Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory has been reportedly released from federal prison and transferred to a halfway house. According to The Jasmine Brand, Flenory is initially expected to be released back home in 2026 at the latest.
Shortly after the news broke, journalist Philip Lewis reported on the news, typing, “Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson tells me Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ Flenory was transferred yesterday from FCI Coleman Low to community confinement (home confinement or halfway house). Flenory has a projected release date of Jan. 27, 2026.”
The Detroit News previously reported that the Black Mafia Family co-founder could be walking free in 2026. The famous hustler was set to serve a 30-year sentence, which he was handed back in 2008. Brittany K. Barnett, Flenory’s attorney, initially had 32 months diced off of his sentence. However, after being found guilty of large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering, Barnett highlighted his client’s commitment to readjusting to society.
Big Meech and his brother Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory founded BMF as a creative agency and Hip-Hop label in 1985. But it all came crashing down in the 2000s after federal agents concluded that the company was a mere front for a complex money laundering scheme.
The feds stated that BMF moved cocaine across the country, raking in more than $270 million in cocaine sales. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents razed Flenory’s cocaine empire in 2005 in a drug bust, with Big Meech, Southwest Tee, and more than 100 co-conspirators being arrested for their crimes.
No other details surrounding Big Meech have been released at this time.
