RAPPER Silentó will spend 30 years in prison for shooting his cousin to death in 2021.
Silentó, real name Ricky Hawk, is best known for his viral 2015 song Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).
Hawk, 27, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and concealing the death of another.
The Atlanta rapper was originally indicted on a felony charge of murder, but ended up pleading guilty to lesser charges.
Hawk shot his cousin, Frederick Rooks III, dead early on the morning of January 21, 2021.
It is still unclear what led up to the shooting.
Security camera footage from the scene shows several cars speeding away, and the footage captured at least one gunshot, cops said.
Hawk admitted to the shooting in an interview with investigators several days after it occurred, according to the DeKalb district attorney.
