Crime Mob’s Shocking Split: The Michael Jackson Lie That Ended It All
Written by djfrosty on April 1, 2025
Crime Mob, the Atlanta-based rap group that brought crunk to the forefront, broke onto the scene in the early 2000s with their banger “Knuck If You Buck.”
Formed in 2002, the crew initially consisted of M.I.G., Cyco Black, Lil’ Jay, Killa C, and the fierce female duo, Princess and Diamond. Their raw, high-energy sound made them an instant staple in Southern hip-hop, dominating parties and the streets with tracks like “Rock Yo Hips” and “Stilettos (Pumps).” But even with all that heat, behind-the-scenes drama eventually caused their downfall.
In a recent podcast interview, Princess dropped a bombshell about the real reason behind Crime Mob’s breakup. Apparently, she once hit Diamond with a wild story, telling her that Michael Jackson had been spotted at Six Flags and was interested in hopping on a remix of “Knuck If You Buck.” At first, Diamond bought the story, but when she found out it was a total lie, she was livid. Feeling betrayed, Diamond made the decision to bounce from the group, and that was the beginning of the end for Crime Mob.
While fans had always speculated that creative differences or industry pressures were to blame, Princess’s confession caught everyone off guard. Though they’ve occasionally linked up for performances, Crime Mob never fully reclaimed their place in the rap game. Despite their brief time in the spotlight, their influence is undeniable, with their tracks still bumping in the clubs and inspiring a new generation of Southern rappers.
Crime Mob may be gone, but their legacy is far from over.
