The famed Oakland rapper, whose real name is Phillip Beasley, pleaded guilty to arranging to buy three firearms using a woman as a straw purchaser at a Nevada gun store.
LAS VEGAS — Philthy Rich, the Oakland rapper who is also known as an anti-violence spokesman, has pleaded guilty to attempting to illegally buy guns in Nevada with the help of a straw purchaser, court records show.
Though both have entered guilty pleas to the same scheme, the proposed sentences differ — prosecutors have agreed to give Garcia “time served,” meaning she won’t serve any jail time provided she doesn’t get caught breaking the law between now and her sentencing date. Beasley’s agreement, by contrast, says prosecutors will seek a “low-end” prison term for him, with the final decision being up to a federal judge, though the U.S.
The case has been active since 2021. The charging documents stated that Garcia and Beasley went to Precision Armory in Las Vegas to buy three pistols, and that Garcia filled out forms purporting the guns were for her, while Beasley watched. Surveillance video from the store shows the two there.
