all times. Sometimes I didn’t even want to walk with my head up. I just wanted to look down. If I stood up, I felt funny, like, ‘Who am I to be looking up?’?”
He added, “I don’t know how me being incarcerated — I can’t measure how much it makes anything any better. But I just know what I had to do.”
