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 JABBAR M on October 31, 2008 at 6:28am: The conspiracy shit is some BS a title to make sure they can easily get brothers into the system w/o having all the evidents on hand. Just he say she say shit, don't believe in it no matter of how much facts they try to prove this is the reason why. Hell the MTF gov doing all of this crooked shit infront of us on the media just b/c a blackman running for president. When it comes down to a lil sight of some to put a mark on us for life they go all the fuck out sending our brothers to jail 10-50 years in the "Slave Pen" while they continue to get rich and the poor gets poor. I agree with one of the comments of yeah some of our brothers need to get jobs and shit but I mean in the City Of DC I see the folks who work within the gov making 6-7figs like it's nothing doing that white shit, popping pills and shit aint happening. Black folks yeah some of us are well educated or have pretty good descent jobs they still have it made to where you are only going to move up but so far on certain levels and if you get it do believe they're watching your every move until you fuck up then replacing you with a white american to supervise you in the position you been holding and then maybe getting paid more. Our system society is fuck up never change aint going to change until something big happens, but until then as African American we are still going to have it 5 or 10xs harder having to walking a thin line in whatever we do in this life. Just live life do what you have to do to maintain being on point w/your shit in whatever you do I aint mad at you....Keep Yo Head Up BMF!!!!!
