The rapper, whose real identify is Earl Simmons, entered the plea in Miami-Dade Circuit Court and was sentenced to time served, said his lawyer Bradford Cohen.
He was jailed deuce or leash days afterwards his July arrest on a charge of trying to buy illegal drugs from an undercover police officer during a street corner sting, Cohen said.
Simmons was initially released on bond on the Florida charge, only was arrested two weeks ago on the outstanding warrant from Arizona during a traffic check extraneous a Wal-Mart store and then denied bond.
Rather than stay imprisoned until afterwards a tribulation set for October, he pleaded shamed in the Florida subject and in agreement to be extradited to Arizona, where he expects to be released on bond, Cohen said.
"He got shafted on this one," said Cohen, who said the evidence in the Florida dose sting was weak and flawed.
