⁠Who is HoneyKomb Brazy? Alabama rapper sentenced to 30 months over gun possession charge

Mobile rapper HoneyKomb Brazy has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison over a federal gun charge Friday.

The Alabama native, whose name is Nashon Jones, was initially cuffed on December 18, 2023, when he got pulled over by cops, and they found a Girson MC28 SA 9mm pistol and a Smith and Wesson MP 15 AR pistol inside the vehicle. At the time, the rapper was flanked by his two bodyguards, Miguel Wayne Hall and Mason Demetrius Fuller.

Everything we know about HoneyKomb Brazy's case as rapper faces 30 months behind bars

As reported by XXL Magazine, a week after his arrest, the Feds picked up the case, culminating in Brazy's indictment last January. By May, Wayne Hall had pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

While Brazy initially pleaded not guilty, he later entered a guilty plea of being a felon in possession of a lethal weapon in July 2024, forcing him to confront potentially 15 years behind bars.

As reported by Hot New Hip Hop, HoneyKomb Brazy's prison sentence has been reduced to 30 months, about two and a half years, as opposed to 15 years in prison. Fox 10 TV has reported that the Federal prosecutors and Jones’ attorney signed a deal that limited U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose's discretion on sentencing so long as she accepted the deal.

Per the outlet, DuBose said she waited to issue her ruling until she got the chance to review the defendant's background, and upon doing so, she concluded that her ruling was a “fair resolution to this case.” However, she revealed that she had qualms with Jones’ criminal record, which outlines a conviction on a first-degree assault charge involving a shooting.

During the court proceedings, the judge encouraged the rapper to use his influence for the right things. “You have such an ability to change that,” she told him:

“I wanted to be a great man,” HoneyKomb Brazy said. “I just didn’t know how. … I really want to do right.”

As for his attorney, Josh Briskman, he defended the rapper's need for security:

“There’s no doubt Mr. Jones needed security,” he said. “He has been the target of violence. His family has been the target of violence. His grandparents were actually killed. And he had people that were there to protect him, and they were hired by third parties. But it turned out they were unable to lawfully carry the firearms, also.”
