Lil Twist was sentenced to one year in Los Angeles county jail on Wednesday.

The good friend of Justin Bieber was accused of breaking into Dancing With The Stars vet Kyle Massey's apartment then beating up and robbing the actor's 26-year-old brother Chris - who is a former Nickelodeon star - in November 2014.

TMZ reported Thursday the 23-year-old rapper pled no contest to six charges, which kept him from getting a much longer sentence. He could have been given nearly 10 years behind bars.

Twist turned himself into authorities in September after not showing up for court appearances. 

The star - whose real name is Christopher Lynn Moore - could be out of jail as early as August for good behavior, it was noted.

The Texas native has to turn himself in by February 3, 2017.

The attack on Chris was described as 'brutal.' The star was beaten and his Rolex was stolen. 

Twist was charged with making criminal threats, burglary, grand theft, battery and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, TMZ reported earlier this year. 

The hitmaker and his friends were allegedly at Kyle's home when an argument is said to have broken out.

Kyle not only competed on Dancing With The Stars but was also on That's So Raven and Cory In The House.

The group allegedly left but then returned and broke into the home, before beating Chris - who worked with Jamie Lynn Spears on Zoey 101 - with brass knuckles.

They are then alleged to have pulled Chris' pants down before stealing his wallet and cell phone.

The actor required medical treatment for his injuries. 

Lil Twist used to be a close friend of Bieber's, with the pair living at the same home for some time.

However, they are less frequently seen together and it was reported that Bieber's management had ruled Twist was too much of a bad influence to hang out with the Sorry pop star.

Twist caused up to $10,000 worth of damage to one of the singer's cars when speeding out of a Four Seasons parking lot in 2013.

Shortly after, he was pulled over for speeding and a paparazzo was killed by oncoming traffic while trying to photograph the car.

In March 2013, Bieber loaned a car to Twist, who went on to crash it into a pole outside a liquor store in San Fernando Valley. 

Four months later Twist was arrested for DUI in Calabasas. He was driving Bieber's Fisker Karma and was alleged to be going between 60 and 70 mph in a 30 mph zone.
