Troy Ave released from prison and surprised with Lamborghini

Troy Ave was released from prison after serving less than a year for his involvement in a 2016 shooting.

The Brooklyn rapper (real name Roland Collins) celebrated his newfound freedom on Monday (August 26) by posting a photo of himself outside Rikers Island, standing in front of a red Lamborghini with a bag full of cash, with the caption: “Ya boi home!”

Another clip showed Troy being given the supercar and a pile of cash after his release from prison, with Ave saying his first stop was the airport.

The head of BSB Records was only sent to prison in February after getting into a fight with podcaster Taxstone at a TI concert in New York in 2016, which resulted in a shootout in which Troy's bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was killed.

Troy himself and two passersby also suffered gunshot wounds in the brawl.

Taxstone, the suspected shooter, was sentenced to 35 years in prison, while Troy Ave.'s sentence was reduced to one year.

Troy Ave spoke about his absence in an Instagram video earlier this year, apparently confirming that he would turn himself in to authorities to serve his sentence.

“I'm running into the courtroom right now. You may not see me for a while, but know that the street is a myth,” he said. “Someone shot me. Instead of lying down and dying, I would have been a hero, a martyr. I'm taking the gun and charging back.”

“There you have it, here are the consequences. We don't cry over spilled milk. Take the lemons and make lemonade. Continue to support us and keep it going. And send prayers; prayers mean more than anything… I'm out of here.”

Troy also spoke in his podcast about his sentence The Academyand said, “Because of New York's self-defense laws, I'll probably have to be away from my children and my loved ones and my businesses and my co-workers and the life I've built for myself. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six.”

About life in prison, he said: “I'm not trying to win the 'toughest n-ga in prison' contest. I just want to be the richest n-ga. I'm going to play dominoes, do push-ups, read some books and take some time to recharge my batteries.”
