Career

Arrington took up classical piano lessons at a young age. After graduating from college, he started the record label Focus Music Entertainment.[2]

In August 2017, BET released music video "Get to the Money".[3] He released the single "Dance with Me", which was produced by J. Oliver, featuring Raeliss.[4]

In June 2019, federal prosecutors announced Arrington had been indicted on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. They alleged he used his employer-issued credit card to make $4.1 million in unauthorized purchases. Much of that money, prosecutors say, was spent promoting his music venture, including buying likes and shares on social media, inflating his play counts on streaming platforms and paying for billboard space.[5]

In February 2020, Arrington pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He faces up to 20 years in prison.[6]
