From R. Kelly to Bill Cosby, there have been many celebrities who have been asking to be released from prison due to the spread of COVID-19. 

Now, Kimbella, the wife of Juelz Santana, has started a petition asking for her husband to be released.

The Change.org petition reads, “Laron James needs to be freed during this pandemic to be with his family. He is currently on lockdown for 2 weeks because of the Covid-19 virus outbreak. He has served 13 months at FCI Petersburg and should be allowed to serve the rest of his sentence on home confinement.”

The petition also stated, “BOP & Honorable Judge Chesler can make this happen for Laron. He is a good husband, father, son, brother, friend and has a positive media influence as a legendary rap artist. We need you to sign this petition to get Laron James aka Juelz Santana home.”
