G Herbo Charged With Lying to Federal Agent in Fraud Case
G Herbo’s legal drama continues.
On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts filed another charge against the rapper, born Herbert Wright III, for lying about his connection to one of his co-defendants in their ongoing fraud case while speaking to a federal agent.
“Herbert Wright III, a/k/a ‘Herb,’ ‘Lil Herb,’ ‘G Herbo,’ and ‘Herbert Light,’ knowingly and willfully made the following materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations in a matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the Government of the United States, that is, during a voluntary interview with a special agent of the United States Secret Service and a special agent of the (FBI),” the documents read.
Authorities are accusing Herbo of lying about his relationship with Antonio Strong, who is allegedly the rapper’s friend and business associate. The prosecution claims that Herb told a federal agent he never gave Strong money or received anything of value from his co-defendant as well as denying a direct connection to Strong.
