JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A jury has found Jacksonville rapper, Tyler Jackson, or ‘Y&R Mookey’, guilty of ‘possession of a firearm by a convicted felon’.

The conviction stems from 2019 when the Jacksonville Sheriff’s office and the State Attorney’s office completed ‘Operation Rap Up’, a campaign that looked at social media and Youtube videos to find convicted felons showing off guns and other weapons.

Diane Watts stood in court while a jury handed down a guilty verdict for her son Tyler Jackson.

"It's sad the way that they did my son, and it hurts as a parent," said Diane Watts, mother of Jackson.

Watts claims her son has no gang affiliation and as far as the gun Jackson is seen holding in a music video made back in 2018,

"Those are prop guns, I know my son I know, I don’t care. How ca you judge a person by their past? People have a tendency to change," Watts said.

His defense agrees, and said prosecution failed to prove with reasonable doubt the weapon was real.

"He said 100% it was a real firearm but he was unable to tell us where the serial number of the firing pin was. My client's just a young kid who is trying to pull himself up," Kevin Raudt, Jackson's Defense attorney, said.

The music video was showed in court Friday. You can see a then 20 year-old Jackson holding what the state prosecution argued was a modified Ak-47 style weapon.

The state relied on pictures from the video, and testimony from who they call a gun expert to make this point.

"Here he was absolutely confident that this was a real firearm that meets the definition of Florida statues and it's because not only the quality of the video, it's because of this specific time of firearms," said Leah Owens, Asst. State Attorney.

Ultimately, after nearly 3 hours of deliberation, the jury found Jackson guilty. Jackson is in custody, held without bond, awaiting sentencing. He is schduled to be back in court March 14 to set a day for sentencing. Jackson could face up to 30 years in state prison.

Got damn these nikkas is dumb. Its 2022 and you still got dummys posting all these guns in they video :snoop:
This is the first time I know of someone getting convicted for a gun in a video.

Jax dudes been waving guns in videos for like a decade. Law enforcement always said they can’t bring charges because there’s no way to prove it’s a real gun if they claim it’s a prop.

This time they did charge and convinced a jury he was guilty. 15-30 years for a gun in a video is insane though.

Convicted felon. It’s fairly easy to become a felon especially taking a plea deal to escape jail time real early in life. Dude was a felon before the age of 20. Think about that.

That’s a way to argue it but what do you do if the state asks for a receipt for the prop gun? There should be a paper trail or call the prop master as a witness to corroborate that it was indeed a prop

You’re taking this way too seriously.

He’s just an interesting character to me and I live in the same city. :manny:

He comes from a Mafia family. His grandma is Robin Columbo, famous from the McMillions documentary on HBO.





He grew up in the hood and somehow ends up being a rapper and a member of a Black gang and is the only white guy that’s knee deep in the violent Jacksonville drill rap-related beef.



Nah yr got another white boy too, greendottem, he be wit fazoo and three alot. And yeah, i think his mom is estranged from the rest of them.
