NBA Youngboy and Fredo Bang
got Baton Rouge turnt up.
But Now,
both these rappers are sittin down
lookin at some time.
Let’s run through Fredo Bangs rap sheet
and his come up to bein TBG’s
Top Enforcer
Fredo Bang is a rapper from Baton Rouge Louisiana,
known for tracks like "Oouuh"
and "Top" featuring Lil Durk.
But growing up,
Fredo couldn’t stay out of trouble
or out of the streets.
Fredo’s older brothers
were heavy in the streets
and in and out of prison while he was growing up.
Baton Rouge is a wild city
and it aint too many legal ways to get money
which means higher crime rates.
Fredo calls it a death trap
that leaves dudes like him with little options but to get it out the mud.
Fredo first clicked up with his homie
and future collaborator Gee Money in fourth grade.
Around that same time,
he also started hangin with his boy Krazy Trey.
When he first started rapping,
he linked up with Gee Money for tracks like "iPhone 6" and "Rainy Days."
Later on
they both became members of the gang and record label,
Top Boy Guerillas or TBG.
It’s funny cuz
back in the day
NBA Youngboy was from TBG too.
He was close to Gee Money's younger bro Lil Hurk.
And When Youngboy was first hopped off the porch and got in the streets,
Gee Money was like a mentor to him.
So,
the first mixtape that Youngboy ever released
– Life Before Fame
came out under TBG.
But around that time
iPhone 6 was the hottest song on the streets of Baton Rouge.
It had verses from Gee Money,
Fredo,
Blvd Mel
and YMM Captain.
Even though Youngboy wasn’t on the song,
you can see him in the background of the music video
with his brother OG 3Three.
So at the time,
Gee Money was the star of the TBG label,
with Fredo as a close second.
Youngboy ain’t feel like his talent was getting the credit it deserved,
cuz his first mixtape
aint really do much.
So he decided to go independent
and start his own clique,
Never Broke Again.
When he left TBG,
they was still on good terms.
But once Youngboy went solo,
he started throwin shots at his old homies,
specifically Gee Money.
At one point,
he let it be known that Gee Money smashed his sister,
which Gee later confirmed was true.
So it wasn’t an all-out war just yet,
but tension was building.
By that point,
Fredo and the rest of TBG
was already runnin up millions of plays on YouTube and other streaming platforms.
But problems with the law
would keep him from taking his career to the next level and getting out the hood.
Fredo caught his first charge in 2014
for second-degree battery
after he broke this dudes nose in a fight back when he was in college.
This led to him being forced to drop out just to fight the case.
Then,
his Day 1 homie Krazy Trey
was killed at Fredo’s birthday party.
Two other people was also killed in the shooting
and a fourth was injured but survived.
A 17-year-old named Nakeydran Williams
later pled guilty to three murders
and one attempted murder
and got sentenced to 40 years.
Trey was one of Fredo’s closest homies,
so his death hit hard.
So This just pushed him deeper into the streets,
to numb the pain of losing his boy.
But he kept dropping tracks
and was building a major buzz in the city.
His track "Thuggin" went viral
and racked up millions of views.
But right when his career was bout to take off,
Fredo got arrested again
and spent the next few years locked down.
In January 2016,
he was arrested and charged
with attempted second-degree murder,
after a shooting that happened in November.
According to the police,
Fredo was at the crib
when he got into an argument with the victim and a second suspect.
After that
they went to the victims apartment on the 4300 Block of Denham Street,
where they started fighting again.
It went from 0 to 100,
when the second suspect pulled out a gun
and Fredo went and grabbed his burner from the car.
They got into a shootout
and a random car with someone in it,
ended up getting hit.
Fredo and the other dude fled the scene in Fredo’s whip
but they crashed into another car
while tryna get away.
Fredo was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder,
illegal use of a weapon
and aggravated criminal damage to property.
At first,
they gave him a bond of $70,000,
which he posted and then got released.
But the cops ended up finding a gun in his whip
that wasn tied to some other shootings.
So, they ended up revoking his bail
and he had to sit down until the trial.
They was tryna give him a max of 45 years if convicted
and he’d spend several years fighting the case.
Plus,
he was still out on bond
for the battery charge from 2014.
But he lucked up
and ended up getting his charges reduced to illegal use of a firearm
and criminal damage to property from attempted murder.
He copped 7 years for the criminal damage to property
and two years for the gun charges,
to run back to back.
He got released after about 2.5 years,
with 5 years of parole.
In an interview with Say Cheese TV,
Fredo said he got into like 20 fights while locked up
and came out of every one on top.
He was eventually released in 2018.
But while he was locked up,
he lost another close homie to the streets.
In September 2017,
Gee Money got shot and killed leaving a recording studio in Baton Rouge.
Whats crazy is
on the night he was killed,
Fredo was supposed to be gettin out.
He and Gee Money was supposed to link up,
after Fredo got out.
But when news broke that the Gee Money got killed,
the prison staff thought it was too dangerous to let Fredo out
feeling like he might either kill someone
or get killed himself
so instead of being released that night
they kept him in for 6 more months.
Now after losing two of his Day 1s to gun violence
Gee Money and Krazy Terry
Fredo was getting tired of the street life.
Before he went to jail,
TBG and Gee Money was still cool with NBA.
Youngboy aint blow up on a national level yet
and no blood was spilled on either side.
