A grand jury indicted HoneyKomb Brazy and two other men, Miguel Hall and Mason Fuller, on federal gun charges in Alabama. According to Mobile’s FOX affiliate, the three defendants faced up to 15 years in prison for the charges. They are scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday (January 31).
HoneyKomb Brazy, whose real name is Nashon Jones, and his bodyguards were arrested on felon in possession of firearms charges in December 2023. Mobile County sheriff’s deputies pulled the trio’s vehicle for alleged traffic violations. Brazy was a passenger.
Authorities discovered two guns in the vehicle during the traffic stop. Hall, the driver, was wearing a bulletproof vest.
All three men were barred from possessing firearms due to past convictions. Brazy was previously convicted of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault, first-degree possession of marijuana and illegal possession of firearms.
Brazy’s lawyer Josh Briskman believed the rapper was unfairly targeted by authorities. Briskman claimed the guns did not belong to his client. Brazy allegedly did not know his bodyguards were felons.
“I think they’re ganging up on him,” he said. “I really do. I think this is a guy that a tried to do everything the right way. His management team hired the security detail.”
Briskman added, “Mr. Jones’ safety was at everybody’s forefront concern. And they tried to do this in a way where this would be outside the bounds of anything questionable. And it hasn’t worked out that way.”
Brazy was busted for felony gun possession less than a week after he avoided prosecution for indecent exposure. Last November, Brazy was arrested for indecent exposure stemming from a 2021 incident in jail.
The rapper was accused of exposing himself to a corrections officer while he was in custody. The alleged victim did not want the case to move forward, so the charge was dropped.
