Johnny Abratee Hollywood, a Liberian musician and TikTok comedian known online as JHollywood, is facing potential deportation after his second felony arrest in the United States. The entertainer, who once garnered a following for his comedic skits, now finds himself entangled in a legal battle that could possibly end his stay in the country.
JHollywood’s troubles began in 2023 when he was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor, a felony under Minnesota law. Court records show the offense occurred on August 13, 2023, and he was sentenced on October 14, 2024. As part of his conditional release, he was required to register as a sex offender for life and avoid further criminal activity.
However, the 30-year-old allegedly violated his probation when he was arrested on November 5, 2024, by the Brooklyn Park Police Department for possession of a controlled substance, another felony charge. He was later released but arrested again in February 2025 by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
According to court documents, JHollywood faces multiple charges, including:
- Felony drug possession (5th degree) under Minnesota Statute 152.025.2(1).
- Misdemeanor fleeing a peace officer (609.487.6).
His conditional release was revoked and a hearing is scheduled for May 5, 2025, where a judge will determine his fate. Legal experts suggest that a guilty verdict could lead to his deportation, given his immigrant status and the severity of the charges.
The case has sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans express shock over his legal troubles, others criticize his actions, particularly the prior conviction involving a minor. Social media platforms, where JHollywood once thrived as a comedian, are now flooded with debates about accountability and the consequences of violating probation.
If convicted, JHollywood could face additional prison time before being handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation proceedings. His case serves as a stark reminder of the stringent consequences for immigrants who commit felonies in the U.S.
As the May court date approaches, all eyes are on Hennepin County to see whether the once-popular online personality will be allowed to remain in the country or be sent back to Liberia.
