A week after announcing he’ll be turning himself in following charges relating to a COVID-19 loan scheme, Pretty Ricky’s Baby Blue decided to spend his final night as a free man with those in his circle. 

A new instagram post shared by the Florida rapper—whose real name is Diamond Smith— depicts what he’s calling the “Last Supper,” a gathering of those closest to him at Miami’s Prime 112.

“My immediate circle of family and friends joined me in a private room at Prime 112 on South Beach Miami, FL to say there fairwells on the eve of my prison surrender,” he wrote in the caption. “The night was filled with tears and laughter. I love you all. See you soon. 💙🙏🏾🤞🏾Don’t forget to write.”

As HipHopDx points out, some people roasted the rapper for hosting a lavish goodbye dinner before a relatively short prison stint. “This man only doing a year and 8 months if he don’t gone somewhere n-gga acting like he finna go in and do life,” one commenter wrote, per the outler, while another added, “He act like he about to do life without parole” and “He so extra!! Boy just go to jail!!!”

The rapper was sentenced to 20 months on one count of Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud back in December, and announced he’d be surrendering a week ago, sharing his address at FCI Coleman Low, the federal correctional institution in Coleman, Florida, for fans to write to him. He was alleged to be involved in a scam that collected $24 million from the Paycheck Protection Program.

“I’ll be right back & Yeah Ima write back,” he captioned the Instagram post showing his prison address.

It appears Baby Blue has since turned himself in, as he tweeted around 9:20 a.m. ET that he was “literally in route” and “on my way to turn myself in to do my prison time this morning.”

The rapper previously told Hollywood Unlocked in May of 2021 that he wants to transform his body like Gucci Mane as he serves his time, saying that soon enough, he’ll be “ripped” and one of the “hottest rappers in the world.”
