EXCLUSIVE: G Herbo Affiliate Indicted After Feds Cite “Violent” Rap Videos In Criminal Complaint
Drench a.k.a. Lil Wet, a G Herbo affiliate, was busted for machine gun possession years after prosecutors dropped murder charges against him.
Drench a.k.a. Lil Wet was indicted on a federal gun charge three years after the G Herbo affiliate avoided prosecution in a quadruple murder case. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Drench was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to possession of a machine gun on February 5.
Drench, whose real name is Maurice Harris, was arrested for possessing a machine gun in January. Authorities allegedly saw the drill rapper’s attempt to dispose of the weapon while they conducted a search warrant at a Chicago apartment on January 19.
“Law enforcement observed Maurice Harris temporarily lean out of a window of the 47th Street Apartment with a firearm in his hand and then throw the same firearm onto the roof of the 47th Street Apartment,” FBI agent Derreon McElwee said. “Law enforcement recovered the firearm, which was a loaded Glock pistol that was modified to convert the firearm from a semiautomatic weapon to an automatic weapon, causing the firearm to shoot more than one shot by a single function of the trigger.”
The feds cited two music videos as additional proof linking the G Herbo affiliate to the weapon. McElwee watched the rapper’s “Death” and “Murder Man” videos, noting Drench made statements about Glock switches in both songs.
“In ‘Murder Man,’ approximately 15 seconds into the video, Harris states, “My Glock [firearm] got a switch [Glock switch] get drenched,’” McElwee said. “Approximately 21 seconds into the video, Harris further states, ‘two switch [Two firearms with Glock switches] in my hand, for my AP two opps [opposition] they dead they hate me.’ Approximately 29 seconds into the video, Harris further states, ‘got my shooter with my they gonna spray for me.’”
The criminal complaint included a screenshot from Drench’s “Murder Man” video, which showed the G Herbo collaborator with blood on his hands and face. McElwee continued to highlight gun-related lyrics when he turned his attention to the “Death” video.
“In the ‘Death’ music video, approximately 37 seconds into the video, Harris states, ‘New Glocks [firearms] on us got switches [Glock switches] turn n#### a ghosts,” the FBI agent said. “At approximately one minute and 46 seconds into the ‘Death’ video, Harris further states, ‘these Glocks [firearms] on us switches [Glock switches] … Up this b#### and spray spray.’ Based on my training and experience, when Harris stated that Glock switches ‘spray spray,’ he was indicating that Glock switches allow firearms to ‘spray’ bullets.”
Drench previously faced multiple charges for a 2017 quadruple murder. Prosecutors dropped the charges in 2020.
