Convicted; Attorney Says Case Was Really About Chris Brown And Lil Wayne
Harry Garcia was convicted of multiple felonies. Attorneys say government was really after Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.
The self-proclaimed “King of Lean” has been convicted of multiple felonies for illegally selling prescription cough syrup.
Producer Cuban Harry, a.k.a. Harry Garcia was found guilty of multiple felonies, after jurors deliber- ated for four hours.
The 27-year-old producer was accused of paying men to rob Walgreens and CVS stores, so he could make his own “siz- zurp,” which is a mixture of promethazine and codeine.
During the trial, Cuban Harry admitted to selling large amounts of his drugs to Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, who allegedly wired him a $15,000 payment.
Cuban Harry’s defense team argued that their client was a junkie and that the gov- ernment was really trying to build a case against Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.
Despite his argument, Cuban Harry was convicted of five felonies and now faces life in federal prison.

Future made his grand debut at this year’s annual Coachella music festival in Indio, CA. With 2 number 1 al- bums under his belt in 2017, the Atlanta rapper is making strides to becoming the poster boy for all trap stars looking to turn their street stories into pop star money.
On Saturday night (Apr 15), the chart-topping rapper turned the massive mainstage into his own digital circus. Two jumbotrons flashed complete
with distorted images of the Billboard cover star and spe- cial effects you might see in the Matrix. But flashing lights and all, it was strictly about Fu- ture when DJ Esco dropped “Rent Money” from his self ti- tled album. The clarity in the ATL don’s voice echoed beau- tifully across the crowd of over 50,00 attendees as Hendrixx went into a meticulously or- chestrated barrage of club- hits-turned-festival-bangers.
