Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, co-founder of the infamous Black Mafia Family (BMF), is officially a free man, and he has President Joe Biden to thank for it! The iconic figure of hip-hop lore recently revealed the exciting news, proudly showcasing a presidential pardon bearing Biden’s signature.
On Friday, Southwest T took to social media to share the secret he had been keeping under wraps for over a week. The former president had quietly commuted his sentence, marking the end of his legal battle that began with his release in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a celebratory post, Terry couldn’t resist taking a moment to address his critics, calling out naysayers while humorously ribbing his mother for spilling the news before he had the chance. His joy was palpable as he revealed another milestone: the removal of the ankle monitor he’d been required to wear for the past four years.
Terry and his older brother, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, were originally sentenced to 30 years in federal prison in 2008 on drug trafficking charges. Despite their incarceration, their legacy grew, becoming cemented in hip-hop culture through music references and the hit TV series BMF, which brought their story to life for a new generation.
This presidential pardon marks a fresh chapter for Southwest T, who now steps fully into freedom, free of restrictions, and ready to embrace his future. As fans and supporters rally behind the news, one thing is certain: the BMF legacy remains stronger than ever.
