While the show was filled with non-stop drama as usual, the most emotional moment in the latest episode of "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" was when Scrapp DeLeon was sentenced and was led away to immediately begin his 5-year prison stint.

In the episode, Scrapp's family was with him as the judge handed down a 20-year sentence for the crime of trafficking marijuana. Scrapp will be spending five out of those 20 years in jail. He will also spend 15 years on probation and will have to pay a $100,000 fine. The whole process was featured on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta," even the part where Scrapp was led away in handcuffs to begin serving his sentence.

But while Scrapp may already be locked behind bars, the rapper is still working on his music career. He recently released a new track called "Hustlaz Ambition," proving that prison won't stop him from sharing his music.

In a video message posted by theJasmineBRAND on Twitter, Scrapp thanked his fans for their support and asked them to be patient because he hasn't had time to respond to every call, letter, and email.

In an interview with VH1, Sas, Scrapp's younger brother and fellow rapper, revealed some details about his brother's condition and where he is being housed. He also spoke about his life away from Scrapp and about being a surrogate father to King, his brother's young son.

"I tell him all the time, 'you know your daddy love you,'" he said. "'You know he can't wait to see you,' just so he don't feel like it's a choice that Scrapp made to be away. I don't want my nephew to ever feel like that or think like that. I think that growing up, I felt like that about my Pops at one point in time, like, 'Damn why he ain't around?'"

Sas also told VH1 that Scrapp is famous among his fellow prison inmates and that his popularity could become a problem. This is why the rapper and "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" cast member is serving his sentence at a maximum security prison.

In the next episode of "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" season 5, J-Nicks has his buddies over for a fun poker night, which becomes tension-filled when his girlfriend Amber gets too touchy feely with Yung Joc.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on VH1.
