Fans waiting for Lil Boosie to come home from prison will have to wait just a little bit longer. According to reports, the New Orleans rhymer’s release date has been postponed.


As we previously reported, Boosie was expected to walk out of Louisiana State Penitentiary on Feb. 13. Now it looks like he will be released in March.


On Friday (Feb. 7), L.A. Weekly reporter Jeff Weiss, who has spent time interviewing Boosie for Rolling Stone magazine, went on Twitter to give an update on his release date.


The Baton Rouge rhymer has been incarcerated since 2009, after being arrested for violating his probation. His sentence was then extended after he pleaded guilty for smuggling contraband into the facility.


Once Boosie is released from prison, he will be placed on supervised probation until June 17, 2018. According to his brother, Taquari Hatch, the rapper will spend most of his time in the studio and prepping a tour.


“He has plans to go straight to the studio to begin working on an album as well as his tour in late spring, early summer,” he said.

Innocent Men Finally Released After Serving 22 Years In Jail



Antonio Yarbough and Sharrif Wilson, the men who were convicted in the 1992 murder of Yarbough's mother, 12-year old sister, and little cousin were freed after a DNA evidence proved that they were innocent.


In 1992, Yarbough was sentenced to 75 and Wilson 9 years to life in jail over the murders. Now both men int their late 30's spoke to CNN about the ordeal.


Another factor that played into their long prison sentence was Wilson providing a false confession about the crimes in exchange for a shorter prison sentence. In an interview with CNN Wilson says that he was terrified. "I was scared, afraid; I was lied to, manipulated into believing that I was going to go home, if I do tell ... what they said happened." Wilson was only 15 years old and Yarbough 18 at the time of their conviction.


Yarbough says he forgives Wilson and knows that he was manipulated because the same thing happened to him. When asked if he thinks the killer of his family will ever be found, he says that "It is in God's hands now."
