Lil Meech is finding out the hard way that his boss, 50 Cent, has pettiness levels through the roof.
50 Cent is taking his foot off BMF star Lil Meech and his father Big Meech’s necks. The Southside Jamaica Queens rapper shared on social media that the actor has a drug addiction that required him to send him to rehab.
On his favorite tool for antagonizing those he feels have wronged him, 50 Cent accused Big Meech of being jealous of the relationship he developed with his son while filming the hit Starz series BMF, which the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, serves as an executive producer on.
Lil Meech Was Allegedly “High As F*** On Set” According To 50 Cent
He also claimed in the eye-opening post that “MeMe,” that’s what he was calling Lil Meech, had a drug problem while adding that Big Meech did not like the fact that the “Wanksta” rapper helped his son.
“I thought about it I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” 50 Cent wrote. “I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. He telling him he use to do X like it’s cool. I tell meme chill stop spending all ya money, he telling him how much money he blew. people don’t know I had to send MeMe to rehab.”
He continued, “Russell Hornsby peeped he was high as fuck on set he started throwing up at a weapons test then Ian told me the little [ninja] had whippets in his truck.I said what the fvck is whippets I look it’s the shit that be in Bebe guns.”
The post, which is hilariously still up, features a video clip of Gene Deal talking about Big Meech, born Demetrius Flenory Jr., being a snitch and working with “officers,” referring to Rick Ross.
How Did This All Begin?
50 Cent’s continued attacks on Big Meech and Lil Meech stem from his disgust for Big Meech taking a flick with longtime nemesis Rick Ross ahead of the now-canceled Welcome Home Concert and Lil Meech standing up for his dad.
We hope this doesn’t affect the show in any way. We still need our entertainment, Fif.
Social media has been reaction to the ongoing drama between the rapper and the Flenory family, you can see those reactions in the gallery below.

The 50 Cent and Rick Ross beef continues. Fif has recently hinted at Big Meech being a rat and Rozay called him a hoe in response.
As per Blavity, Big Meech’s release from prison is already clouded in controversy. On Tuesday (Feb. 4), 50 Cent posted (since deleted) a picture of a rodent with a text overlay that read, “I think I’m Big Meech!” The caption cryptically alludes to having a female associate working with federal government on his behalf. “The biggest mistake he ever made was not sustaining his relationship with (Tammy Cowin) her tell all Docu reveals the truth.”
In a follow-up post 50 Cent shared a video of man bragging about telling on people but had it altered to feature Big Meech’s face instead. “He had Tammy Cowin doing all his dirty work, her new tell all break it down Screech directed her and connected her to people to get his time cut” he wrote.
These scathing posts come right after Big Meech posed with Rick Ross for some pictures promoting his official welcome home concert and Rozay’s June 7 car show.
As expected, the snitch claims, that used the infamous hook from Rick’s homage track to Big Meech “BMF (Blowin’ Money Fast)” by the way, landed on Renzel’s radar. As spotted on HipHopDX, he responded directly to 50 Cent. Using an exaggerated voice he said “N***a took a picture with Rick Ross!” He then switched to his regular voice and said, “You like a hoe, n***a. Put your back against the wall and just slide down.”
Tammy Cowan is believed to be Big Meech’s longtime business partner and assistant. She is also credited as a producer on 50 Cent’s BMF show. You can see Rick Ross’ response below.

