‘LHHATL’ Scrapp DeLeon Released from Prison and Gets Warm Welcome By Family and Friends

Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” reality star Scrapp DeLeon is now a free man after being sentenced to jail in 2016.

DeLeon was booked on drug-trafficking charges and was ordered to serve five years in prison and 15 years on probation, but it looks like the star seemingly got out on early release. Nevertheless, he was welcomed home by the mother of his son Tiarra Becca and “Marriage Bootcamp” actress Momma Dee.

Becca took to Instagram on Sunday and posted a photo of with DeLeon on FaceTime. She added the caption, “Been keeping this low key but welcome home chump.” She continued, “Now take yo son G! I need a break break! Best dad ever. Been missing your presence. King be getting upper cutted because I can’t deal. I know you’re a changed man now. … but I’m flying you down to the booty club and we mobbin extra heavy.”

“LHHATL” co-star Momma Dee also shared a picture with DeLeon at her “palace” and sent some positive vibes his way.

“Showing love to @iamthequeenkarenking,” Dee wrote. “Scrap free at last thank God almighty he is free much.”

DeLeon’s mother Karen King celebrated her son’s homecoming with a photo of his post-prison body and said she was grateful to have all of her children. “Everyday I thank God for my children, I’m the proud mother of 4 boys 3 girls,” she wrote.

Fans are still waiting for DeLeon’s ex-girlfriend Tommie Lee to give him a shout out, but it may not be happening anytime soon seeing as Lee is still with legal troubles of her own.

However, Instagram users said they hope DeLeon stays on the right track and welcomed him back on the scene.

“Yes the King is Out Now Stay Out Of Trouble.”

“Welcome home Scrapp! Momma Karen I KNOW your heart is full of praise.”

“Glad he’s home I am happy especially for his son King y’all family bond is strong 💪🏽 .”

“I am so happy that Scrapp is out of prison. I prayed about it and kept the faith. See you soon on tv.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
