Emerging rapper Nino Breeze, an artist signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group, has been released from custody after facing a serious federal charge related to cannabis. The artist surrendered to authorities just days before Christmas but will now spend the holiday at home following a bond hearing.
Surrender and Federal Charges
Nino Breeze turned himself in to the United States Marshals Service on Monday, December 22. The surrender took place at the federal courthouse located in Tampa. The charge brought against him is conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute, a federal offence.
His legal representatives, attorneys Bradford Cohen and Mark Rankin, confirmed the details of his surrender and the nature of the allegation. The case is currently pending, with further legal proceedings anticipated in the coming months.
Court Hearing and Bond Conditions
Following his surrender, Breeze appeared before a judge for a bond hearing. The court agreed to release him under specific financial conditions. The rapper was required to post a $100,000 cash bond. Additionally, he had to provide another $100,000 in property as collateral.
Reports from the hearing indicate that the presiding judge acknowledged Breeze's budding career in the music industry. The judge reportedly encouraged him to continue focusing on his professional growth and development.
Christmas Release and Legal Outlook
His legal team successfully secured his release in time for the festive season. "Nino will be home for Christmas," his lawyers stated confidently. They also expressed their intention to thoroughly review the evidence presented by the prosecution and work towards resolving the matter through the trial process.
Nino Breeze is a signed artist under the Maybach Music Group label, which was founded by hip-hop mogul Rick Ross. The label released Breeze's latest EP earlier this year, marking a significant step in his career. This legal issue presents a challenge as his professional trajectory continues.
