He wrote on Twitter that read “I believe if I were a little white kid, they wouldn’t have sentenced me to 55 years for a crime I was accused of having the least amount of involvement in when I was 16; they would have given me rehabilitation on the grounds that my mind wasn’t completely formed at the time. In a different tweet, he asserted that, in contrast to him and his friend and co-defendant Pimpyz, who allegedly received a 30-year prison term, one of his co-defendants, a white young girl who was 16 at the time, was given 10 years of probation.
