RapperĀ Headie One has secured early release from prison after he was jailed for possession of a knife.
The drill star, real name Irving Adjei, documented his release on his Instagram story, where he appeared to wear a protective mask while boarding a helicopter.
In a subsequent string of videos, he was seen at the wheel of a Bentley before seemingly returning home where a meal was laid out on his table.
His release comes after he was jailed in JanuaryĀ at Wood Green Crown Court.
The 25-year-old was arrested last June after his car was stopped and searched by police, and a lock knife was subsequently discovered.

He was subsequently bailed to perform at festivals including Glastonbury and Wireless on the condition that he stay out of the London boroughs of Haringey and Enfield.
It is currently unclear whether his release is linked to fears that coronavirus could spread throughout UK prisons, but NME has contacted his representatives for comment.
Today (April 3), also sees Headie One teaming up with producer Fred again on new mixtape ‘GANG’.
In a five-star review, NME wrote: “HeadieĀ might sound fed up throughout this mixtape, but even when heās in the grips of a depression (On āSmokeā he sombrely raps:Ā āI know how it feels to be forgottenā) you never doubt his ability toĀ persevereĀ and find a better way.Ā If this mixtape is a sign of things to come, then donāt be surprised if Headie Oneās name is soon mentioned among theĀ Skeptas,Ā Giggses, andĀ Stormzys of the world. He sure deserves it.
