Chicago rapper G Herbo was accused Tuesday, May 5 of lying to a federal agent, adding a third federal charge to an indictment that already includes allegations of fraud and identity theft.
G Herbo, whose real name is Herbert Wright III, allegedly told a federal agent in Nov. 2018 that he never knew or worked with rap-promoter Antonio Strong, who was among five people indicted with him in December, according to
ABC News.
Strong identified himself as Wright’s manager when he allegedly used stolen credit card information and IDs to pay for private jets, expensive meals and designer puppies beginning in March 2016, according to the indictment filed in the U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts.
