According to WSNV, Tafia, née Emmannual Alexis, made his first appearance in court today for using the multinational corporation’s wire transfer to steal the massive amount of cash.

He made his first court appearance on Friday to face a number of charges that include complicated fraudulent transfer of money, grand theft, and possession of a firearm. The 31-year-old has previously had run-ins with the law.

Tafia served a seven-year prison sentence for a 2008 robbery charge he caught when he was just 18. He strengthened his skills while behind bars and joined the rap game shortly after his release, experiencing success with his memorable singles “Uber Me” and “Ran Thru.”
