He was released on bond a few days later, saying on Instagram, “I’m happy to finally be going home to my family and friends. I look forward to clearing my name in the very near future. I want to thank God, my family, my team… Atlantic Records, my lawyers and all of my fans for your continuous love and support. I can’t wait to get back to doing what I love most – working at being the illest rapper alive.” A week later, his single “Lockjaw” with French Montana went certified gold.

Fuck outta here. We don’t die, we multiply, nigga.” In September, Rocky told a packed crowd that Carti signed to Interscope.
