Hopsin pleaded guilty Wednesday, September 7, to assaulting a woman in Sydney, Australia.
MusicFeeds reports that the 31-year old Los Angeles rapper, born Marcus Hopson, was sentenced to a two-year good behavior bond.
LegaiAid describes what a good behavior bond is and what could happen if a person violates it.
The court may place you on a good behavior bond. A good behavior bond is a promise that you will not break the law for a period of time.
You will need to sign a document called a recognizance in which you accept that you have an obligation to be of good behavior for a period of time and will list an amount of money you must pay to the court if you break the law while under the good behavior bond.
If you break the law while you are on the good behavior bond you will have to pay an amount money ordered by the court and the court may issue a warrant for you to be arrested and brought back to the court for the original offence and given a different sentence.
Hopsin was also hit with a Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), which is the U.S. equivalent of a restraining order, prohibiting from contacting the alleged victim for 12 months.
The "Ill Mind of Hopsin" rapper was originally arrested Sunday, September 4, after police responded to a disturbance call at a hotel in central Sydney.
The victim is described as a Sydney-based makeup artist. Hopsin's former girlfriend is also an Australian makeup artist, but it's not known if the incident involved her.
As we previously reported, following his arrest Hopsin posted a lengthy Instagram open letter calling his situation "bullshit" and expressed suicidal thoughts.
"I actually wanna literally die. Like literally. My funeral would be a blessing for me right now," he wrote at the time.
Earlier today, he made another Instagram post telling his fans that he was headed back to America and would have plenty to say through his music.
"I'll be releasing a new song in a few days. I'm currently writing it on my flight back home to America. I got a serious story to tell to world and I ain't holding back," he explained. "The media will sabotage the perception of any celebrity just by a title. When ur in my position, the people you loved and trusted the most will be the same ones who stab u and bring u down to your knees with no remorse...which is why I am in this situation im in right now. I've given you guys nothing but realness my whole career so don't expect anything other than that. So just to clear the air, Im still allowed into Australia and have no criminal convictions. The judge read right through the over exaggerated bullshit being thrown at me and worded it as "trivial". Ive done harm to nobody. I'm good. P.S. A nigga be feeling fresh as fuck in these suits haha."
