Rapper G. Dep, a former Sean "Puffy" Combs protégé, will spend at least 15 years behind bars after confessing to an 18-year-old murder.

G. Dep, born Trevell Coleman, was handed a minimum sentence of 15 years to life Tuesday morning for fatally shooting a Queens man during a botched robbery in 1993.
