In a surprising turn of events, federal prosecutors have announced serious charges against Eugene Henley Jr., better known as “Big U.” He is a well-known figure linked to the Rollin’ 60s Crips gang and is now facing a total of 43 charges, including crimes like racketeering, wire fraud, embezzlement, and even murder. Big U was taken into federal custody on March 19 and is set to appear in court on April 8 in Los Angeles. The indictment reveals a troubling account of Big U’s alleged criminal activities. Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph McNally stated, “As the indictment alleges, Mr. Henley led a criminal enterprise that engaged in everything from murder to complicated schemes to steal money from taxpayers and a charity.”

This serious set of charges indicates that prosecutors are looking to secure a big conviction that could shake up organized crime in Los Angeles. Big U has been controversial in the hip-hop and street culture scene. Some people see him as a figure who has turned his life around and helps the community, while others have raised concerns about his connections to illegal activities. This indictment appears to back up long-standing suspicions from law enforcement, but it also opens up questions about his influence and the extent of his operations.

If found guilty, he could face a long prison sentence, which would significantly impact both his presence in the streets and his role in the cultural scene. Federal officials have clarified that disrupting criminal organizations is a top priority. McNally added, “Today’s charges against the leaders of this criminal group will make our neighborhoods in Los Angeles safer.” This case strongly conveys that no one is above the law. As news of this indictment spreads through the hip-hop community, discussions are now focused on its implications for society.

The heartache of losing a beloved artist never goes away, and for fans of Texas rapper Mo3, that pain has come flooding back with the recent release of troubling footage from the moments before his tragic death in November 2020. The video shows the events leading up to his fatal shooting and has left many fans feeling heartbroken all over again. Mo3, who was just 28 years old at the time, was chased down on a Dallas highway by a masked attacker. As he tried to escape, he was shot multiple times and sadly did not survive.

The footage, which many consider too distressing to watch, shows Mo3 stopping his car and getting out, seemingly looking for something inside. In that vulnerable moment, the shooter ran up to him and fired the deadly shots. As the video spreads across social media, fans have been sharing their sorrow and paying tribute to Mo3. Comments like “R.I.P. Mo3 Gone too soon” and “It’s never that serious to take somebody’s life” reflect the overwhelming sadness and disbelief surrounding his death. The resurfacing of this video has reignited the grief over his loss, especially in light of the recent arrest of another Texas rapper, Yella Beezy, who is now facing serious charges related to Mo3’s death.

This news brings many fans sadness and a strange sense of closure. Mo3 was known for his honest lyrics and catchy style, and he had a passionate following that related to his music. His songs often spoke about his life challenges, making his loss feel even more significant for those who connected with him through his art. While the legal system is now addressing the circumstances of his death, nothing can bring back the remarkable talent that was taken away too soon. Fans continue to mourn his passing, Mo3’s impact lives on through his music, serving as a lasting reminder of the talent and promise lost far too early.
