Da Brat Completes Prison Bid

Da Brat is a free woman. The 36-year-old rapper has been released from prison after serving a three-year bid, stemming from an incident where she struck a woman over the head with a rum bottle in an Atlanta club in 2007. Though she got a taste of freedom over the past year while participating in a work-release program, Da Brat has completed her sentence according to her associate Jermaine Dupri.

"Happy day for me and all SO SO DEF fans, Da BRAT is finally home," tweeted JD, who has worked with the Chi-town rapstress since the release of her debut 'Funkdafied' in 1994.

Brat's sentence stems from an altercation at Studio 72's Halloween party in 2007, where she got into a verbal argument with the hostess. While the hostess was talking with the manager, Brat crept up behind her and clocked her with the bottle. After pleading guilty to aggravated assault charges, she was sentenced to three years in prison as well as seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service.

Last May, she was released from prison on a temporary basis where she worked a 9-to-5 as a window maker. "If ya'll need a window, holla at ya girl," she joked at the time. "I'm doing my thing. When I come back I'm going to be making windows, movies, music, TV shows. Anything I can get my hands on."

@dethburger My Point my friend is We Are Not Perfect. She may be a hater i don't know but she paid her debt to society and the justice system, and no one died from her heinous act. As far as Superstitions read the number one book in the world it's in their about being judged, and the funny part you know it's there. Booya!!!

Typical behavior from a rap "artist." How is anyone shocked? Hope she has a business manager that knows how to run a window shop.

Wow, what a bunch of mean ignorant people here. I, for one, am not a fan of Da Brat, however, getting 3 years for hitting someone on the head with a bottle is a lot of time. Who the hell was her attorney? He got her a bad deal. Anyway, I hope she learned from this and stays out of trouble, and knows how to control her anger/temper now and doesn't hit people when they piss her off. I have know people who are white who have done a lot worse than she did and not even serve any time since they had the right attorney and did other programs like anger management and/or rehab.

Art comes in many forms. What works for some, may not work for others. It is all a matter of opinion. I am not a huge rap fan but I used to like her back in the day. I used to think she was pretty too. I didnt even realize she was in jail. I hope things go well for her.
