Detroit rapper Peezy was released from prison earlier this week after serving an 18-month bid behind bars on several racketeering and conspiracy charges stemming from a 2016 indictment. EMPIRE boss Ghazi Sham and Peezy’s family were there to greet him upon his release on Wednesday (February 10) with stacks of cash as a welcome home gift of sorts.

“Back like you never left,” Ghazi wrote to Instagram.

The Team Eastside rhymer turned himself in to federal authorities during the summer of 2019. The U.S. Attorney’s Office originally indicted Peezy — born Phillip Peaks — and 10 others in the 6 Mile Chedda Grove gang on racketeering charges. The crew was also held responsible for four murders and serious injuries to children during a 2015 shooting.
