Rapper Young Buck was sentenced Friday to three years in prison after being convicted of weapons charges, Nashville’s WSMV reports. He will only serve a total of 18 months.
Buck, whose real name is Darnell Brown, was found to be in possession of a .40-caliber Glock 22 and bullets following a 2010 raid of his Nashville home. As a convicted felon, Buck is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition of any kind and was charged with a total of two counts.
Buck was given an 18-month sentence on each count, which the judge ruled he will serve concurrently based on a plea agreement reached in May.
“With the judge not considering my history to subtract some time, I’m just thankful for what time I do have,” Buck said in response to the sentencing.
Buck must also stay off drugs and will be subject to court-ordered supervision for three years after his release.
Considering that a felon in possession of a firearm charge alone could have potentially carried a 10-year sentence, Buck feels positive about the time he was given.
“My pride is through the roof. My head is held high, and I’m just looking to get all this behind me,” he said.
