"No Socks" rapper Paper Lovee, whose real name is Ibnisa Durr, is headed to federal prison.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boule handed the Atlanta-based artist a sentence of seven years and four months, followed by three years of supervised release.
According to court documents, investigators with the Atlanta Police Department identified Durr as the suspect in a shooting on May 30, 2021, and issued a warrant for his arrest.

According to the release, Durr crashed into two police vehicles and hid an uninvolved motorist's vehicle as well, before ditching his vehicle on foot. Durr attempted to throw a bag containing a loaded firearm over a nearby guardrail while on foot. The firearm was recovered by officers on the scene.
"Durr has a serious criminal history, which includes robbery and aggravated assault convictions," said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. "His reckless conduct seriously endangered the lives of innocent motorists and officers. However, the coordinated efforts of multiple law enforcement agencies led to Durr's capture, and subsequent sentence."
Best known for his 2018 song "No Socks," featuring Lil Baby, Durr was previously signed to 300 Entertainment — whose roster of rappers, including Young Thug and Fetty Wap, who faces a minimum of five years in prison after recently pleading guilty to a drug charge in the US, have been ensnared in legal battles in recent years.
