Big Meech Released

Founded in 1985 by Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and his brother Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory. The brothers quickly built a reputation for BMF and in the early 2000’s they had established a strong cocaine distribution network in the US with ties to Mexican Drug cartels.

By the early 2000s, they had formally established BMF Entertainment. However, this would later be proved to serve as a front for their drug operation. Big Meech and his brother rubbed elbows with notorious celebrities such as, Jay-Z, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Young Jeezy giving them some serious notoriety.

Rapper 50 Cent has been a big advocate of Big Meech and even turned to his son, Demetrius Flenory Jr. to assist him in becoming a legitimate actor. Starring in a show about the events of his father’s life, the show, is respectably called BMF.

For now, Big Meech will serve out the rest of his sentence in a halfway home. His sentence is expected to last until 2030.
