The 35-year-old Philadelphia rapper-turned-entrepreneur who was born Robert Williams tweeted about the pardon on Friday.

At a 2008 trial, a judge found Williams guilty of drug and gun charges and sentenced him to about one to two years in jail followed by 10 years of probation.

The case came to a head in 2017, when the judge sentenced Williams to two to four years in prison for violating probation, citing a failed drug test, failure to comply with an order restricting his travel and two unrelated arrests. The judge issued the ruling despite a prosecutor and a probation officer recommending that Williams not be incarcerated.because new evidence undermined the credibility of the arresting officer.
