Former sports icon O.J. Simpson is walking the streets again. The controversial retired NFL star has been released from prison.
According to reports, Simpson finally tasted freedom Sunday (October 1) after a nine-year stint behind bars.
Simpson signed his exit papers and was then released from the Nevada Correctional Center just after midnight … minutes after he was eligible to be paroled. The release was stealth, because prison officials wanted to avoid a media crush. As he walked out, he was told by prison staff, “Don’t come back” … it’s a standard issue farewell. The 70-year-old convict replied, “I don’t intend to.” (TMZ)
Back in July, radio personality Funk Flex trolled music mogul JAY-Z with an O.J. clip.
The same week, a slew of hip-hop artists gave their initial reactions to Simpson getting paroled in a robbery conviction.
