His lawyer says the 44-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, walked out of the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo Friday afternoon.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Simmons' attorney, Dominic Candino, said his client was "ecstatic" after his release.
Candino says Simmons was freed after he filed a motion asking a judge to stay the sentence, which was granted.
Cardino said there had been "some legal issues" in the case, but would not elaborate.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Simmons had been arrested before a performance in New York City in June. Authorities said at the time he owed $400,000 in unpaid child support.
Simmons will need to appear in court again in November.
