In 2018, Ware was sentenced to two years in prison for intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance, which is a first-degree felony.

On April 19, 2021, Ware was charged for speeding in Texas and got into more trouble once his car was searched. Police found cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and a Xanax pill in his car, as well as a loaded AK-47 and 9mm Pistol.
