Memphis rapper EBG Ejizzle was arrested September 11th on first degree murder charges and aggravated assault and is scheduled to appear in court this morning at 9am. This is stemming from a January 14th, 2020 offense. The last time we heard EJizzle’s name, he was shot early last year after writing a diss track against his rival Pooh Sheisty and Lil Durk and Sheisty celebrated it on social media. He shared a video from his hospital bed showing he in fact was not paralyzed.
While it isn’t clear what lead to his September 11th arrest, he was last arrested in August with 4 other people on the manufacturing or delivery of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1-B controlled substance, theft of a firearm, possession of 4 ounces or more but less than 5 pounds of marijuana and fraudulent use or possession of identifying information charges. He was also charged with evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.
During an interview with Cam Capone News in May, he talked about beating a murder charge following his 2020 arrest. He said he was facing 15-25 years and later offered 17 before the case was ultimately dropped. “I got locked up on a murder charge in 2020 and I just beat that this year though,” he said. “That was before rapping though. I made my bail before I even was rapping and shit, all this before I was rapping, I was out on bond. Shit, I ain’t gonna lie, we ain’t ever had no money problems. As soon as they gave me the bond, I made that muthafucka. I was sitting in there like a week. They gave me the bond, I think it was like $100,000-$150,000, some shit like that. I was out that muthafucka in like a week.”
He says his case was dropped because someone failed to testify in court. “They were going on some he say, she say shit,” he explained. “They just going about what a muthafucka say. Somebody told them something, but when it was time to come to court and trial and shit, he ain’t wanna take the stand and testify.
“They dropped the case, but it was a deal. At first they was trying to give me a deal for probation, but I was like, ‘Hell nah, I’m not finna take… if y’all offering me probation then y’all tryna say that I murdered a muthafucka.’ I can’t have no evidence, so I was like, ‘Hell nah.’”
He was arrested at 13 for attempted murder and received juvenile life at 16 for aggravated robbery. He seems to have been lucky as it pertains to murder charges but this isn’t his first time around this rodeo on that topic. We’ll be reporting on how this case goes from here.
