Juelz Santana Begins 27-Month Prison Sentence

Despite attempts to delay the inevitable, Juelz Santana is now officially in prison.

The Federal Bureau of Prison’s website shows that the rapper, whose real name is LaRon James, is now an inmate at Petersburg Medium Federal Corrections Institution in Hopewell, Va.

The “Love and Hip Hop” star, 37, was arrested last March after security at Newark Liberty International Airport found a loaded gun and oxycodone pills in his carry-on luggage. He originally fled the airport but turned himself in days later.

In December, the rapper was sentenced to 27 months in prison after pleading guilty to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and carrying a weapon on an aircraft.

Earlier this year, a judge delayed the rapper’s surrender date from Jan. 30 to Feb. 28 so that he could film a “Love and Hip Hop” in Georgia, according to the Blast.

In January, Santana wed his longtime girlfriend and co-star Kimbella in a private ceremony in New York.
