According to a report from the Athens Banner-Herald on Tuesday (May 4), a judge in Georgia's Greene County Superior Court sentenced the 1017 Records artist to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty on Monday (May 3) to removing the ankle GPS device. Music executive and Authentic Empire founder Boomman tweeted about Foogiano's prison sentence earlier this week on May 3. He wrote, "Green County Just Gave @FoogianoDaMayor 5 years for cutting an ankle monitor for a gun charge that wasn’t his and was claimed by some one else this is beyond crazy �� we have to do something about this!" Foogiano also alluded to the sentencing via Instagram, sharing a post featuring a black-and-yellow sign reading, "Free Foo," and had a caption that read, "All my friends, family and supporters make this your profile pic 'while I’m gone.'"
