C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, said he's feeling hopeful because Kim Kardashian and his ex Monica are trying to free him from prison.

The New Orleans rapper is serving a life sentence for the assault and murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas in 2002. But a few years ago, a witness who said he saw C-Murder fire the gun recanted his testimony.

Kim announced earlier this week that she'd be teaming with Monica and others to help C-Murder, who has since reacted to her message.

7 months ago I called @monicadenise & she conferenced in @kimkardashian ! I did not know Moses had been working to reach Kim. After our call for the first time in 19 years, I slept!! You can rest behind these walls but never do you actually sleep! My case had been stagnant for years! So I published multiple books to help feed my kids & pay lawyers bare minimum! I am a man so it was no one’s responsibility to save me & no one attempted to! But when you trust God he will send his angels! This message is To any man or woman fighting the injustices of the system , DONT EVER GIVE UP!!! And do as I am. Focus on the Blessings, Not the Betrayals! #TruStory #FREECoreyMiller

Kim has worked with Donald Trump to free prisoners before so it'll be intereting to see if she has the same success with C-Murder. 

Do you believe she will?
