DETROIT (FOX 2) - A Detroit rapper's role in a $27 million tax counterfeit scheme landed her a prison sentence.

Sameerah Marrell, also celebrated as Sameerah Anderson, Sameerah Pickett, Crème, and Loren Boyd, was sentenced to 4 ½ ages in prison and three years of supervised release. The 42-year-old must also pay the previous restitution – $7,979,041.71.

According to federal authorities, Marrell had successfully stolen $8.5 million, and the amount owed in restitution has been reduced by cash, cars, and jewelry seized by the federal government and the countries from Marrell during the course of this investigation.

Between 2014 and April 2022, Marrell worked with others to file 122 spurious income tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service and Minnesota, Georgia, Maryland, Arizona, Connecticut, and Colorado state treasuries. They sought more than $13,690,341 from the IRS and $14,730,365 from the states.

Marrell committed some of these offenses once she was arrested on a criminal complaint charging her with, by other things, making false claims to the IRS, authorities said.

Once Marrell, who was a member of female rap group "Deuces Wild," was charged, she fled the state. She was caught in December 2022.

She pleaded guilty to mail counterfeit, wire fraud, and committing an offense while on bond.

"Ms. Marrell committed an astonishing amount of fraud against federal and region agencies. She also proved herself incorrigible, continuing her scams even once her initial arrest. We hope that today's sentence will determine both Ms. Marrell and anyone else who seeks to acquire public funds for private gain," said Charles Miller, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation, Detroit Field Office.
