However, Rob's success was short lived when his criminal record caught up to him and he refused to show up for his court date in 2006. He was sentenced to jail for seven years. In 2010, BET interviewed Rob just two hours after being released from incarceration. Among the topics discussed, Rob talked about producing another album of East Coast gansta rap and touring.
