The rapper was arrested at the Rolling Loud music festival at Citi Field in October 2021, just before he was due to take the stage.
Prosecutors say he was part of a large Long Island drug ring that supplied drugs to the entire state.
The group used the US Postal Service to distribute the drugs, according to the original indictment.
