In 2010, Travell Coleman confessed to a cold case homicide from 1993 after walking into an NYPD Precinct and providing details of the murder. He was charged with second-degree murder and sentenced to prison as a result of his confession. After over 13 years in prison, he was granted a 6-month early release on April 4th. However, Dep is now experiencing a culture shock as he tries to readjust to society.
Paying for items with his phone and seeing pay-to-ride mopeds all over the city are new and unfamiliar experiences for the 49-year-old former Bad Boy artist. In his first interview since his release, Dep revealed that the biggest challenge he has faced is getting used to the digital age and the impact of social media on society. The world has changed a lot during his time behind bars, and it is taking some time for him to adapt to these changes.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Dep does not regret his choice to turn himself in and take responsibility for his actions. He believes that it was important for him to face justice for what he had done and move forward with his life. As he continues to adjust to life outside of prison, Dep hopes to use this experience as a lesson for others who may be struggling with similar issues in their own lives.
