Rapper who used US Capitol riot as album artwork set for longer jail sentence
WUSA9 reports, Antionne ‘Bugzie The Don’ Brodnax pled guilty in October to four counts including unlawful entry and disorderly conduct.According to court documents seen by the Washington Post, Brodnax admitted to law enforcement officers that he was present inside the Capitol on January 6, but purely to take photos and videos for a music video he was already in Washington, D.C. to shoot.He was then arrested on March 11 after authorities were alerted to the artwork for his album ‘The Capital’, which sees him sat on a truck in front of the Capitol building as the riots unfolded.As reported on Twitter by WUSA9‘s Jordan Fischer this week (February 7), the DOJ wants Brodnax to serve 21 months behind bars, owing to his previous criminal history and because he was on probation at the time of the January 6 riots.DOJ, asking for 21 months for Antionne "Bugzie the Don" Brodnax, says the sentence is warranted by his extensive criminal history.
