Da Brat has just been disposed one helluva spanking.
An Atlanta judge today sentenced the Unrestricted rapper to 3 years in prison for bashing a woman with a rummy bottle at a Halloween party final year.
DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gail Flake too slapped the 34-year-old knocker, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, with seven years' probation and cc hours of community military service for the Oct. 31 incident, which occurred at mentor Jermaine Dupri's Studio 72 night club in Tucker, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta.
The hip-hopster and the victim, a waitress at the nightclub, apparently had an existing beef which boiled o'er. Police were called in after Da Brat was accused of slashing the employee's face with the glass bottle, sending her to the hospital.
Da Brat pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault in the hopes of winning a light sentence or avoiding jail time altogether.
But the judge wasn't in a forgiving climate, noting that the victim suffered permanent facial scars.
The rapper and a half dozen family members all stony-broke down later on hearing the sentence.
"I love y'all," she said to her relatives as a deputy hauled her away, per the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
"We love you too," came the family reply.
Aside from the rum punch, Da Brat's strike sheet includes a pistol-whipping incident that earned her a year's probation and lots of community service, as well as pay a $1,000 fine.
