Yo Gotti Greeted 42 Dugg On His First Day Out Before Heading To The Studio
Our source says 42 Dugg was greeted by Yo Gotti and his loved ones, and he apparently went straight to the studio to get back to work!
While linking up with Yo Gotti, the “4 Da Gang” rapper was sure to pose with him as they flipped the bird. Additionally, video footage showed him excitedly hurrying to his loved ones while donning a gray sweatsuit.
It’s also worth adding that, per the Federal Bureau of Prison’s inmate search, the 28-year-old star was freed on Monday (Oct. 16).
Check out the footage below.
Looking Back On The Rapper’s Incarceration Journey
The rapper’s legal situation unfolded after he failed to surrender himself and serve a 6-month sentence. As The Shade Room reported, 42 Dugg pleaded guilty in March, and a judge ultimately sentenced him to one year behind bars.
Later, 42 Dugg spoke out about his incarceration experience. He declared, “I’m in this b***h heating my food up with water from the nasty a** shower.”
Back in May, Yo Gotti took to his Instagram Story and offered a cool $2M for “any lawyer that can get Dugg out early.”
It’s unclear if Yo Gotti’s plea played a role in this recent development. However, 42 Dugg is now a free man, and Yo Gotti was there to revel in the moment!
