Czar Entertainment CEO Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond was sentenced Tuesday (June 6) to three years of unsupervised probation and fined $2,500 for his role in an incident involving a Washington disc jockey.
Several of Rosemond's supporters, including his business partner Bryce Wilson, Queen Latifah, Flavor Unit's Shakim Compere, Czar Entertainment staff, close friends, and family, were present as the decision was handed down.
The judgment marks the latest chapter in months of litigation concerning the case.
"The judge's decision to place Mr. Rosemond on unsupervised probation was in recognition that he is and continues to be a positive influence within the community," said Rosemond's attorneys Scott Srebnick and William Brennan. "We are thankful that the judge saw this case for what it was."
Rosemond, who manages rapper the Game, was found guilty earlier this year of beating 93.9 WKYS-FM on-air personality Xzulu "The Big Lipped Bandit" during an appearance with the Compton MC in Lanham, Md.
According to reports, the incident was sparked when Xzulu allegedly made an off-color remark about Henchmen's cell phone headset during an interview to promote Game's debut album The Documentary.
Police said a group of men, including Game, confronted Xzulu shortly after the interview and kicked and beat him. The DJ was later taken to an area hospital with serious internal injuries.
Although Game was formally charged with assault and battery, charges were later dropped against the lyricist, but not Rosemond, who was sought on misdemeanor assault charges.
