12. From the mean streets of Montana

In a bid to generate some urban hiphop streed cred, a rapper based in the state of Rhode Island named himself after the state of Montana. He's put out songs titled Sell Drugz and Feds Watching, and...well, guess what?

The Source.com: Michael Persaud, aka “Montana Millz”...pleaded guilty...to...distribution of fentanyl...possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl, and distribution of heroin...(He) was sentenced...to three years in federal prison...

Police had been watching Persaud for several months...They had not known of his stage name or drug-referencing songs prior to the case...

Persaud’s lawyers cited his music career as evidence of his work ethic...“(He) has shown an ability and a proclivity to work at legitimate jobs throughout his life and knows the value of hard work and self-sufficiency,” (they) wrote...

Newsflash, lawyers: While it does require "hard work and self-sufficiency," using legally earned income to cover up, transport, and avoid taxes on ILLEGALLY earned income is NOT a "legitimate job!"

P.S. Only THREE years? For dealing in HEROIN? AND fentanyl? Maximum? FEDERALLY? That suggests that Mr. Millz can "sing" as well as rap -- NOT the best kind of reputation to bring into a cell block...
