Foogiano Freed: Rapper Out After 5 Years
22 Apr
Summary
- Foogiano has been released from prison after serving five years.
- He was imprisoned for melting his GPS monitor and fleeing.
- Gucci Mane recently stated he would keep only two artists, including Foogiano.
Rapper Foogiano has been released from prison, marking the end of a five-year sentence. His freedom was signaled on April 21, 2026, through social media posts from his producer and photographer, both celebrating his return. Foogiano's release signifies his departure from incarceration.
His imprisonment began in May 2021 after he was apprehended for melting off his GPS ankle monitor. This act constituted a violation of his probation stemming from a prior gun charge, leading to his capture and subsequent sentencing. The rapper's legal troubles have now concluded with his release.
Foogiano is notably one of the remaining artists on Gucci Mane's 1017 Global label. This comes after Gucci Mane announced in October 2024 his intention to trim the roster, intending to keep only Foogiano and Pooh Shiesty. Gucci Mane cited business decisions for this culling.
This development follows recent legal issues for fellow 1017 artist Pooh Shiesty, who was arrested earlier this month. Reports indicate Pooh Shiesty was involved in an incident with Gucci Mane.