B.M.F founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory is throwing a concert celebrating his freedom after 16 years of federal detention.
The 56-year-old drug kingpin was originally sentenced to 30 years in prison following his 2008 conviction for drug trafficking and money laundering. According to the Associated Press, he was released to a residential reentry program in Miami in October. His official release from federal custody is scheduled for the end of this month, setting the stage for the concert scheduled Feb. 13 at the Amerant Bank Arena in Miami. A flyer of the event is floating around on social media.
According to Complex, the show is produced by XO Touring and AG Touring. The show aims to unite the music industry in honoring Big Meech. Dubbed the Big Meech Welcome Back Legacy Concert, the show will feature performances by Lil Baby, Rick Ross, Sexxy Red, 21 Savage, 42 Dubb, Moneybagg Yo, and a slew of Detroit rappers including Payroll Giovanni, Tee Grizzley, Babyface Ray, and Icewear Vezzo.
The Detroit native and his brother Terry “Southwest T” Flenory are notorious for their criminal enterprise and foray into the music industry in Atlanta during the early 2000s with affiliations with Bleu DaVinchi and Jeezy. At the height of the B.M.F’s success, a billboard loomed over Atlanta with the ominous message, “The World is B.M.F’s.”
The brothers’ life story has been brought to the small screen with a series on Starz produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and starring Meech’s son, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory, Jr. In a 2023 interview with CassiusLife, Lil Meech said, “I’ve always looked up to my dad. But, I didn’t want to be him. I wanted to make a way for myself, like he did…but my own legacy.”
Season 4 of BMF will drop in the middle of 2025. Per The Direct, Creator Randy Huggins has hinted at possible time jumps to accelerate the story, suggesting that the show may delve into the complexities of the BMF’s rise before its eventual downfall in the early 2000s.

Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, a founder of the infamous Black Mafia Family, is out of prison.
TMZ reports that Big Meech was transferred from FCI Coleman Low in Wildwood to halfway house that is supervised by the BOP’s Miami Residential Reentry Management Office. Meaning, Big Meech is in Florida.
Back in 2005, Big Meech and BMF, which was co-founded by his brother Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory, were both indicted under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute and each was sentenced to 30 years in prison. They were accused of making $270 million from drug trafficking during their run.
Southwest T was reportedly released in 2020.
In June 2021, Big Meech was granted an earlier release date by U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson, who shaved off three years from his sentence. He was originally scheduled to be released in 2028.
The question now is, will Big Meech make a cameo in the fourth season of hit Starz series BMF?
The story is developing.

We’re only one episode into season 3 of BMF, and we already know it won’t be last.
Ahead of the hit crime drama’s season three premiere episode, Starz announced the Flenory brothers’ story will continue when BMF returns for a fourth season.
The show returned on March 1 at the stroke of midnight via the Starz app and will premiere on the Starz channel Friday, 8 PM ET. It remains one of the network’s more popular shows, not named Power, averaging 10.6 million viewers in multiplatform viewing.
“Fans can’t get enough of the history in the making that is ‘BMF,’” said Kathryn Busby, president of Programming for Starz. “We’re thrilled to start working on a new season that will continue bold storytelling of the legend of the Flenory brothers that has proven to resonate so deeply with our viewers.”
Production on season 4 begins this spring in Atlanta.
Returning for season 3 includes Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. as Demetrius Flenory, Da’Vinchi as “Terry Flenory, Russell Hornsby as Charles Flenory, Michole Briana White as Lucille Flenory, Steve Harris as Detective Bryant, Kelly Hu as Detective Jin, La La Anthony as Markisha, Sydney Mitchell as LaWanda, and Laila D. Pruitt as Nicole Flenory.
Like the previous season that saw Hip-Hop star Yung Miami show off her acting chops, this season’s special guests include NE-YO, 2 Chainz, Saweetie, Cynthia Bailey, and Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones, who is making his acting debut on the show.
The synopsis for season 3 reads:
“BMF” continues the story of the inspiring true legends, brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who founded one of the most influential crime families in the country, the Black Mafia Family. We parachute into the early ’90s in season three, with Meech moving to Atlanta, hoping to grow the BMF empire in the south and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene.
At the same time, Terry remains in the “D,” handling business there, not yet aware of all the dangers lurking around the corner. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), on probation from work, and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, but might find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season three includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season, who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their unbelievable journey.

