He initially tried to run away from officers, which caused suspicion and resulted in a struggle between both sides.
The rapper was arrested after that incident, and it was in the search conducted shortly after where officers found a blade on him, for which he was subsequently taken into custody.
In a hearing on Monday, 14th July, the ‘Teddy Bruckshot’ rapper pleaded guilty to both charges brought against him, including possession of a knife and resisting arrest.
So, how long has he been jailed for?

Loski pleaded guilty and has been sent to prison, with the sentencing hearing seeing the star jailed for 8 months.
He had been jailed prior, back in 2023, for possession of a firearm, which he had been let out on probation for in 2024.
Because of this latest offence, he was found to be in breach of his probation, which would have had an impact on his hearing.
The Thames Valley Police released a statement in which they said: “We will never tolerate anybody carrying dangerous weapons in our community and will seek to bring to justice those that do so.”
The Sergeant, Ed Crofts, said: “I am pleased he is back behind bars where he belongs.”
Fans are flooding his Instagram comments.
One fan said: “If you drop 2 songs while ur locked up, then you’ll still have your motion when you come back home. Don’t go inactive on us again bro.”
Loski’s team is yet to release a statement.
