G59 Rapper Chetta Arrested in St. Tammany Parish on Felony Juvenile Sex Charge, Removed From Record Label’s Website

COVINGTON, La. — Louisiana rapper Joshua Joseph Marchetta, better known by his stage name Chetta, was arrested in St. Tammany Parish on a felony charge of carnal knowledge of a juvenile, sparking controversy surrounding his association with G59 Records, the record label founded by the popular hip-hop duo $uicideboy$.

Marchetta, 36, was arrested by the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office on October 14, 2026.

During a court hearing that same day, Marchetta appeared before Commissioner James G. Burke III, who set his bond at $30,000 and imposed strict conditions prohibiting him from contacting minors, the alleged victim, or any witnesses involved in the case.

Marchetta was also ordered to remain at least 1,500 feet away from schools, parks, and libraries.

The charge falls under Louisiana’s carnal knowledge of a juvenile statute, which addresses certain sexual offenses involving minors. Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile can carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years under Louisiana law.

G59 Records Responds to Allegations

Following the arrest, a statement attributed to G59 Records founders Scrim and Ruby circulated online, condemning the alleged misconduct.

The statement expressed that the label was deeply disturbed and disappointed by the charges against Chetta, emphasizing that G59 would not tolerate behavior that harms or endangers others.

Chetta has also been removed from the artist roster displayed on G59 Records’ official website.

The removal has fueled reports that the rapper has been dropped from the label, although formal termination of his recording contract has not been independently confirmed.

G59 Records, founded by $uicideboy$ members Ruby da Cherry and Scrim, has developed an international following and become one of the most recognizable independent labels in underground hip-hop.

Second Arrest Involving Juvenile Sex Charges

Another individual was arrested in St. Tammany Parish just nine days before Marchetta on charges involving a juvenile.

Tecia Patterson, 21, was arrested on October 5, 2026, on charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles involving sexual conduct.

The arrests have generated online speculation that the two cases may be connected. However, authorities have not publicly confirmed any connection between Marchetta and Patterson or whether their charges stem from the same incident.

Court Proceedings Continue

Marchetta’s $30,000 bond was processed following his initial court appearance, and court documents identify December 16, 2026, as a required appearance date.

His criminal case remained open as of the latest available court update.

The allegations have drawn significant attention from fans of Chetta and $uicideboy$, particularly following G59 Records’ public condemnation of the alleged misconduct and Chetta’s disappearance from its official artist roster.

Marchetta has not been convicted of the charge and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
