Pretty Ricky’s Baby Blue was released from prison earlier this year, after spending more than a year in prison for PPP fraud, Media Take Out has learned. But it now appears that the popular singer was living his best life behind bars.
Baby Blue was originally sentenced to 20 months in prison last February after pleading guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud. He was accused in October 2020 of filing fake loan applications to obtain funds meant for small businesses as part of the U.S. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Baby Blue received more than $24 million as a result of the scam, and bid his fans and family farewell during a party at Prime 112 in Miami. One year later,Blue was released from Orlando’s Coleman Prison, due to the First Step Act, which was introduced by then-president Donald Trump in 2018.
The act allows eligible inmates “to participate in recidivism reduction programs and earn credits towards early release.”
He’s now sharing some of his prison stories, which included sipping on $500 Don Julio cognac with his friends. Look:
