Rapper Da Brat has been sentenced to three years in prison for striking a waitress with a rum bottle at Jermaine Dupri’s nightclub last year. Check out the report via Contact Music: A Superior Court Judge ruled on Friday (22Aug08) the hip-hop hitmaker – real name Shawntae Harris – will also serve seven years probation and 200 hours of community service for the incident in addition to her jail time.
Harris, 34, was involved in the altercation at a Halloween party at Studio 72 nightclub in Atlanta, Georgia, on 31 October 2007.
The pair were reported by police to have gotten into an altercation prior to the assault – resulting in the victim’s hospitalisation and permanent facial scarring.
Harris entered a guilty plea to aggravated assault in the case.According to reports, the rapper pleaded to her weeping family as she was led out of the courtroom, saying: “I love y’all.”
Harris was previously convicted in 2000 for misdemeanor reckless conduct.
Pardon my bluntness, but good for her. No one is above the law; and as someone in the limelight you’d expect her to steer clear of such nonsense. SMH…
Your thoughts?
Good! damm ass! She needs to grow the hell up!
THIS IS BECOMING A TREND FOR FEMALE RAPPERS!!! IT’S TIME TO CUT IT OUT LADIES AND REALIZE JUST CAUSE YOU HAVE A LIL BIT OF MONEY DONT MEAN U CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU LIKE..IN KIM CASE IT’S A LIL DIFFERENT
I am very glad. hope this sends a message. Try to act a lady when you are in public.
She plead guilty…she better be glad they didn’t give her ass more than that.

She needs to do more time. I wonder if Mariah is going to go visit her in the Big House..
I don’t feel sorry for her. I mean…she permanently scarred someone with a bottle. Instead of using her fist, she chose the coward way out and struck the woman behind her back. I think she is lucky she got three years. Just like Remy, celebrities are not above the law. It seems to be a trend among female rappers pretending to be hardcore when really in the end you just come out looking like a b****. Is it worth it?
They should have let ass stay in there for the full length because that was so childish and she should know better.
Good. We won’t have to see or hear her fugly ass for a while
Just another flash in pan with stoopid street skills –never shoulda been handed a career.She is where she always belonged–right where she put herself. Bye bye bye, clown!!!
DaBrat,hmm, you mean the DaFool or DaSkank.Take an ignorant fool off the street and all you get is an ignorant fool somewhere else. Just another one of a thousand notalent,noskills,rap somebody elses words street p** that thinks she is above it all. Back to food stamps baby when they cut you loose.
