AceShowbiz - 42 Dugg has found his freedom back. The "Maybach" spitter, who had spent 17 months behind bars for gun possession, was finally let go from jail and he was greeted by Yo Gotti outside the Georgia prison.
Aside from the CMG Records boss, 42 Dugg was greeted by his family and friends on Monday, October 16. According to TMZ, the 28-year-old emcee directly headed to the studio that day.
Yo Gotti has been so supportive of 42 Dugg. Back in May, the "Rake It Up" rhymer declared on social media that he would give $2 million to any lawyer who could get the latter out of jail.
"I got 2 Million for any lawyer that can get Dugg out Early !!" the record executive stated on Instagram Story at the time. "Thanks what I want for my Birthday. #FreeDoggy."
42 Dugg was taken into custody in his hometown of Detroit in May 2022. According to The Detroit News, federal agents were able to intercept him as his private jet landed in Detroit following a flight from Memphis, Tennessee.
42 Dugg, best known for his collaborations with Lil Baby including "Grace" and "We Paid", was supposed to report to a West Virginia federal prison camp on April 12 of that year, but he failed to surrender in time.
While serving his time in the slammer, 42 Dugg claimed "Atlanta U.S. Marshals [were] trying to keep me from going home." He added in a May post, "I was supposed to get out October 14th of last year. They illegally held me without reasoning because they felt my federal judge in Detroit shouldn't have given me bond."
"So, alright. Now I was supposed to have court today for an old case. The U.S. Marshals then told the jail don't let me on Zoom to handle the case, so I can't possibly go to the halfway house," the then-incarcerated musician further lamented. "Bruh, these motherf**kers been sending all kind of guards to talk to me, seeing if I'mma ask for something. The crazy thing is they putting me on game, they're telling me, 'The Marshals are trying to ruin your life. They don't want you going home.' "
