“If found guilty, he faces 90 years in prison,” Paul Gardner, Chopper’s attorney, said to Vibe.com. “For all intensive purposed, if he gets one-tenth of the time he’s facing, his career would be over, based on how fast the music industry is moving these days.”
Chopper is being charged with two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of robbery in a general sense, two counts of 2nd degree assault, and one Theft charge.
“This is a five year-old trial that happened when he was 16 years old,” Chopper’s lawyer said. “For the state to try him now after five years, and pursue him, is completely unwarranted. It’s a case of mistaken identity. The dangerous weapon was actually a bb gun that they alleged he committed the armed robbery with.”
This news couldn’t have came at a worst time. Chopper recently signed with Cash Money Records,in an interview with MTV; Chopper says he decided which label to sign with based on one thing, who helped him when he was down and out. He explained that he felt deserted by Diddy when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans last year.
Chopper said he felt he deserved more based on what he had done for the label up to that point, including paying for his videos out-of-pocket and waiting patiently for his turn in the spotlight as a solo artist.
“Puff is a multimillionaire, I’m a thousand-naire at that time, grinding,” Chopper said. “I shot the [‘I See You Lil’ Daddy’] video and the remix with Lil Wayne and Jody Breeze without him even giving me an advance check. I did that thinking it was all love. [Then] Katrina hit, boom, took away my house, my mama’s house, took away a lot of stuff from my family.
“When that happened, I didn’t get no phone call [from Diddy],” Chopper continued. “He didn’t call me and say, ‘Are you all right?’ He didn’t say, ‘I got these Sean John clothes and can make sure your family at least has clothes on its back.’ He didn’t do none of that. So at the end of the day, I felt played. That’s why I wanted to disband myself from the Bad Boy situation.”

fuck diddy, he don't care bout no one, he only comes out to try to help his self
fuck didy, fuck jay-z, fuck 50 and any of these other artist that become white Americas poster childs for the hiphop game. non of these dudes do shit for schools or the community. yet we buy all their records. but guys like Fat JOe and the Dipset that stay in touch with the hood, litaraly in touch to a point you can actually touch them, they cant break a few hundred thousand sales cause we cought up in these giant marketing plans we see on tv, hear on the radio and see in magazines.
I CO-SIGN THAT AND DA SAD THING 50 GOES ON DA RADIO ADMITING HE DONT DO SHIT FOR DA HOOD AND HE WONT FUCKING SAD
FUCK DIDDY & I GOT ON DAT NIGGA SHIRT RYTE NOW LMFAO
but dat shit was disloyal & fuck up fo him leavin dat man ass out & da copz I swear dey b makin up shit 2 put a nigga under
umm the reason fat joe and dipset dont sell is because their Garbage.... Pure Garbage sorry to tell you, but I do commend them they help out the communities, but then again, these same nigga's that tell you not to do drugs Glorify it in their own music, so whats on their minds?
Why is everybody so quick to say Fuck JAy? it's funny to me... Ok, we all know that Puff is noticing fro JERKIN his artists (hence the Lox).
As far as Dip Set giving back soo much... Shit, think about what they take away.
Jim Jones is a strong advocate for what gang? BLOODS... this is what all of our children are seeing... this is what they wall wanna be when they grown up now. Yall kicking in Hov's back but what is he doing wrong? Helping purify AFRICAN WATER so it can e drinkable and toxin free so they could at least bathe in it...WOW...
C'mon, yall are letting me down. Before yall kick rocks at muthafuckers... Make sure u know exactly who it is that you're kicking em at.
Once again... we all know how Diddy is...Period!
Im vouching with you again Wiz...come on we all know diddy dont give 2 shits. HOWEVER, do understand...its still business. Chopper, instead of being a jackass, going to see my nigga tunes on the west coast paying 5 and 6 grand for tattoos, getting your mouth done, jewelry and other sorts of bullshit paraphernelia, you aint save shit! Your mistake! Manage your money nigga. Puffy isnt your fucking friend. He isnt your business manager. Did I read right, someone said fuck Hov? Not doing shit for the schools or neighborhood? Last time I checked, Jay Z just did something for a FUCKING COUNTRY!!! Put up his own fucking money to build underground pipelines in Africa so they can get fresh water, and they crowned his ass king after that! BANG BANG, another Check! When the twin towers dropped, that nigga dropped much fucking doe! Them niggaz do plenty shit. I live in Miami, Fat Joe came to the Carol City and rebuilt a whole fucking facility for kids to get off the street. AND he donated 50 grand to get computers at Miami Senior High School pimp....Remember, big boys move in silence. Just because you dont hear about it, doesnt mean its not being done!
reason i say fuck Jay is cause hes another dude that is not in touch with his hood. Fact, not fiction. prove me wrong. As for what they say in their songs(dipset and Fat Joe) well your right but thats what sells today. you cant blame niggas for moving with time. if it was still hip to sing about things the Quest or the things the roots or Kwali or Common then everyone would be on the same page. but its what sells. at the same time they not saying"hey kids, go out and do this and that" as for being Garbage that your personal oppinion. I personally feel 50 is garbage himself. he recycles his rymes so much. you dudes are brain washed if you cant tell. Joe is wack cause he is Latino and the Dipset is actually the strongest of street teams now, not G-Unit. they selling more on indy then these dudes on majors. as for the things these rappers do. im am well aware of the charity Joe is involved in. as for Jay, the Towers thing and the water project he was down with was promotional bull shit. keep it real. like you said, real dudes move in silence. like my boy Joe. doing things and putting it out on radio and tv. please. you forgot he did that water project before his album dropped. he was all over the radio with that. i put that right up there with 50 getting arrested for driving having his publisher and camera crew driving in another v. besides you really think that money is from pocket? NO!!!! and when it is it a write off at the end of the yr. Keep it Real
FUCK DIDDY HE A SON OF A BITCH
WHAT UP DOE?!

For people who dont know what they are talking about Jay has done a lot of big things. It's not a competition but if that man all in Africa doing for the kids thats all that matter. If he write it off so what Oprah and everybody else does the same thing. Long as it's getting done. United States has the money but they not helping out. Somebody has to do it but nobody is obligated to do anything with their money period.Everything that anyone of them rappers do to help any community should be appreciated. Now Diddy aint shit he uses people because we all know him hisself dont have any talents besides pimping
And Diddy is good at pimpin' the public.
Choppa a real nigga and he gon be doing big things wit cash money
^^^ fa sho i got u choppa
fuk diddy, its all about 50cent and the game, a.k da don out, north east darlinton uk, its darlo baby
i feel choppa but i mean its all business at tha end of tha day......both niggas did wut they felt they had ta do.....no pissin and moanin needed
Diddy is a hoe for that he could of gave that man something all that fuckin money you got and dont want to pop it off...
Datz my nigga, I met dude and he's cool.
He made diddy look bad but as far as his career being over if he gets 1/10th of that jail time wasn't his career over when he signed with cash money. Everybody leaves there including Lil Wayne because you know dam well when his contracts up he's jumping to Roc a fella ASAP I guess Chopper will get all the attention then but still none of the money.
