A couple years ago,
Problem Child5 got out of prison and signed a million dollar deal with Future.
The Atlanta native got the chance to completely change his life,
but he couldn’t stay out of the streets
and now, he’s facing five murder charges!
This is the wild story of Problem Child5.
Problem Child came up on the Eastside of Atlanta in zone 6.
Not much is known about his early life,
but he jumped off the porch at a young age
and has been arrested 13 times since ‘08.
He hasn’t talked much about his family life in public,
but in 2020 he went on the Ugly Money podcast
and revealed that an Atlanta legend was like a father figure to him.
He out, he been there since like,
before I was born.
So he's always been like a father figure to me
Big Bank is a major player in the Atlanta rap scene.
He’s the CEO of Duct Tape Entertainment
and is locked in with huge artists like Future,
Young Thug, and Playboi Carti,
and he’s also affiliated with the Homixide crew.
According to Problem,
Big Bank has been around his whole life.
And when he was coming up, Problem got tight with Bank’s son
Lil 1 DTE and another dude from Homixide named Big Sosa.
Problem first got locked up in 2008
and ever since then,
he’s always been in and out of jail.
He told the Ugly Money podcast that he would be in the studio for a month straight
and stay out of trouble,
but he always ended up going back to the streets.
I just used to be always showing like bro.
Just in the studio just like.
I'll go like,
a month straight making something.
Then I'd be like man I gotta get back to the streets bro
I told them like bruh,
I'm serious this time bro cause,
I don't like ain't nothing else.
This the way, if everybody up I know I can do it.
Back in the day Problem and the rest of the dudes from DTE
were close with another rapper from zone 6 named Ola Runt.
Ola had a wild come up just like Problem,
and was always getting into trouble as a kid.
He got hit with a five year sentence for robbery at just 16,
and started rapping behind bars.
Ola got out in 2018 and got straight to dropping tracks.
It didn’t take long for him to build a buzz,
and by 2019 he already had Gucci Mane’s attention with the track Feel Like Guwop.
Gucci hopped on a remix of the track and helped put Ola on the map,
and then he tried to sign him to his new 1017 label.
Ola was already signed to Cinematic Music Group
but Guwop tried to buy his contract out anyway.
Fans thought the deal was done when they saw Ola rocking a 1017 chain,
but then the deal fell through
and Ola stuck with Cinematic instead.
According to him the deal wasn’t right for him,
and Gucci sent the 1017 chain without them even meeting each other.
That's when issues between Ola, Problem, and the rest of DTE allegedly kicked off.
It’s rumored that Bank was tripping on Ola’s pops
when he signed to Cinematic instead of DTE.
Ola’s dad is affiliated with the Front Street Henchmen
and helped him get started in the rap game.
When Ola got out of prison,
his dad turned his car lot into a studio to help support his music career.
According to Big Bank,
everything started when Ola asked him for a feature
and Bank turned him down.
That’s when Ola dropped the track Mobbfather and aired out Big Bank.
He rapped “P**** n**** you ain’t it
Heard you got Big Bank turned him to a lick
How the f*** you a dope boy if you ain’t sold s***
Moved to the three got ran out the six, damn.”
Ola allegedly took shots at Bank’s son Lil 1 DTE too with the line
“He get kidnapped
Don’t get your kid snatched
Rather die in the pen,
feel like thug life, shot at the reverend.”
And on the hook,
Ola said Bank would rat and said
“Snatch up your love,
and make the godfather gon’ call the cops.”
Big Bank is called the godfather of Atlanta by a lot of people,
so Ola was calling him out directly.
After the track dropped,
a video of Ola getting arrested at Lennox Mall
started going around on social media,
and in the clip Ola accused Big Bank of calling the cops on him.
Big Banks you the police too man.
Make sure you post that s*** man,
Tell Big Bank a rat man.
Bank clapped back on IG Live and called Ola and his dad broke.
Then Ola responded and dragged Problem Child into the beef.
Ola went Live and aired out Problem for allegedly having a good childhood.
According to Ola, Problem’s dad was a preacher who cooked food -
while Ola’s pops cooked crack.
