One of Hip-Hop’s most celebrated street figures is almost home. Big Meech of BMF has been assigned to a halfway house.
As spotted on TMZ, the Detroit, Mich. native is no longer behind bars. Last week, the Black Mafia Family leader was released from FCI Coleman Low, a low-security federal correctional institution in Florida. The celebrity gossip website claims he has now been moved to a halfway house governed by the Miami Residential Reentry Management Office. A photograph of Big Meech and his barber has since surfaced; in the flick, we see him wearing street clothes as opposed to a jail uniform.

While he or his family has yet to formally comment on the matter his lawyer Brittany K. Barnett expressed her excitement about his release in an exclusive statement to The Michigan Chronicle. “He used his time in prison to focus on personal growth and transformation, and now he has the opportunity to begin a new chapter.”
The Black Mafia Family is alleged to have run one of the most successful drug trafficking organizations in America.
In 2005, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory was arrested in part of a federal investigation against BMF, which resulted in him and over 100 other individuals being arrested. He and his brother both received 30-year sentences.
Earlier this year, a judge shortened his time by three years due to good behavior. His sentence now ends Jan. 27, 2026.

Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, a founder of the infamous Black Mafia Family, is out of prison.
TMZ reports that Big Meech was transferred from FCI Coleman Low in Wildwood to halfway house that is supervised by the BOP’s Miami Residential Reentry Management Office. Meaning, Big Meech is in Florida.
Back in 2005, Big Meech and BMF, which was co-founded by his brother Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory, were both indicted under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute and each was sentenced to 30 years in prison. They were accused of making $270 million from drug trafficking during their run.
Southwest T was reportedly released in 2020.
In June 2021, Big Meech was granted an earlier release date by U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson, who shaved off three years from his sentence. He was originally scheduled to be released in 2028.
The question now is, will Big Meech make a cameo in the fourth season of hit Starz series BMF?
The story is developing.

We’re only one episode into season 3 of BMF, and we already know it won’t be last.
Ahead of the hit crime drama’s season three premiere episode, Starz announced the Flenory brothers’ story will continue when BMF returns for a fourth season.
The show returned on March 1 at the stroke of midnight via the Starz app and will premiere on the Starz channel Friday, 8 PM ET. It remains one of the network’s more popular shows, not named Power, averaging 10.6 million viewers in multiplatform viewing.
“Fans can’t get enough of the history in the making that is ‘BMF,’” said Kathryn Busby, president of Programming for Starz. “We’re thrilled to start working on a new season that will continue bold storytelling of the legend of the Flenory brothers that has proven to resonate so deeply with our viewers.”
Production on season 4 begins this spring in Atlanta.
Returning for season 3 includes Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. as Demetrius Flenory, Da’Vinchi as “Terry Flenory, Russell Hornsby as Charles Flenory, Michole Briana White as Lucille Flenory, Steve Harris as Detective Bryant, Kelly Hu as Detective Jin, La La Anthony as Markisha, Sydney Mitchell as LaWanda, and Laila D. Pruitt as Nicole Flenory.
Like the previous season that saw Hip-Hop star Yung Miami show off her acting chops, this season’s special guests include NE-YO, 2 Chainz, Saweetie, Cynthia Bailey, and Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones, who is making his acting debut on the show.
The synopsis for season 3 reads:
“BMF” continues the story of the inspiring true legends, brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who founded one of the most influential crime families in the country, the Black Mafia Family. We parachute into the early ’90s in season three, with Meech moving to Atlanta, hoping to grow the BMF empire in the south and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene.
At the same time, Terry remains in the “D,” handling business there, not yet aware of all the dangers lurking around the corner. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), on probation from work, and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, but might find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season three includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season, who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their unbelievable journey.
