Newly minted Ghetto God and Cleveland, Ohio rapper Q Money-real name Qamar Williams-has shared new prison photos that give a glum look into his life behind bars. The energic rapper best known for viral singles like “Neat” and “Streetz Baby,” has been in lock-up since April 2019 while awaiting trial on felony murder charges in connection to the killing of Calvin Alexander Chappell.

Q Money appeared in several videos on his social media timelines, donning prison attire and looking noticeably subdued. He made the event fairly well by talking directly to his audience, targeted mostly at youth. “There’s nothing cool about being locked up,” he said, followed by an important heads-up on the need for better choices and never heading toward those violent and criminal ways.
The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with other legal challenges, has delayed Q Money’s case from going to trial. No date has been determined for his trial.
In contrast to that, the personal message by the rapper is juxtaposed with pure images of himself in prison that have evoked some big responses via social media. Many fans reached out in support for Q Money and shared sadness for the predicament he has been placed in, even going so far as to praise him for using his negative situation as a positive message. Others have debated the severity of his alleged crime, reflecting on the broader implications of what he did.
Q Money’s story is more than a personal reflection; it takes that reflection to bigger perspectives on societal issues of crime and punishment. His speaking from behind bars, warning others, serves only to illustrate just how desperately needed are positive role models who can help the younger generation make good choices in life.
