SleazyWorld Go has been convicted in federal court of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On March 13, a jury returned a mixed verdict in the Kansas City rapper’s case. According to court documents obtained by XXL, they found Slitz, born Joseph Isaacs, not guilty of possessing a machine gun, but guilty of knowingly possessing a Romarm/Cugir 7.62x39mm pistol.
The case stems from SleazyWorld Go, who is banned from possessing firearms due to a robbery he committed in Michigan in 2016, but was spotted on social media in possession of a firearm. The investigation began in 2022, and police found more than 30 posts over two years showing Sleazy holding a gun.
He was arrested in October 2022 after agents tracked him to a townhouse in Kansas City and witnessed him holding a black handgun through binoculars. When police arrived at the scene, they found four guns in the car next to Slitz.
Following the verdict, Sleazy’s management sent the following statement to local news station KCTV5: “Mr. Isaac respected the jury’s time and the court process. While he was found not guilty on several serious charges, there was still one count that his legal team will address through post-trial motions. Otherwise, he remains focused on his family, his business, and continuing to give back to the community.”
Sleazy is scheduled to be sentenced on June 30. His charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.
