Rapper, Diddy’s cousin sentenced in BMF sting

  • “Big Meech” Flenory (right) was like a big brother to Barima “Bleu DaVinci” McKnight.

NOTE: This post is a slightly longer version of a story that appeared in this week's print edition of Creative Loafing.

The Black Mafia Family continued to unravel last week when a parade of the cocaine ring’s affiliates was sentenced in federal court in Atlanta. Among them were two defendants with strong ties to the hip-hop industry.

What’s more, all but one of the 10 defendants to plead guilty — Deron “D-Shock” "D-Shot" Hall — agreed to share information with the government, further shattering the once ironclad code of silence that blanketed the $270 million drug enterprise. Of the six additional defendants named in the Atlanta indictment [PDF], five are still scheduled for trial, one was convicted at trial and one remains a fugitive.

Darryl “Poppa” Taylor, the first cousin of New York-based music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, received a three-year sentence reduction for his substantial assistance in the government’s investigation into BMF, which was headed by brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory. The Flenorys each received 30-year sentences in a separate case in Detroit.

In a court proceeding last year, Taylor said he was introduced to Terry Flenory by Combs’ chief of security, Paul Buford. Buford was indicted along with the Flenory brothers in 2005, but his case has not been resolved. Combs, who’s been described in court documents as a friend of the Flenorys, hasn’t been accused of any unlawful behavior related to BMF.

Taylor’s attorney, Steve Sadow, told the judge last week that Taylor — in addition to info he shared about Terry Flenory — might be able to offer the government insight into “activities going on in the Northeast.”

Had Taylor not cooperated in the investigation, he would have received a minimum of 10 years in federal prison, where there is no parole. Instead, he got just over seven years.

Barima “Bleu DaVinci” McKnight, the rapper who became the face of the Black Mafia Family’s now defunct record label, was sentenced to five years and four months. The sentence was eight months less than the government’s recommendation, due in part to him agreeing to share information with the feds — although he wasn’t willing to testify against other defendants.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney said that McKnight, by cooperating “fully and truthfully,” qualified for a federal “safety valve,” which allows the judge to hand down a sentence that’s lower than the mandatory minimum. According to federal sentencing law, a safety valve requires that, “not later than the time of the sentencing hearing, the defendant has truthfully provided to the Government all information and evidence the defendant has concerning the offense or offenses.”

By the time McKnight was debriefed early last week, however, the government already had built most of its case against BMF.

“He would have liked to have cooperated if he could have,” McKnight's attorney, David MacKusick, said. “But he didn’t have any useful information.

McKnight released one album, The World is BMF’s, on Big Meech’s record label. He has performed alongside such A-list rappers as Young Jeezy, who also has been linked to BMF. Jeezy hasn’t been charged with a crime in relation to the cocaine crew.

A tearful McKnight told the court he got involved in the BMF record label as a rapper — and took a detour into the BMF cocaine ring. He said “Big Meech” Flenory, who treated him like a little brother, tried to steer him away from the drug trade.

“Demetrius did not show me that part of his world when I first met him,” McKnight said. “I got onto the wrong side of the track.”

Hey Vegaz, I updated the post to correct Deron's nickname. FYI: I also posted a link to the indictment, which is among a handful of court docs that call him "D-Shock." Thanks for the heads-up.

Wow, Im very surprised that you responded back so quickly and really surprised you responded at all. Ive been reading your pieces since sept. 05....I spent a whole summer with BMF making music and hanging out before I went to my first year of college. I love your piece because you show a different light on BMF, you dont pass judgement on them you just show the facts and let people decide for them self. My cousin would be happy for that, they all werent murders, kills and drug dealers some of them just got caught up in the lime light. I know for a fact the FEDS targeted ANY one that boarded a plane with Meech anyone that rode with Meech and anyone that they even thought was too close to them. Very unfair in my eyes. But I guess if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck then the FEDS think its a DUCK. Thank you for responding so quickly and changing his name. Your great and awesome and hope to read alot more.....I think you should do interviews with some of the convicted I speak to a lot of them and they have alot of different views that people would be surprised to hear.

