Atlanta rapper Yak Gotti, born Deamonte Kendrick, was released today from Fulton County Jail after nearly three years behind bars. Although he was acquitted in the high-profile YSL RICO case last December, he remained in custody due to a jailhouse altercation.
He pled guilty to one count of aggravated battery in that case. In exchange, all remaining charges were dropped, and he was sentenced to 12 years—with only nine months to serve. With time already served credited, he was released immediately.
Yak Gotti will be on probation, barred from promoting gangs in his music or social media, and prohibited from owning firearms. His release marks a new chapter as he looks to reunite with his daughter and return to music.
