Tee Grizzley Reflects On His Second Chance After Getting His Record Expunged
It was a celebration on Wednesday after his Michigan felony record was expunged by Judge Rosemarie Aquilina. The rapper shared that he had been working for the last two years to get his record expunged. He also revealed that having felonies on his record had cost him business opportunities throughout the years.
During the celebration, two Ingham County teens had their felony weapons charges reduced to misdemeanors. They completed the county’s juvenile weapons court program.
Tee Grizzley spoke highly of the program and encouraged the teens to take advantage of their second chance. The rapper later took to his platform, sharing photos with the judge and his family. He celebrated the news and thanked God for reaching the milestone. “Every felony GONE!!!! Thank you God,” Tee Grizzley wrote.
He then encouraged others with a record to keep working, praying, and growing despite their past mistakes.
“If you’re reading this and you’ve made mistakes, don’t let them convince you your life is over. One decision doesn’t have to define your entire story. Keep working. Keep praying. Keep growing. Your comeback can be greater than your setback. NOW STAY OUTTA THE BS AND GO GET THE MONEY!! #TheyForgot”
