Troy Ave, an American rapper from the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, is mostly known for his songs like “She Belongs To The Game” and “All About The Money.”
He turned himself in on February 20, 2024, to start serving his prison term for the 2016 Irving Plaza shooting.
The Brooklyn rapper and podcaster Taxstone got into a fight at a T.I. concert at NYC’s Irving Plaza, which resulted in Ave getting shot twice, after which Ave backfired at the attackers to save himself, his bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter m*rdered and two bystanders injured.
At the time, he was looking at 15 years in prison.
However, the rapper’s legal team negotiated a one-year sentence after he agreed to testify at Taxstone’s trial.
Later on August 26, 2024, the Brooklyn rapper was freed from prison after serving his entire sentence.
