Walter “King Tut” Johnson, who 2Pac famously said shot him at Quad Studios in 1994, was recently released from jail after 27 years for crimes that had nothing to do with the shooting. In 1997, he was given five life sentences, but the federal judge who made that decision has since changed his mind and said that the term was “excessively harsh.” HipHopDX says that he was never officially charged with the attack that 2Pac talked about in the liner notes of his first record, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.

As time goes on, judges gain insights that can only come from being on the bench for a while and growing as a judge, Judge Frederic Block wrote in his decision from earlier this month, which The New York Times saw. “I now think that my sentences, even though they were legal, were too harsh.”

Johnson stood for a picture with Uncle Murda soon after he got out of jail, and Uncle Murda posted it on Instagram. “Welcome Home [King] TUT. Brooklyn East New York Legend,” he wrote under the picture. Bobby Shmurda was one of many people who posted opinions. A lot of fire emojis were left behind by him. They were written by Tony Yayo as well.
