Overview

  • The Bureau of Prisons database shows the rapper, legal name Lontrell Williams, is no longer in BOP custody after a projected release previously listed for April 2026.
  • Attorney Bradford Cohen says the move reflects time served and good behavior, noting prosecutors sought a longer term but the judge’s sentence resulted in roughly three years served.
  • Williams pleaded guilty in 2022 to a firearms conspiracy tied to a 2020 Bay Harbor Islands incident and received a 63‑month sentence.
  • Videos posted to social media show a welcome‑home celebration with fellow Memphis artists BIG30 and K Carbon, as figures like Gucci Mane publicly greeted his return.
  • He remains under federal supervision in a halfway house with conditions reported to include drug testing, restrictions on controlled substances, and probation reporting.
