Holdin' Down The Culture
Monica has been publicly advocating for years for the release of C-Murder (legal name: Corey Miller) from prison. During the ongoing COVID-pandemic, the singer began coordinating with Kim Kardashian-West, who has been working to free wrongfully-convicted individuals for the last several years (see two examples here and here), on obtaining the release of C-Murder. The New Orleans-bred rapper, who also happens to be Master P’s blood brother, is serving a life sentence for the murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas. The two main witnesses in Cee’s case have recanted their statements in recent years claiming the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs investigating the matter coerced them into a testimony. Indeed, the State of Louisiana, and Jefferson Parish specifically, have notorious histories of engaging in unjust police investigations.
Despite being locked up in a Louisiana State Penitentiary, Lee insisted on reminding Monica about his love & appreciation for her by sending plenty of gifts for Monica’s 40th birthday.
C-Murder captioned his post regarding Monica’s birthday by noting,
“Happy birthday Moses @monicadenise I hope your earth day was beautiful. this is the last one before I touchdown you will get everything you deserve . keep being the woman and warrior you are love you Cee”
The singer publicly responded by noting the following on her IG Stories,
“Thank you @cmurder This was extremely thoughtful… Cake was fire too! Thank you, you’re appreciated!”
