Winfrey will be spending 10 years in prison, and will have 10 years probation after he is released. He plead guilty to the shooting and reached a plea deal with prosecutors. Luckily no one was injured in the incident. So far, Winfrey has been the only one charged in the shooting that happened earlier this year. Rapper, and label CEO, Birdman and rapper Young Thug were mentioned in connection to the shooting, but haven't been punished. Birdman has denied having involvment in the shooting, even though he has a very ugly beef with Wayne and his over the Cash Money label.

Wayne and Birdman split, and then Wayne sued the label for $51 million back in January.
Back in July, prosecutors claimed that Winfrey, who was Young Thug's tour manager opened fire on Wayne's tour buses and then tried to hide the Camaro he was driving at the time. Just before the shooting, Thug posted a video threatening Lil Wayne. Winfrey and weapons appeared in that video message. Following the shooting, Winfrey made a call on a cell phone owned by Birdman.
Winfrey's indictment ranges over 30 counts, which included: "aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm and violations of both the RICO Act and Street Gang Terrorism Prevention Act."
Police claimed that Winfrey planned the shooting to make his name notable in the streets, which is also referred to gaining "street cred."
