He bid a lengthy farewell via Instagram just before turning himself in Tuesday.
He revealed in his location that he is serving time at FCI Allenwood Federal Prison in Pennsylvania. Word spread that Smith hoped to transfer him to a facility closer to New York so she and their children could visit him more frequently.
He began his message by asking those who are “so sick of hearing about me and this case” to just tap the unfollow button “asap.”
He then made it clear that the caption “is for all those that have supported me, grew with me, changed hearts, minds and perspectives with me.”
He revealed that his mistake came when he was “young, hungry and close minded” and added, “Now I’m wiser but it’s wisdom born through pain, so that means enduring this will just make me wise and stronger.”
He went on to say that he had a rough childhood before urging other men who are insimilar situations to “step up” and begin to put their family first.
He reassured his followers and fans that they are all “good” and told them to “keep in contact, build and encourage oeach other, stop the hating and see you when I return.”
