Big Meech, the co-founder of BMF, was released from prison this week after being sentenced to 30 years for drug trafficking and money laundering.
A lot of rap artists welcomed him home including Sexyy Red, Boosie Badazz, Slim Thug, and Rick Ross.
LeBron James did the same, but he caught a good deal of backlash.
Welcome home Big Meech!! 🫡

Some said the NBA star is trying to be cool. Others said he shouldn't be celebrating a past outlaw.
Glorifying the wrong people

“Welcome home a murder, killer of KIDS THROUGH DRUGS, killer of countless mothers, fathers hand FAMILIES”. You want to fit in so bad, wanna be hip and cool so bad that you just follow whatever is deemed cool at the moment. Shame on you. Grow tf up
