A would-be rapper has been convicted of haranguing Ashanti’s mother with a flurry of lewd text messages about the Grammy-winning R&B star.
Devar Hurd faces up to two years in jail after being found guilty Tuesday of stalking and aggravated harassment. His sentencing is set for Jan. 11 in a Manhattan court.
The singer’s mother, Tina Douglas, said the 31-year-old Hurd scared and repulsed her by sending crude messages, photos of his genitals and a picture of the family home.
The sometime model and car salesman from Griffith, Ind., said he thought the messages were welcome.
