The rapper was recently released from prison after pleading guilty to racketeering charges. Learn more about his incarceration and the reasons behind it here.

Prosecutors argued he was the head of the operation and labeled him the “most dangerous” member of the alleged gang, claiming he shouldn’t be allowed back on the streets. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis describes this gang as violent, with a history of crimes dating back to 2012, including murder, robbery, theft, carjackings, and assaults.
