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.
You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

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.

Fans of BMF can enjoy the current second season, knowing there will be more stories to tell.
Spotted on Variety, Starz’s latest hit drama BMF, based on the actual story of Big Meech and his Detroit-based organized crime outfit, the Black Mafia Family, will get a third season.
The announcement came fresh into BMF’s second season, with the cable network noting the show was the most socially engaged drama across all networks during its premiere weekend with an astounding 4.1 million multiplatform viewers.
“BMF captures the essence of Detroit through elevated, gritty storytelling, and our fans have passionately responded to this show more than ever before,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz.
She continues, “Following such a strong debut with season two, we’re thrilled to continue to expand on the incredible story of the Flenory brothers as they change the game by writing their own rules. We can’t wait to see what our extraordinary producers and cast deliver next.”
50 Cent’s Weird Relationship With Starz Continues
With the announcement of the show’s third season, Starz’s often shaky relationship with 50 Cent and his G-Unit Film & Television will continue, despite his constant threats to pull his slate of shows from the network.
The Queen’s rapper is single-handedly bringing the heat to Starz with shows like Power Book II: Ghost (created by Courtney A. Kemp), Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Force, and now BMF.
In 2022, 50 Cent took to his Instagram account to announce that his partnership with the cabler is a dub.
“Shout out to BET, I won Hustler of the Year. No one from music culture has had success in Television production. I have 25 shows now and I’ve made some big deals away from TV. I’m out of my deal at STARZ tomorrow,” he wrote in the post’s caption.
Congrats to the cast and crew of BMF.
