Local rapper No Savage charged with robbery in Prince George’s

Noah Settles, the D.C. rapper who goes by the name No Savage, is facing robbery and assault charges in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.

County prosecutors say Settles, 26, and three other men walked into Silesia Convenience in Fort Washington and “began picking items off the shelves and counter,” according to the charging document.

“Then they all stated, ‘everything was free today,’” and told the clerk, “Don’t do anything stupid or we will shoot you,” according to a detective’s affidavit.

Court records allege that the men took cigarettes, vape pens, candy, condoms and packaged noodles.

A Metropolitan Police Department detective recognized Settles as one of the suspected robbers due in part to his “notoriety as a local rapper,” according to the affidavit.

The alleged robbery took place in January, but Settles wasn’t charged until March. He was granted home detention in May, court records show, but violated those terms in August when he cut off his ankle monitor. There is an active warrant for his arrest, according to the Prince George’s County state’s attorney’s office.

Settles’ lawyer, CT Wilson, has filed motions to suppress evidence and dismiss the case. A judge has yet to rule on those motions. Wilson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The case is set to go to trial in September.

Settles grew up in Southeast D.C. and attended Washington Metropolitan High in 2018. He dropped out to pursue a music career, according to Washington City Paper.

He has been releasing music since at least 2019 and has amassed more than 125,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. He was featured on “Playing the Fifty,” a track by Young Don that made The Banner’s list of the best local rap and R&B for the first half of 2022. Settles’ most recent single, “Anti Social,” was released in February.

Settles was previously sentenced to three years in prison for firing a gun inside Tysons Corner Center mall in northern Virginia on Father’s Day weekend in 2022. No one was shot, but three people were reportedly injured when the mall was evacuated. Settles was also sentenced to 10 years’ probation and barred from returning to the mall.

In addition to the charges in Prince George’s County, Settles is facing felony charges in D.C. related to illegal possession of a firearm. The docket in that case indicates that in December 2025, Settles was in the Psychiatric Institute of Washington and was scheduled to be transferred to an inpatient drug treatment program.