Firstly, Deron did not share any information what so ever with the government...let's get that straigtened out from the door. The reason as to how I know this is because I am his wife and was by his side through this entire tumultuous ordeal and will continue to be.I have been following these articles and others for some time now. I have never felt the need to respond to any of the information being reported (some accurate, some not)until now. I will not stand by and let my husband's character be distorted or questioned in an untruthful manner. This has been the most difficult time for us and I'm sure I speak for all the families involved as well.While the facts will always remain the facts, I can factually say that my husband is as loyal as they come, in every meaning of the word. He has taken his accountability like a man and I am so proud of him... no matter what the circumstances are.At this point in time, all we will do is continue to get through this, put it behind us and continue to positively move on with our lives.

Mara thanks so much for these articles. I have been following the BMF story and I was so shocked when I read some these names (D-hottie, Bleu, JBO Freak...) I used to hang with Deron and Bleu in Miami when they lived down here and even stayed at the house they had!!! Thats why I am shocked to hear all this, its kinda scary, you never know whats really going on. However I can say that both Dshot and Bleu are great guys and I hope that people dont get it twisted like they are heartless criminals who sold drugs...alot of them are good dudes. Thanks Mara, now I will pray for them and their families while they pay their debt to society. Mrs Hall, keep ya head up, Deron actually treated me like a little sister, you have a great man. R.I.P BABY BLEU...Erika take your stupid ass on, you didnt even have to say that he didnt tell you he was married, being messy on the low. so disrepectful!

of course its broads defending, arguing, talking about these dumb thugs! mara i was going to comment on your article but decided to leave this here since it has a few comments i want to make my point. as a black man im sick and disgusted by the bmf, how hard is it to go out and get a real job??! big meech sounds like a smart man, he could have ran a real business, now look at them, crying in somebodys jail! leaving their families weakened and communities destryoed. i have no sympathy for the bmf. they all should have life, and it looks to me that the FAMILY all ratted each other out to save their own asses. i bet if they could they would change their past. so all the young black males dont follow in their footsteps. this is not cool i dont know if you have kids mrs hall but your husband should be ashamed for tearing your family apart and getting involved in this crap, i dont even know how much time he got but if he ever gets out then i hope he can turn his life aroun!!!!!!! im out peace

To Courtney and everyone else who wants to get disrespectful, I am so tired of all of you "girls" thinking that you know so much and most importantly that you meant so much...It's very easy to lay on your back, open your legs and roll for the good times, because believe me that's all that was...But I didn't hear of nor see (with the exception of one)anyone around when times were extremely bad. I was with Deron before and after the fact,I talk with him everyday...several times a day. When you truly love someone it's through it all, and trust I have been there through it all...so please do not disrespect me or my husband and most of all yourself. And contrary to popular belief, Deron and I were legally married at the end of winter 2007. Xtina and Daloupinky, I actually just got off the phone with Deron some minutes ago and although I don't know who you are exactly, I did tell him what was said and he appreciates all of the support and so do I, Thank you so much for your kind wishes.

This dude Deron must really be a BMF: bad mutherfucker! No seriously he must be fine as hell because this is just too ghetto for me. Erika & Courtney are online arguing with his wifey and this guy is locked up. Shame on some of you people! It's really sad, this is a dude that is locked up over his mistakes. Let's be a little more respectful to Mara, his wife and others who support him. It's uncalled for to get on here to act an ass talking like he is out walking around free, he can't defend himself. Now please let's stop the bickering over trivial mess! I don't even know him but god bless him and the whole BMF. Mara I am loving the way you report, cannot wait for the book <3 xoxo April G.

Looks like the entire crew is locked up, I cant even defend them because what they did was wrong but I know some guys in bmf and I think that they wanted to be apart of something big because they are fathers and good husbands. I just think its wrong that a few got caught at first and decided to snitch and talk which led to even more arrests and indictments. Damn you dont ever go against family, and yes they were family, they spent alot of time around each other so why would you snitch?? I dont understand why you would choose this lifestyle and cop out like a punk when you get caught which trust me they all knew this day was coming, just not this soon. Bleu is a punk!!! Willing to tell to cut a few years off ya sentence, stand up like a damn man. are yall sure DSHOT didnt snitch? he is not in federal prison which most of the snitches arent. something is off, can you verify this Mara?

