In a significant move, President Joe Biden has granted clemency to Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, one of the co-founders of the notorious Black Mafia Family (BMF). This decision, announced on December 12, is part of a broader initiative to pardon numerous individuals who were released from prison or placed under house arrest during the COVID-19 pandemic. Flenory shared his excitement on social media, posting a picture of the clemency affidavit alongside a video of his ankle monitor being removed. He expressed his gratitude, stating, “Now it’s official! It’s been a journey, but prayer and unwavering faith got us to this point.”
Flenory’s release also brings attention to the status of his brother, Big Meech, who is currently serving the remainder of his sentence in a Florida halfway house and will transition to supervised release for five years.
Terry Flenory and his brother were sentenced to 30 years in federal prison in 2008 for drug trafficking. The challenges they faced were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which posed significant health risks within correctional facilities. As a result, Flenory was transferred to house arrest in 2020 to complete his sentence. With this recent presidential pardon, he has now had his remaining sentence commuted.
In the wake of his release, there has been buzz about a potential collaboration involving 50 Cent and Big Meech, though details remain unclear. Fans speculate whether this collaboration will tie into the BMF television series or a music project. Regardless, it’s clear that the Flenory brothers deserve some time for peace and reflection rather than the spotlight.
