Mendeecees reunited with his children after gaining his freedom last week.
Mendeecees Harris became a free man last Wednesday, when he was released from prison on January 29th after spending over 5 years behind bars.

The father of four strolled the street with his and Yandy’s two kids, 7-year-old Omere Harris and 5-year-old Skylar Smith Harris during their first public appearance together since his release.

Mendeecees’s time in prison has been a prominent storyline on Love & Hip Hop: New York, as the show followed Yandy navigating the struggles of having her husband and father of her children locked up. Now that he’s a free man, Mendeecees will surely make his reappearance on the show, especially since he and Yandy just adopted a daughter.
