Dancehall entertainer Flippa Mafia will have to wait a little longer for the next chapter in his ongoing drug case after proceedings were delayed at the request of the parties involved.
The Jamaican entertainer, whose real name is Andrew Davis, is now scheduled to return to court on September 9, when two of his co-accused are also expected to appear.
Presiding Judge Elizabeth Pascal granted the request for the delay on Friday, putting Davis on the same court calendar as co-defendants Damion Jones and Clifford Brown.
Meanwhile, the case has already taken a significant turn for a fourth defendant.
James McBride has struck a plea deal with prosecutors, admitting to one count of conspiracy to deal cocaine. Although the charge carries a maximum penalty of 40 years behind bars, McBride could face up to eight years in prison under the agreement.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 1.
For Flippa Mafia, however, the legal battle continues.
The flamboyant dancehall figure, once known for his flashy stage persona and reputation for tossing money into crowds during performances, will be back before Justice Pascal on September 9 as the case moves toward its next phase.
