Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy's name came up recently where no one wants their name to come up — in federal court in connection with a cocaine distribution ring.
Simms testified that he worked for the Black Mafia Family and that he was charged with unloading the gang's cocaine from limousines with secret compartments. He told the court that he'd pile hundreds of bricks of coke in various stash houses and that, back in fall 2004, high-ranking BMF members Chad "J-Bo" Brown and Martez "Tito" Byrth ordered him to set aside multi-kilo cocaine "shipments" for two customers.
One of them, he said, was "Jeezy."
"The rapper?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney asked.
"Yes," Simms replied.
As of this time, it doesn't look like Jeezy (who refers to himself, ingeniously, as the Snowman) will be charged with any crimes. [MTV]

When references come back to haunt you…
Most times people from the streets come out to deny that now-famous rappers were ever involved in the 'game, but here Y.J. has someone coming forward to vouch for his 'real gangster' status. Since this confession might lead to jail time, I know Young Jeezy will deny his involvement, but I wonder would he have been more accepting of the 'shout out' if there were no consequences.
the media is so funny… why wouldn't a person with a "gangster/survival" mindset who has connections NOT peddle drugs to the other "entertainers"? how do people think all these drugs get into the hands of britney-nicolerichie-paris-whitney-bobby-etc?
The real sad thing about all of this is that our young people read this and glorify these rappers. Not saying that Geezy is guilty or innocent, but our youth are falling victim to this and it has to stop. Its sad that our youth go out and think they can do some of the things mentioned in these rap songs. When they get caught up in some serious offenses, they blame the rappers; which I think is not fair to them. They have to make a living just like everybody else. We, as a people must wake up and educate our youth.
Well i hope jeezy gets out of this one. It's no suprize 2 me cause their are alot of rappers thats actually living tha street life &still in tha game. But they stupid 4 talkin bout it and plus with all the spendin they do makes them white boy supicious. They dont want black people having shit. But jeezy wont do anytime cause he's smarter then that.
