Notorious social media personality Celina Powell was sentenced to two years in prison for violating her probation. Powell, who is well known in the hip hop community for ‘clout chasing’, was arrested in 2015 for driving a getaway car in a theft.
According to prosecutors, Powell has continually violated the terms of her probation by refusing to take drug and alcohol tests. Ultimately, this resulted in her arrest last month when she failed to appear in court.
As a result, Powell will serve her sentence in a Colorado prison and will be eligible for parole in December.
In March 2021, Powell was also arrested in Miami for making an illegal turn. Though she was let off with a warning, she was taken into custody after police discovered her license was suspended. She was then charged and taken to jail.
Who is Celina Powell?
Originally from Denver, Powell rose to social media fame through her YouTube channel where she described her alleged encounters with hip hop stars. She has claimed to have slept with multiple rappers, including Snoop Dogg, Offset, Drake and Young Thug. She even admitted to falsifying a paternity test alleging that Offset had impregnated her.
In 2021, a text thread between Powell and Drake made its way online. The screenshots, shared byย No Jumper‘s Adam22, show Powell identifying herself to the rapper before being caught in a lie.
“Def never gave u my number,” Drizzy allegedly wrote. “I know who u are. I want nooooo parts.”
“Welp okay. N yes you did [give me your number]. It’s still in my DM,” Powell responded. However, “Drake” appears to send Powell a screenshot disproving her claim.
“Doesn’t look like it, lol,” he texted.
“I just wanted you to open my DMs,” Powell wrote back. “Thanks, I don’t wanna get blocked sooo I’ll exit now.”
Cardi B also came for Powell after the social media personality claimed Offset paid her $50,000 to get an abortion. The “Bodak Yellow” artist shared a screenshot of headlines where Powell supposedly admitted to lying about the pregnancy.
In a since deleted tweet, Powell wrote: “I’m getting dragged for s*** that happened two years ago both Drake and Cardi B happened two years ago…thank God he’s giving me something to laugh at instead of being sad today.”
