G Herbo recently decided to accept the blame for the accusations of fraud. The rapper, whose net worth is $3 million, was charged along with five other people for using the identity of others and making purchases worth millions. The five people included manager Antonio Strong as well.

While such charges lead to a sentence of 20 years as per the law, Herbo is expected to be sentenced to only two or three years. A judge needs to approve the plea deal but Herbo has now decided to surrender himself.

According to the plea deal, the profits earned from the scheme were used for traveling to concerts and posting pictures and videos. These show Herbo posing in luxurious cars and a Jamaican villa.

"In addition, Wright helped Strong obtain designer puppies from a business by falsely representing to the business that Wright was the actual purchaser of the puppies and by concealing Strong's actual identity from the business," the plea continues.

Herbo's attorney is yet to issue an official statement on the plea deal.

G Herbo was arrested in 2020 on various charges

In December 2020, G Herbo's name came up in a federal fraud case. He was accused alongside his music promoter and other crew members of using stolen identities to get benefits of exotic services worth millions for around four years.

U.S. District Judge Robert Dow mentioned in his ruling that Herbo's manager Antonio Strong was the main leader of the entire fraud. Dow said that there are chances that he might escape and added that Strong says that he wouldn't do it, and that his parents are willing to take him in.

"But who is to say that in the middle of the night, when the gravity of the charges sinks in, and maybe the weight of the evidence, he will not decide to flee?" Dow added.

Herbo's management company Machine Entertainment Group said at the time that he claims to be innocent and is trying to prove the same inside the court.
