Rapper Bleu DaVinci Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison

BMF Entertainment’s main rapper Bleu DaVinci was sentenced to five years and four months in federal prison, after being convicted for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

The rapper was accused and convicted of distributing multiple kilos of cocaine starting around 2003 through a multi-city drug network controlled by Black Mafia Family’s founders, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and his brother, Terry “Southwest T” Flenory.

DaVinci, born Barima McKnight and nine other remaining defendants in the government’s case against BMF were handed down sentences yesterday (October 29) ranging from 5 years to 16 in federal prison.

Prosecutors accused the BMF organization of running a massive, multistate cocaine empire based out of Los Angeles and Atlanta.

BMF, which was founded in the early 1990’s in Detroit, earned over $270 million dollars by distributing cocaine throughout the country.

Over 500 people were associated with BMF in numerous states, including Florida, Michigan, Georgia, California, Missouri and Tennessee.

In September of 2008, both Flenory brothers were sentenced to 30 years in prison each for overseeing the drug empire.

In addition to 40 other co-conspirators, the brothers’ 60-year-old father, Charles Flenory was even sentenced to 18 months in prison, for using drug proceeds to pay for renovations on Terry’s house.

In June of 2008, famed Hip-Hop jeweler Jacob “The Jeweler” Arabov was also sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison, for falsifying records and giving false statements to investigators and helping to launder the drug money.

Prosecutors believed DaVinci also took over BMF’s operations while the Big Meech, Southwest T and a third in command - Chad “J-Bo” Brown were awaiting their sentences.

Brown had previously refused to cooperate with authorities and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Comment by James Is The Greatest Jeweler on October 30, 2008 at 4:45pm: It's so pathetic that young black men would consider a damn drug dealer royalty? That organization has done nothing but help destroy neighborhoods as any other drug organization would. I strongly feel that the encarceration of these men should serve as an example to the rest of you want to be "BMF" hopefuls out here in the streets of Atlanta.

I have no appreciation for anyone that sells drugs, or anything else that would become a problem in my community due to the greedy minds of men who choose not to go out and get a legal job, pay taxes, and be a respectable citizen.

On the same note the "N" word is a word you black men need to put to rest? i wonder what Dr. Martin Luther King would say of all of the black men using such a word he fought hard to keep out of the mouths of white men and women? some of you black men have no respect for anything but a night club, alcohol, marijuana, and a female that has no self respect for herself to be laying up with your sorry "CONVICTED FELON" asses!

I'm done with this comment, i've said enough for now and i could care less who doesn't like what i've stated here, change your ways you'll learn to agree with me.

Comment by James Is The Greatest Jeweler on October 30, 2008 at 5:06pm: Oh and by the way it's really unfortunate my very good friend and colleague "JACOB THE JEWELER" will be going to federal prison due to his own decision to deal with known trash, but it's alright he still has his jewelry business.

To all of you black men that can't seem to get your lives off of fast money? just keep trying to invent the wheel as you head down the drug dealing path to hell. I can assure you that U.S. Attorney Sally Yates and Assistant U.S. Attorney David Namias will be there in that federal courtroom waiting to throw your asses in federal prison.

Why would anyone choose to disgrace their mothers and close family selling something that is clearly "ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is beyond me? black men take your asses to school as i did, get your asses a job and take your black asses to work and pay some damn taxes as i do!

Leave this drug dealing shit to the "LEGAL" doctors and pharmecists who do it everyday! if you want to sell drugs take your ass to medical school.
