Despite the vicious rumours circulating social media on Wednesday, YFN Lucci is “alive and well” as per a statement from his lawyer.
As TMZ has reported, “Lucci’s attorney, Drew Finding, who represented him in his RICO trial that resulted in his 10-year prison sentence back in January, assures us his client is alive and well.”
Lucci pleaded guilty to violating the Street Gang and Terrorism Prevention Act, and could be released as early as January 2025. In June, the District Attorney Willis submitted a letter to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles supporting Lucci’s early release.
The letter stated: “Pursuant to the parties’ negotiated agreement, the State does not object to Defendant, Rayshawn Bennett, being released from the Department of Corrections the first time he becomes eligible for parole or after serving one-third of his prison sentence, whichever comes first. This recommendation by the State is conditioned upon the Defendant’s compliance with the lawful authority of all Department of Corrections personnel and having had no incidents of any kind in any facility in which he has been housed while in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Attached to this letter is a file-stamped copy of the Defendant’s Final Disposition. Should any of the Board Members have questions regarding the State’s recommendation, please feel free to contact my office anytime.”
It’s unclear why the rumour was started, but it’s great to see the attorney move swiftly to confirm YFN Lucci is alive. It is notable that Lucci was the former labelmate of Rich Homie Quan, who passed away earlier this month.
