Atlanta rapper Ralo, one of Gucci Mane’s 1017 label signees, is spending eight years behind bars for a marijuana trafficking charge he got hit with back in 2018. In a new Instagram post he made while in prison, Ralo said that despite the hefty time he must serve, he knows he would rather be in prison than snitch like 6ix9ine.
“THIS MY 4TH SUMMER BEHIND THE WALL,” he said in the caption. “MY GIRL, MY DAUGHTER AN MY MOMMA CRY EVERYDAY FOR ME TO COME HOME AN I LOOK THEM IN THEY FACE AN TELL THEM I RATHER LAY IN THIS BUNK THAN SIT ON THAT STAND TO COME HOME.”
He continued, “AN PLEASE KNOW THAT I COULDVE BEEN HOME LIKE [6IX9INE] WITH MY MILLIONS AN THEM PRETTY HOES WOULDVE STILL SUCKED THE SKIN OFF MY DICK EVERYDAY. HONOR AND DONT FORGET ABOUT US CUZ WE IN THIS BITCH GROWING GREY EVERYDAY FOR NOT GOING AGAINST #DAFAM.”
6ix9ine peeped the post after DJ Akademiks reposted it on his Instagram. The rapper took to the comments to voice his opinion on Ralo’s statement.
“I don’t even know who this is.. but somehow if I respond ‘I’m the problem’ .. ‘I’m too disrespectful,’” he wrote in the comments. “Everyone always mentions me first and when I start and don’t stop ’69 aLwaYs gO tO fAr.’”
Ralo was shouted out on Drake’s song “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” when the Toronto rapper spit, “real life my whole fam goons like Ralo,” referencing the Atlanta artists social media handle, “ralofamgoon.” The rapper also had many big-name celebrities and influencers pushing for him to be freed, all signing a letter to President Biden asking for his case to be appealed.
“You alone have the power to call out a grand hypocrisy of prior administrations,” it read. “While cannabis became a thriving, legal market and has enriched many, your predecessors largely ignored people like [Ralo], who are still serving lengthy federal prison terms for doing the same thing.”
Ralo is currently set to be free around 2026.
