Before the end of last year, G. Dep came forward with information about a 1993 murder. Surprisingly, the former Bad Boy rapper admitted he committed the murder, himself. He confessed after getting away with the murder for seventeen years. The rapper had enjoyed world tours and hit records.

But, after holding on to that information for so long, G. Dep felt the guilt getting to him. He went to the police with the information and was taken into custody. With the trial already set up, G. Dep was brought in to make his plea. Surprisingly, the former Bad Boy rapper pleaded 'Not Guilty.'

To many people following this situation, this seems pretty strange. But, G. Dep's legal team said there was a chance that he was influenced by drugs when he committed the murder. The 'Not Guilty' plea was to give the police time to examine his confession. G. Dep said he robbed the man, John Henkel, but he was not aware that the man was suffering from gun shot wounds.

Being held without bail, G. Dep faces 25 to life in prison.
