Rapper Lil’ Kim has been granted a special gift for the upcoming U.S. Independence Day. She’ll be released from prison on Monday — nearly three months early — on account of good behaviour.

“I am thrilled to be coming home,” she said in a statement, according to MTV News. “I thank all my fans for all their letters, as well as my family and friends for all their support throughout the past 10 months.”

Kim (real name: Kimberly Jones) will remain under house arrest for 30 days after her release. She will also be on probation for three years.

She has been in prison, serving a 366-day sentence, since September 19.

In March 2005, Kim was convicted on one count of conspiracy and three counts of perjury in connection with the trial of a 2001 shooting incident outside the Hot 97 radio station in New York.
