Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are among 32 alleged gang members who were charged in Brooklyn, N.Y. with over 140 counts including conspiracy to commit murder.
In May of 2023, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office released a substantial 140-count indictment, which accused Sheff G and 31 others, including fellow rapper Sleepy Hallow, of perpetrating a series of criminal acts throughout Brooklyn.
Prosecutors believe the men are members of the 8 Trey Crips gang and its affiliate, the 9 Ways gang, and have charged them with 12 shootings that involve 13 victims, including one fatality and three innocent bystanders. Sheff and Sleepy, among others, are accused of “committing shootings, possessing guns, and using stolen cars during shootings, to eliminate rivals that included members of Folk Nation Gangster Disciples and ICG Babiiez.”
Sheff G has specifically been accused of using “the earnings from his music career to fuel gun violence in Brooklyn, by offering money and giving expensive jewelry to those who commit acts of violence.” the 25-year-old rapper is also accused of hosting a “lavish” dinner for other gang members in celebration of the killing of one of their rivals in 2020.
Although Sheff G has been incarcerated since 2023, his vocals appear on Fivio Foreign’s latest single “Waiting” from his Pain & Love 2 mixtape.
