Rappers Who Served Longer Sentences Than Brock Turner

The sheer injustice surrounding Brock Turner's case is mind-boggling at best.

Rappers Who Served Longer Sentences Than Brock Turner

The infamous Brock Turner, a Stanford student, who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman, only spent three months behind bars. A prosecutor rebutted that he should have spent six years, but the judge ruled he only spend six months.

A slap on the wrist if you will, for a completely heinous crime.

It's clearly no secret the criminal justice system is tragically flawed, prejudiced, utilizes white privilege – do I even need to continue?

The point is, when you consider the fact that Meek Mill, who’s been sentenced to two to four years for violating his probation from 2008 for popping wheelies on his dirt bike and getting into a fight, you can’t help but to think that the “law” isn’t a determining factor in Meek Mill’s case.

When sexual assault in California is punishable for up to at least two to four years, you know Turner had privilege on his side. But, to reveal the stupidity of this whole ordeal, here are more rappers who have served more time than Brock Turner.


Lil Wayne

In 2007, Weezy pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree. He was sentenced for up to year, but the judge reduced the sentence to eight months. Because of good behavior, he only served four months.

Gucci Mane

Our reformed Guwop was charged in federal in 2013 for two counts of possessing a firearm as a felon. He was sentenced to serve three years and three months in prison. Given his criminal background, some would say this was unexpected. But did he rape an unconscious woman? I think not. Onward.

Lil Kim

She was sentenced to serve a year and a day in federal prison, and pay a $50,000 fine for perjury because she was withholding the truth about a shooting amongst some rappers with beef in 2001. She ended up only serving 10 months.

T.I.

He was sentenced to 11 months in prison for being in possession of the drug, Ecstasy, which violated his probation.

Beanie Sigel

This rapper was sentenced to and served one year and one day of prison in 2004 for federal weapons charges.


Compared to these seemingly minute cases, Brock Turner definitely should have received more time behind bars. What he did was both disturbing and monstrous, and no one should be able to walk the streets after the crime he committed.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
