Love & Hip-Hop star Mendeecees Harris is currently out on bond from a major drug trafficking case, and he will soon be going for sentencing. As we’ve seen on the show, he has turned his life around and is a family man with wife Yandy Smith and their children, but his past could certainly catch up with him!
According to a new report, though, Federal prosecutors are working with him, and they’ve asked the judge to go easy and sentence him with no more than 10 years. He was originally looking at upwards of 40 along with a $5 million fine, so even though it still sounds bad, it’s definitely not as bad as it could have been!
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office recommended he serves between 108 months and 121 months, noting he deserved a break because he admitted his role in the drug ring and cooperated with authorities on the terms of his plea deal. They also want him to forfeit his earnings from the show – $171k. He goes for sentencing October 2. Good luck!

Ok I understand that if you do the crime, you do the time but WHY HE GOTTA GIVE UP HIS EARNINGS? However long he’s gone for is time away from hia family and UNEARNED income. He should be able to keep that for his family
