Da Band’s Dylan faces prison.
Felon and Da Band member Dylan John is now “facing incarceration,” according to his attorney. The Making the Band 2 star is presently living in P. Diddy’s house with the rest of the cast, but “missed six meetings with his probation officer,” the New York Daily News reports. He “is facing seven years in prison if his probation is revoked at a Jan. 12 hearing.”
