Rap star Da Brat has been sentenced to three years in prison, with seven years probation and 200 hours of community service, for striking a woman with a rum bottle at an Atlanta nightclub last year. She must also undergo substance abuse treatment, a mental evaluation, and attend anger management classes.
The incident happened on Halloween at Studio 72. The witness, a waitress at the club, suffered permanent facial scarring from the altercation. Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, stood as family members wept as she was taken into custody on Friday. Brat pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, and as she was led out the courtroom she calmly looked over at relatives and said, "I love y'all."
Da Brat's 1994 album, Funkdafied was the first album to go platinum by a female. Her most recent claim to fame is as a contest on The Surreal Life and The Celebrity Fit Club.
