SleazyWorld Go is officially taking a plea. The "Sleazy Flow" rapper, born Joseph R. Isaac, pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas announced Wednesday.

Per the release, the 28-year-old was barred from having guns because of a 2016 armed robbery conviction in Michigan, for which he served prison time before being paroled in 2019. Prosecutors say federal agents opened the case after seeing social media photos of him holding guns.

On Oct. 19, 2022, ATF agents reportedly followed him to a parking lot in Kansas City, Kansas, and watched him pull a firearm from his vehicle. Police later recovered a pistol from the car, and prosecutors say DNA from the gun was consistent with his. KCTV5 previously reported that investigators found more than 30 public posts showing him with firearms, according to AllHipHop.

Sentencing is set for Jan. 26, 2027. AllHipHop notes a jury had already convicted him on the felon-in-possession count in March while acquitting him on a machine gun count, and it isn't clear from the announcement what happened to that verdict before the plea. His team has not publicly commented on the plea.
