Big U, the notorious LA kingpin, has turned himself in to authorities, facing a barrage of serious charges including murder and RICO violations. Eugene Henley Jr., better known as Big U, surrendered after a federal indictment that has sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community and beyond. In a final Instagram video, he claimed betrayal from associates, naming several figures he alleges conspired against him, including Wack 100 and 600.

The feds have launched a massive operation, dubbed “Operation Draw Down,” targeting a criminal enterprise linked to the Rollin’ 60s gang, which prosecutors claim Big U led with ruthless efficiency. The charges are staggering: murder, extortion, human trafficking, and fraud, painting a picture of an organized crime ring that manipulated fear and power throughout Los Angeles.

Court documents reveal a chilling backstory, including allegations that Big U was involved in the 2021 murder of an aspiring rapper who dared to cross him. The victim’s body was discovered in a remote desert, a grim testament to the violent lengths Big U allegedly went to maintain control. Authorities have also uncovered a disturbing pattern of financial fraud, with Big U accused of siphoning funds from his nonprofit organization—meant to help the community—into his own pockets.

As federal agents continue to unravel the web of deceit, the implications of this case are monumental. With ten others arrested and more still being pursued, Big U could face life in prison if convicted. The streets of Los Angeles are holding their breath as this high-profile case unfolds, revealing the dark underbelly of a man once seen as a community leader but now facing the full force of the law. The countdown to his detention hearing on March 31st is on, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
