\n\tDemetrius \u201cBig Meech\u201d Flenory, the convicted drug trafficker and money-laundering kingpin who was involved in the early careers of rappers Jeezy and T.I. in the 2000s via his label BMF Entertainment, has been released from prison, Billboard<\/em> has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\n\tFlenory, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2008 after being convicted on several counts of criminal conspiracy and money laundering for his involvement in the Black Mafia Family crime ring, was released from a Florida prison on Oct. 15 but must serve the remainder of his sentence (which was reduced from 360 to 292 months over the course of his imprisonment) in a halfway house. His projected release date from the halfway house is Jan. 27, 2026, after which we will be subject to supervised release.<\/p>\n

\n\tTMZ<\/a><\/em> was first to report the news.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Black Mafia Family was launched in Detroit in the mid-1980s and operated for roughly 20 years before being brought down by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 2005, when Flenory, his brother Terry Flenory and more than 100 co-conspirators were arrested and charged with a plethora of crimes. In court documents, Flenory was described as \u201ca leader of a vast, multi-state drug-trafficking operation with an extensive criminal history, including prior convictions for drug, weapons, and assault offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe gang\u2019s rise and fall has more recently been chronicled in the ongoing, 50 Cent-produced Starz series BMF, on which Flenory\u2019s son, Demetrius Flenory Jr., was cast as his father.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong those commenting on the news of Flenory\u2019s release was rapper Sexyy Red, who tweeted<\/a> Wednesday (Oct. 16), \u201cWhere da welcome home party @ I\u2019m trona perform for da freeski.\u201d The same day, Boosie Badazz also celebrated by tweeting<\/a>, \u201cWELCOME BACK #BIGMEECH #LEGEND.\u201d And on Thursday (Oct. 17), NBA superstar LeBron James tweeted<\/a>, \u201cWelcome home Big Meech!!\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
