Baby Grizzley, twin brother of Tee Grizzley, just got sentenced to four years and nine months in federal jail on convicted charges of illegal gun possession. Moreover, the case stems from a December 8, 2020 nighttime traffic stop for driving without his headlights on, according to the Justice Department. Not only that, but Royal Oaky police pulled the rapper over, real name Marcellus Wallace, along codefendant Nolan Dasgupta-Francis and another individual. Furthermore, police allegedly approached the vehicle from the driver's side and saw two red solo cups in two cup holders near the driver's seat.
Then, Wallace and Dasgupta-Francis said they were the ones drinking, but not driving. Allegedly, the latter pulled out a partially drunk bottle of Johnnie Walker Black. After police asked all three to exit the vehicle due to "open intoxicants," they searched the car. During the inspection, they found "two fully loaded semiautomatic pistols on the floorboard where Wallace had been seated," and found two more near where Dasgupta-Francis sat. According to court records, Grizzley tried to bribe the driver to take the blame while the two sat in the back of a police car following the arrest.

What's more is that he had just received $300,000 cash in advance for signing a record deal, and reportedly offered the driver $20,000 to take the hit. However, said efforts proved unsuccessful. Dasgupta-Francis faced a 45-month federal prison sentence, and both he and Grizzley also face parole violation charges. Officials arrested Wallace less than two months after he finished serving time for robbery in a state prison.
"This case demonstrates ATF’s core mission to stop violent criminals from illegally possessing firearms," Assistant Special Agent in Charge Craig Kailimai stated. "We will continue to work side by side with our local law enforcement and U.S. Attorney partners to make our communities safer.” Shortly after Baby Grizzley's arrest, his brother Tee Grizzley took to Instagram to express his heartbreak and support. "Free Bro this S**t just crushed me but ima hold this s**t down like I been doing my boy I got us @babyygrizzleytd," he wrote.
