Slick Rick was indicted on 2 counts of attempted murder and plead guilty to all charges which also included, assault, use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon. Russell Simmons, head of Def Jam records, bailed him out and Rick quickly recordedThe Ruler's Back before spending five years in prison.

On May 23, 2008, New York Gov. David Paterson granted Slick Rick a full and unconditional pardon on charges of attempted murder of his cousin, who was hired as his bodyguard and a bystander.
