Jasmine Sanga is one of five people who have pleaded guilty in connection with Perry's 2023 overdose, but the only one whose plea deal included an acknowledgement of causing the troubled star's death.

During the hearing, Perry's stepfather, Keith Morrison, addressed the court and Sanga.

He called Perry a brilliant, talented man and turned to Sanga and said, I don't hate you, adding, you are a drug dealer.

Sanga also issued an apology.
