G-Eazy recently appeared in court and pled guilty to charges of disorderly conduct. The rapper was arrested in September on two counts of assault after allegedly attacking two people outside a hotel in New York City.
He was released with a ticket to appear in court at a later date. According to TMZ, charges against the musician have now been reduced to misconduct from an initial charge of misdemeanor assault.
As per the latest developments, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has assigned the singer to a diversion program that would include three Manhattan Justice Opportunities sessions in place of sentenced prison time.
The rapper would reportedly be required to attend meetings with social workers and help lead people in need onto a positive path. G-Eazy is scheduled to appear in court in January 2022 following completion of his current program.