But i REALLY grew up with Deron his my first cousin!!! I remember going to St. Louis and chilln with him on Mcree St. and I know what kinda family he comes from and he wasnt out to hurt nobody just trying to get this cash, I spent a whole night with him in St. Louis when I went to visit in 05, Him Tito, Green light and J-Bo was there to and showed nothing but love and even bought some beats from me. He wanted to help me get on the trap or die mixtape but I couldnt get to Atlanta....anyways like i was saying who cares who he was smashin and all that he never told me he was married but there was a Young lady at the family reunion that was really pretty with a daughter that his mom introduced but she said it was his girlfriend and D-shot did call and I spoke to him and ask how he was doing this was this past August. at the Kazee family reunion 1.

Hi Lamarr, yes I did meet you with my daughter at the family reunion in STL, August with Deron's mother. This is crazy, isn't it? a mess...We planned on getting married right before all this happened... but it just didn't work out that way, so we actually had to go through the feds to get permission and the approval which took some time but it finally got done. I'm glad to see that you too are on here defending & protecting family. To be honest, normally this is not my thing, but my girlfriend told me about this article, and the way it was worded about Deron was accurate, just very unclear. Then I started to read some of the comments and like I knew it would, things started to get misconstrued... and you know I can't have that, so I decided to come on here and set the record straight.By the way, for all the people that are reading this and questioning my husband's character... at the end of the day, like Mara can confirm, all of the discoveries and case reports will eventually be unsealed for public research because that is how the feds operate, they turn one against the other,even after the fact. So the truth will be known at some point...we're not worried, and to Shamira, Deron was placed in a pre-trial facility and was in holding until the government was ready to move forward with the case, plea agreements, sentencings, etc.for ALL of the people on his indictment, they just don't do it on an individual basis. So moving forward, he will be sent to a federal prison to do the duration of his time. Lamarr, hope we can see each other soon, so we can talk. D left his cd's in my truck when we all went down to ATL, I told Maine I was at some point, when I get time, going to drop it off to them at Dad's house. If you can get the house number, call me and I'll let you know when I'll be there. Take care of yourself until then.

How far behind r u willing to get on your morgage,car note and credit card bills before u take action. How many white people must slam the door n your BLACK FACE before u get the message. They look out for their own kind, they would rather hire an under qualified white male for the job before they even consider a qualified BLACK MALE.

Let me interject and put my two sense in. Crazysexycool, I understand where you are coming from, Iam black male who is a college graduate and having a hard time finding a job, BUT you cannot tell me that your cousin was sitting back working like a regular citizen for YEARS, then something happened and he woke up like let me call big meech and see if I can get a job. NO that sounds crazy, all BMF did was UNITE already accomplished drug dealers from around the world. He may have a college degree and be a great person but his hidden agenda was selling drugs. Now I dont like too judge people and I'm not doing that at all, I respect his family coming on here talking on behalf of him but we must all be real. I am not hating on him at all, I dont know him and I dont doubt that he is a good person who caught up. I know about bills and all that, but it has never made me turn to the streets. Now when he gets out, if he is, it will be harder to find a job than when he went in. An educated black male with a nickname like Dshot from BMF is not a good look.

I already said I wasn't taking it there, I gave my blessings to him and his girlfriend MRSHALL. i wasnt trying to be disrespectful at all because i had a relationship w/ Deron..I met him in Miami and no I wasnt by his side while he was going through this because we werent together silly girls. I still have all the love for him in the world married or not, I dont care. I'm happy he has found a woman who has morals and stood by him, he deserves that and more. I was just shocked that she said they were MARRIED and I'm shocked at the other women comments as well. It's also funny that he has more comments than big meech and bleu combined!! lol. I love you Deron

U r wrong Ace my cousin was a hard working citizen all his life. He was introduced to that life style thru a so called friend and got caught up n a HELL of a MESS I can HONESTLY say that. And yes a majority of them were already drug dealers but my cousins had a squeaky clean record NOT EVEN A TICKET ...... FREE D-SHOT

Thank you cousin for the love... that means more to me than you'll ever know. Erika, just know, no one can judge you but God...it's all good. But one thing I must correct you on, I am his WIFE not his girlfriend... I earned that title and that's how I expect to be addressed. And what's to be so shocked about? People grow and move on... That is the thing we call life.

No you didn't crazysexycool, I respect your comments and his wifes comments. All the other comments just didn't make any sense, arguing over sex and who his woman is; really childish. thanks for taking the high road and saying something meaningful. I hope I didn't offend you with my opinion. ONE

Before I go, I think his wife is extremely classy and Mara thanks again for keeping up with all of this. Very interesting to say the least.
