Manhattan Criminal Court judge Larry Stephen sentenced Trevor Smith, known as rapper Busta Rhymes, to three years’ supervised probation and ten days of community service in the two separate assault cases. Jennifer Kushner, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told E! News that the rapper will also have to pay a $1,250 fine besides the court costs and he must also enroll in a drunken-driving program.

Over the past year and a half, Busta faced four different offences. In August 2006 he attacked a fan, who spat on the rapper’s SUV, in December 2006 he beat up his former driver in a dispute over money and the last two were for driving with a suspended license and for DUI. Judge Stephen told Busta Rhymes that his case is very serious and that “If you mess up, you’re going to jail. I’ve given you a chance.”

In an interview for E! News, Kushner said: “There are some stipulations. He may associate with his brother, who’s a convicted felon, and he may travel for work. But he may only associate with other felons only if he’s performing with them, but he may not travel with them.”

However, the 35-year-old rapper dressed in a conservative gray suit with lavender accents, seemed extremely satisfied with the judge’s decision and he is willing to do his best in order not to do wrong again.

“I have no trouble being a good dude, because that’s what I am. I couldn’t feel better, and this couldn’t have happened at a better time. I thank the judge for giving me a chance, and I thank everybody for being supportive,” Busta told the reporters. Moreover, the “Gimme More” rapper must also surrender his license, must enroll in court-sanctioned drunken-driving education classes and must pay a $165 surcharge when he returns to court for an update on the DWI program on May 16.
