SchoolBoy Q's appearance on Drink Champs, last year, is resurfacing on social media in the wake of Eugene "Big U" Henley facing a RICO charge in Los Angeles. Prosecutors accuse Henley of running a "mafia-like" organization that required visitors to the city to "check-in" and pay a fee in order to receive protection while in town. The complaint also accuses him of allegedly being involved in murder, human trafficking, robbery and extortion.
While appearing on Drink Champs, SchoolBoy Q joked about hating the act of "checking in." "Everybody be checking in. That's y'all favorite thing to do. Check in with somebody that's going to rob your stupid ass," he said at the time. "You think the guy that you don't know motherf*cker in California got your back? The guy that got beef with other hoods, you're checking in with that dude? Go to the hotel, get you something to eat, go back to the hotel, go have some fun where sh*t is fun. Why do you want to go over there? For what? Don't call me. Motherf*ckers have the nerve to call me sometimes. Like what are you talking about bro? I'm playing video games, my daughter got a soccer game tomorrow, bro. I'm not about to drive over there."
Who Is Eugene "Big U" Henley?
Eugene "Big U" Henley was among 18 alleged members of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips street gang named in a massive federal racketeering complaint, last week. Authorities have long accused the 58-year-old of being the leader of the infamous Crips gang in Los Angeles. Before turning himself in, he labeled the charges “bull crap” and “straight trash" in a video on Instagram.
US Attorney Joseph T. McNally said in an announcement of the charges that Big U has “maintained the image of an entertainment industry entrepreneur running a music label and of somebody who gives back to the community here in Los Angeles. The facts alleged in the complaint paint a very different picture. It is one of a murderer, a thief, a liar and a cheat and the criminals that enabled him.”