Even though Big Meech is behind bars the law thinks the Black Màfia Family is still very much active. Over 30 individuals with ties to the organization have been been arrested for alleged drug trafficking.
News One is reporting that nearly three dozen people have been booked on various charges in Missouri. This is a result of a four-year investigation conducted by a federal task force. According to press release by the Department Of Justice “the arrests by the U.S. Marshals, federal agents and local police follow a series of grand jury indictments.” The document would add “thirty-four people have been charged in connection with the investigation, most in the past few weeks. During the arrests and associated court-approved searches, officers and agents recovered a large quantity of fentanyl, pounds of methamphetamine, firearms and cash.”
On Thursday, October 19 detention hearings were held and prosecutors described the arrestees as BMF members or associates. “These indictments and arrests targeted an organization that did not just limit their crimes to drug trafficking,” said U.S. Attorney Sayler A. Fleming. “Others have been accused of laundering money for the organization or taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to fraudulently obtain thousands of dollars in loans that were intended for struggling businesses and employees.”
Those indicted include Robert “Honest” Sims, Chad E. “JBo” Brown, Jeremy “Welo” Steele, Tiffany J. “Tiff BMF” Nelson, Carl Von Garrett, Samir Simpson-Bey and Robert L. Lewis. The DOJ says Chad Brown discussed his criminal dealings on various social media platforms. BMF was co-founded by Terry “Southwest T” Flenory and Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory. The two brothers would be sentenced to several years in federal prison for orchestrating a national cocaine distribution network. Southwest T was released on May 5, 2020. Big Meech remains incarcerated. Their story would be the basis to the popular STARZ series BMF.
The aforementioned arrested parties are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Twitter is screaming CARESHA PLEASE after watching Yung Miami’s acting debut in BMF.
BMF Fridays are in full effect, and Twitter has much to say about the latest episode. Yung Miami has caught the acting bug, appearing in the Netflix film You People and now with her highly-anticipated debut in the Starz original drama series.
Unfortunately, instead of receiving praise for her role as Deanna Washington in season two of BMF, many have taken to Twitter to call out Yung Miami for what they feel is TUBI quality acting.
“Yung Miami better thank God for colorism and “pretty privilege,” because talented she is NOT! There are too many great actors for y’all to be hiring the likes of Caresha and LaLa!!,” one Twitter user wrote in the caption of tweet with a video of Joe Budden.
“Uno I love me some Yung Miami but this scene was terrible I wasn’t convinced hopefully she improves #bmf,” another Twitter user wrote.
Yung Miami was well aware of the hate coming at her and took to social media to respond to the BMF watchers who thought her acting was real bad.
“The more they hate the more opportunities come!! It’s only the beginning for me!” the rapper wrote in reply to a tweet defending her acting debut.
Showing that she has a sense of humor, Diddy’s former boo wrote, “it wasn’t funny,lol,” in response to a tweet that read, “Caresha had me screaming on BMF last night she’s mad funny.”
She Can Hit La La For Some Advice
We hope Yung Miami keeps at it and doesn’t let the haters get to her. You don’t become a great actor overnight. If she needs to talk to anyone, she can hit up La La, who also felt the wrath of Power watchers for years.
So That’s How Meech Got The Big Nickname
That wasn’t the only thing that BMF fans, specifically the ladies talking. The thirst is real on Twitter because of a sex scene featuring Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. flashing his goods.
Quickly the jokes and reactions came in, with many agreeing the young actor should change his name from Lil Meech to Big Meech.
LOL.

Starz’s latest hit drama, BMF, shows no signs of slowing up and continues adding big names to its still-growing cast of stars.
We have no idea how long the story of the legendary Flenory brothers will continue in BMF, but it still has legs. Starz has announced that Grammy award-winning artists 2 Chainz and Ne-Yo will join the cast in recurring roles when season 3 arrives.
The two musicians join the likes of Eminem, Serayah, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee, and Snoop Dogg, who have all graced television screens on the gritty Starz drama.
Per Variety:
2 Chainz will play Stacks, an Atlanta-born distributor whose wisdom and stature command respect wherever he goes. “Fiercely loyal and determined to provide for his family no matter the cost, Stacks lives by the street code and challenges Meech’s leadership style,” as Starz describes him.
BMF’s Story So Far
For those who haven’t had the opportunity to watch the latest show in 50 Cent’s drug-dealing cinematic universe, he is building on his on-again-and-off-again partner network Starz; it retells the story of how Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi) took over the Detroit streets in the 80s and built their Black Mafia Family from the ground up.
Season two follows the brothers who have split, with Meech looking to expand his drug dealing empire and his brother Terry looking to go legit by focusing more on school and running a car-ride service with his father Charles (Russell Hornsby).
Terry gets sucked back into the drug game, reluctantly linking back up with Meech when things on the streets get hectic.
We can’t wait to see how 2 Chainz and Ne-Yo fit in on the show.
