Rapper YFN Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, has officially been released from Fulton County Jail.
The news comes a little over a year after he pleaded guilty to a gang-related charge, cutting down his original sentence as part of a plea deal.
Why Was YFN Lucci in Jail?
Bennett was arrested in 2021 as part of a 105-count indictment involving alleged members of the Bloods gang. Prosecutors accused him and others of committing various crimes to strengthen their gang’s reputation and control over territory. One of the most serious allegations against him was his involvement in a gang-related drive-by shooting that resulted in the death of a man.
The Plea Deal That Led to His Release
- Originally faced 13 charges, including gang activity and murder.
- Pleaded guilty to one count of violating Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.
- The remaining 12 charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.
- Sentenced to 20 years, with 10 years in prison, but was given credit for time served.
- The state agreed not to oppose his parole efforts.
When Was He Released?

What’s Next for YFN Lucci?
With his release, fans are wondering what’s next for the rapper. Will he return to music? Will he address the legal troubles that have surrounded him for the past few years?
