Babs, the producer of deceased rapper Werenoi, has been sentenced to sixteen months in prison following an attack on a friend of the rapper during an encounter at a bar.
Babs, the producer of the late rapper Werenoi, was sentenced to sixteen months in prison by a Bobigny court for assaulting a friend of Werenoi during a late-night meeting at a bar. The altercation reportedly stemmed from Babs' demands for a significant sum of one million euros. The court issued an arrest warrant against Babs, who was absent during the proceedings, and noted that his legal defense was also not present.
The sentencing comes in the wake of Werenoi's tragic death at age 31 in a Paris hospital on May 17, which has led to ongoing disputes among his relatives concerning financial matters and controversies surrounding his estate. The situation has fueled tensions, and both Werenoi's mother and sister were present at previous court hearings, highlighting the familial strife following the rapper's untimely passing.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court partially revoked a previously suspended sentence that Babs was serving at the time of the offense, leading to an additional four months added to his sentence. A financial penalty of 10,000 euros was also imposed. This incident not only underscores the volatile relationships within the music community but also the broader implications of unresolved disputes in the wake of a celebrity’s death.
