Last year, Trae Tha Truth, rapper, and local philanthropist, voluntarily surrendered to the authorities amid allegations of a physical altercation with fellow H-Town artist Z-Ro. However, nearly a year later, Tha Truth successfully completed a diversion program that ultimately led to the clearing of his name and the dismissal of the charges against him.
Trae Tha Truth, whose birth name is Frazier Thompson III, faced allegations of assaulting Z-Ro during 50 Cent’s H-Town celebrity basketball weekend. However, after turning himself into the authorities, he was promptly released. The incident stirred significant controversy within the music industry and the local community, as it involved two prominent figures from Houston’s rap scene.
Z-Ro, the other party involved in the altercation, publicly expressed his view on the matter, stating, “I’m from the streets, and jumping people ain’t no street thing unless somebody raped somebody in your family, killed one of your loved ones, or tried to kidnap your child or something…but for just outright hate, jealousy or envy? Whatever it is, I can’t tell you what the real thoughts are because I’m definitely not going to incriminate myself, and I don’t want to sound like a criminal. Right now, I’m breathing and existing in my own lane.”
Following the incident, Trae Tha Truth embarked on a path to resolve the charges against him. It is reported that he successfully completed a diversion program, which ultimately led to the dismissal of all charges.
The specifics of the program and the process that brought about this resolution have not been disclosed to the public. However, this development has allowed both artists to put the incident behind them and continue with their respective careers.
Apart from the legal matters, Trae Tha Truth has been actively involved in philanthropic activities during the holiday season. He has recently announced his commitment to providing a Thanksgiving-style meal for incarcerated men and women in the Harris County Jail.
This initiative underscores his dedication to giving back to the community and making a positive impact on the lives of those in need, despite the challenges he faced in the past year.
