AceShowbiz - On April 21, new social media posts suggest that Foogiano might have been released from prison after serving a five-year sentence. The rapper's possible freedom was hinted at when 1017 producer SpiffoMadeIt posted a selfie with Foo on his Instagram Story, captioned No More Free Foo, indicating that the artist is no longer incarcerated.

Adding to the confirmation, Foo’s personal photographer shared an Instagram Story message reading, Stay free welcome home Foo, further alluding to his release. These posts come after Foogiano was sentenced in May 2021, following his capture due to removing his GPS ankle monitor while on probation for a gun charge.

At the time, Foo had been on the run after melting off the tracking device, which led to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment. His legal team and representatives have not yet provided an official statement, as media outlets continue to seek comments regarding the current status.

Foogiano is one of the last remaining artists signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Global label. In October 2024, Gucci Mane announced a major roster purge, deciding to retain only two acts: Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano. Gucci explained the decision saying, “I’m looking at my profit and loss statement, and me being a businessman, I think that I’m going to have to release almost all of my artists, except for Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano.”

The purge was described as an unselfish move to let other artists pursue opportunities elsewhere. However, the label’s situation remains complex, highlighted by Pooh Shiesty’s arrest earlier in April for allegedly robbing Gucci Mane and forcing him to sign a contract release at gunpoint.
