Over six years later, Bobby Shmurda celebrated his homecoming today. The Brooklyn rapper was released from prison, according to TMZ.

Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, walked out of New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility 10 months early after the prison’s Time Allowance Committee decided to grant him a conditional release for good behaviour.

In October 2016, the 26-year-old was sentenced to six to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy and weapons possession in connection to his leading role in the GS9 gang. He received credit for around two years of time served before the sentence. Back in September, he was denied parole for 11 violations, including allegedly having a shank, drug possession, and fighting.

He will be under parole supervision for the next five years until Feb. 23, 2026.
