The rapper will have to pay $156,585, some of which will be deducted from his earnings while in prison.

Shiesty’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, contested the figure, stating that the victims were armed and had arrived to sell drugs to Shiesty and his friends.

He referred to the restitution request as a “judicial shakedown” during a recent court hearing and compared the situation to Tony Montana asking the Colombians to pay him for his injuries.