But when he got out
it was a whole different story.
Youngboy and Gee Money
continued to take shots at each other back and forth.
This eventually led Gee Money
to drop the diss track "Industry"
(Youngboy Never Again Response),
where he responded to all the threats and accusations Youngboy made over the years.
The track was released in late August
but then two weeks later,
Gee Money was dead.
NBA Youngboy and his camp
were closely investigated by police for Gee Money’s death.
In 2021,
an NBA affiliate named NBA Pap
was arrested and charged with the rapper’s murder.
So after Gee Money got killed,
the beef between NBA and TBG
went from diss songs to bodies dropping.
Over the next few years,
multiple members from both sides
would lose they lives in this deadly beef.
After Gee Money passed,
TBG lost its most famous rapper.
Its second and third most famous artists
Fredo Bang
and another dude named BLVD Quick,
was both still locked up.
So another member of TBG,
who they call Lit Yoshi would step up
and keep applying pressure to NBA,
while his homies was locked up.
But Lit Yoshi wasn’t just a rapper
he was really one of TBG’s main shooters.
So he aint only take the responsibility of dissing them on wax,
but he was really out there in the field too.
In May 2018,
NBA Youngboy’s manager,
a dude who went by the name Dump,
was gunned down
while talking to family and friends in his front yard in Baton Rouge.
He wasn’t even involved in the streets like that
besides managing Youngboy.
So they already knew it was tied to the beef between NBA and TBG.
Lit Yoshi was later arrested in connection with Dump’s murder.
He allegedly did the hit
with fellow TBG rapper BLVD Quick.
Then Just a few months later,
BLVD Quick gets knocked off outside his home at the Lakeside Villa Apartments.
No arrests have been made in connection with BLVD Quick’s murder,
but the police this it was get back for the murder of Dump.
But all while this was going down,
Fredo stayed out the way and left Baton Rouge after getting out of prison.
He would still diss Youngboy on social media
and in music
and They got into it on social media
after found out they was dropping they projects on the same day.
When Youngboy announced the release date for his album Top,
Fredo posted on his story with the caption
“Guess Me and my son droppin on the same day”
with two laughing emojis.
Youngboy aint like the disrespect
and called him out on IG live.
Fredo just continued to clown him
and tell his fans to go buy Youngboy’s album
cause he sounds pretty mad.
But Other than that,
Fredo has stayed out of the beef and tried to focus on his music.
But staying out the way
aint keep him out of trouble completely.
He was recently arrested after
police raided his crib looking for his boy Lit Yoshi.
Lit Yoshi’s killing spree on the streets of Baton Rouge came to an end in 2020
when he was arrested and charged
with seven counts of attempted murder.
They connected him to the murder of Dump,
where another woman was also shot
but survived.
They also connected Lit Yoshi
to a shooting in Miami
that left several people injured
and one dead.
Youngboy was the target
and it happened when he was leaving the Trump International Hotel
where he was staying.
Youngboy aint get touched
but his girlfriend at the time was hit in the shoulder.
So in total,
Yoshi was facing 7 attempted murders,
with new charges
popping up left and right.
Yoshi posted a 1.8 million dollar bond
and was staying with Fredo at his crib in Miami.
In July 2021,
the SWAT team raided they spot
after gettin a tip that Lit Yoshi was involved in another shooting
that had happened in Slidell, Louisiana in 2020.
Policee say, an NBA affiliate
was the target of the shooting
and was hit along with another person,
after a driver in another car
shot into they car.
Some think the target was Youngboy’s cousin, NBA Meechy
and that he cooperated with police to take Lit Yoshi down.
But this aint been proven
and its just street rumors.
But our video
“Fredo Bang and Lit Yoshi snitched on By NBA Affiliate”
will give you all the info you need to know about this case
so go peep that if you wanna know more.
While the police was raiding the house
looking for Lit Yoshi,
they found a stolen car,
body armor,
and three illegal guns.
Because they was found in Fredo’s crib,
he was arrested with Yoshi and brought into police custody.
Since he’s a convicted felon,
Fredo aint allowed to be in possession of either guns or body armor.
And he definitely not supposed to have a stolen car.
Fredo’s bodyguards came forward
and said the body armor was theirs.
Fredo’s lawyers also said
he had no idea the car was stolen.
So
he aint in as much trouble as his boy Lit Yoshi.
But he's still going through it.
He had his court date on July 23rd,
where a judge denied him a bond.
So, he gon stay locked up for now.
And since he was on parole in Louisiana,
the charge he is facing is in his home state, not Florida.
He was supposed to be sent back to Louisiana for the trial.
But this all got delayed
after he caught COVID in August
while in Miami Dade Correctional Center.
It don’t seem like the charges against Fredo Bang are too serious
and he’ll probably get them dropped
or be released with time served at his next court date.
But it also seems
like the Justice System is trying to go hard on him,
maybe to get him to talk.
They already got a Fed investigation into NBA,
and it seems like any day now
they could hit them with a RICO charge.
They also goin just as hard on Lit Yoshi
and it seems like the Feds and the police in Baton Rouge
want all these rappers locked up for as long as possible.
So far
Fredo has kept it solid
and it don’t seem likely he’ll snitch if he’s only facing a probation violation.
But, this case is still ongoing,
so tap in for updates.
