Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci is still facing a murder charge, but he’s currently out of jail after posting a $500,000 bond. The release comes with some major restrictions, however.
YFN Lucci’s Release Comes With Strict Conditions
YFN Lucci turned himself in to authorities in January for his alleged involvement in the Dec. 10 shooting death of James Adams in Atlanta. He’s been let out on bond while awaiting trial, and the terms of his release include wearing an ankle monitor, surrendering his passport, and keeping a 7 p.m. curfew. Lucci basically can’t leave the house to see anyone except his lawyers and his kids, and he can’t post on social media.
“The bond was negotiated last week and finalized today. He was released just before 4 pm. There are a variety of conditions which is somewhat consistent with these cases, which included surrendering his passport.” (Drew Findling, Lucci’s lawyer)
YFN Lucci Denied Bond On First Try
Lucci reportedly requested bond so he can be available to support his mother and his four children. In his initial request — which was rejected — the rapper claimed he isn’t a threat to anybody and isn’t at risk of fleeing.
YFN Lucci‘s hoping to get out of lockup to take care of his kids and his mom … even though he’s facing some serious charges for his alleged role in a homicide. According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ … the rapper’s asking the judge to set a reasonable bond because he has “four underaged children whom he financially supports.” YFN also claims to provide a home and money for his mother living in Fulton County, GA.
