Earlier this week, Big Meech was released from prison after spending almost two decades behind bars. Reportedly, the Black Mafia Family founder will stay at a halfway house until 2026, when he'll begin serving five years of supervised release. TMZ reports that he must take part in a substance abuse program, which could potentially include drug and alcohol testing.
As expected, countless social media users have weighed in on Big Meech's release, and many are celebrating it. Sexyy Red, Rick Ross, Boosie Badazz, and more have shared positive reactions to the news in recent days. Yesterday, LeBron James even took to Twitter/X to respond. "Welcome home Big Meech!!" he wrote. This has earned the athlete some backlash, however, as some users argue that celebrating a former drug kingpin's freedom sends the wrong message.
