Back in 2021, 42 Dugg led law enforcement on a manhunt for months after not showing up to turn himself in to a prison in West Virginia.
He ended up being arrested after getting off a plane in May 2022.
The We Paid hitmaker was eventually sentenced to one year in prison.
42 Dugg seemingly hated his experience in prison as he took to social media numerous times to complain about the conditions including not having enough hot water, microwave, and other amenities.
He even claimed that he was being held illegally past his court date and even accused US Marshals of playing mind games with him.
Yo Gotti even did all that he could to get the rapper out as he offered $2million to any attorney who would be able to get the sentence shortened. However it remains unclear if it actually worked.
TMZ reported on Tuesday that after the welcome home 42 Dugg quickly got food with his nearest and dearest before heading straight to the studio.
