A jailed murderer appeared to send Russell Brand a chilling message through Snapchat after the actor and comedian received a prison sentence of more than 10 years for rape and sexual assault. The upload was reportedly posted by Terngu Agera, who is serving life for a 2014 slaying, as reported by Page Six.
According to the US Sun, Agera posted a blurry image that appeared to have been taken from inside a jail cell. The picture included a pointed message addressed directly to the disgraced comedian following his sentencing.
“Russell Brand you naughty boy, we’ll be seeing you son,” the caption read. The unsettling wording quickly attracted attention after the post went viral across social media.
Users on X debated whether Agera had actually shared the image under his rap name, Mover. As questions emerged about how the post reached social media, one person claimed, “Everyone can get a phone in jail; it’s not hard.”

Other users criticized Agera for appearing “bored” and allegedly “drawing unnecessary attention to himself.” The public reaction also focused on the fact that Brand and Agera are not currently being held at the same jail.
One commenter noted that no plans have been announced to transfer Brand to Agera’s facility. The individual questioned the point of publicly issuing such a message when the two prisoners were not in the same location.
“Imagine publicly announcing you’re waiting for someone who isn’t even in the same prison as you, with no confirmed plans for them to be transferred there,” the person wrote. The same user added, “What exactly is he trying to achieve? … Absolutely ridiculous.”
@MusicConnoisseu Imagine publicly announcing you're waiting for someone who isn't even in the same prison as you, with no confirmed plans for them to be transferred there. What exactly is he trying to achieve apart from drawing unnecessary attention to himself? Absolutely ridiculous.

Agera previously made headlines in 2019 over his reported activities while incarcerated. He was said to have recorded a rap album containing 10 tracks with a smuggled phone while behind bars.

The album briefly streamed on Spotify before it was removed, according to the report. That earlier episode also involved Agera allegedly gaining access to a phone while serving his life sentence.
Brand’s lawyer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment about the Snapchat upload. The message surfaced as attention remained fixed on Brand’s conviction, sentence and immediate circumstances in custody.
Brand, 51, was convicted last week of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Following the conviction, he was remanded into custody and taken to HMP Wandsworth.
Page Six hears that Brand will remain at HMP Wandsworth “for a few weeks.” No plans have been announced to place him in the same facility where Agera is currently serving his sentence.

Solicitor Kally Sahota explained to Page Six that any move involving Brand will be based on “security, safety and rehabilitation needs.” The statement addressed the factors expected to determine where the comedian will eventually be held.
On Monday, Brand was sentenced to a total of 10 years and six months for his crimes. The sentence followed his conviction on the rape count and the three sexual assault counts.
A former prisoner who served time at HMP Wandsworth offered another alarming assessment of Brand’s situation. Speaking to the US Sun, the former inmate described the “Get Him to the Greek” star as a “dead man walking.”
The former prisoner also called Brand a “marked man” while discussing the risks he believed the comedian faced. “If Brand stays in Wandsworth, he’s in real trouble. He needs to survive until he’s got his permanent move,” he added.
Brand has reportedly spent his time in prison reading, meditating and praying. According to the Daily Mail, he has been doing those activities “for hours on end” while held at HMP Wandsworth after his conviction and sentencing.