Ay Problem Child your daddy name Big O,
Big O is a preacher.
Y'all heard Big O is a preacher man, man.
Big O is a preacher and he's a chef.
He cook food, no dope, you heard me.
My father cooked dope you heard me, your father cooked food, n**** talk about.
He also claimed that Bank started hooking up with Problem’s mom
when she was just 14 and Bank was in his 20s.
Big Banks started f***** your momma when she was like 14.
And he was like in his 20s.
So that s*** like you his step-child.
You feel me.
Problem ain’t let the disrespect slide
and he hopped in the booth and recorded a diss against Ola called Pee Pee’s Son.
On the track he said
“Catch a Henchman out there slippin’, hit ‘em with that .223
Could’a hit lil Ola but he took off up the street.”
At first it was just social media beef,
but in June 2020
tragedy struck and Homixide took a massive loss.
Problem’s homie Big Sosa was allegedly murdered over a dice game,
and Problem was allegedly with him the day it all happened.
Right after, Problem hopped on IG and wrote
“i died with you sosa
brudda it’s my fault I shouldn’t never left you bruh
why the f*** I pull offffff Sosa bruh I’m so so sorry.”
Problem had just announced his $1 million deal with Future and Big Bank,
but his homie was killed before they could make it out of the streets.
He dropped the track A LETTER TO BIGG SOSA
to pay respect and talk about how his death affected him.
Problem rapped “How the f*** them n****s left Sosa right there on the ground?
How the f*** you think I feel man? That shit just crushed my smile.”
Losing your homie to violence is bad enough,
but then the situation got even worse when the opps started dissing Sosa.
Ola and his boy 24lefteye both took shots at Sosa on social media,
which is allegedly why 24lefteye ended up getting shot.
24lefteye caught a couple of rounds and got sent to the hospital,
then Big Bank’s son Lil 1 DTE
went live with Problem Child and took credit for the hit.
The war between Homixide and the Henchmen was heating up,
but Playboi Carti put the beef on the map for everyone to see.
When Carti released his album Whole Lotta Red,
he aired out Ola and the Henchmen on the track Stop Breathin’.
He rapped “Ever since my brother died
Ever since my brother died
I’ve been thinkin’ bout homicide I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout homicide.”
Carti and Sosa was locked in,
and Carti even changed his Twitter handle to RIP SOSA after he died.
He also shouted out Problem Child and some other dudes from Homixide on the track
and said “Free Lil’ Tip, Free Migo Bliff
Free all my guys, free Problem Child
I been with lil Demon and lil Beno and R5
Ridin’ in a tank on 285.”
Carti never had a reputation as a real gutter street rapper,
but he aired out the Henchmen with the line
“On the way to Front Street, who say we ain’t outside?
Smokin’ on the Henchmen got a n**** fried
I’m hangin’ with the Pirus, hangin’ with the Fives
I got mob ties, I got f*****’ mob ties.”
Then Carti called Ola out by name and said
“I got n****s in chain gang on my side
I had n****s shank Ola for a pie.”
A dude from the Henchmen named Benji Blue Bills
clapped back with a diss called Stop Bleedin
and accused Problem of backdooring Sosa.
He said “yo homie killed yo homie
I guess you ain’t know,”
because there was rumors that Problem was actually the one who killed Sosa.
There’s no evidence to back the claim up,
but that didn’t stop the opps from using it against the Homixide crew.
In November 2020
Problem dropped his debut project King Opp.
His track Sticks Up with Future racked up millions of plays,
and his collab with Young Thug popped off too.
Problem said he had left the streets behind and was ready to take over the rap game.
But just when it looked like everything was turning around for him,
Problem suffered another tragedy.
In August 2021,
Problem’s homie R5 Homixide
allegedly took his own life in the studio.
Problem hopped on IG and said
“Who tf gone watch my back now.
Take me with you twin.”
R5 had just started coming up in the rap game,
but according to rumors he had problems with pills
and Sosa’s death took a major toll on him.
Last year Problem Child’s career hit another speed bump
when he got locked up on a parole violation.
But the situation got even worse when the news broke
that he’s facing five murder charges.
There’s not much info out about the cases,
but one of the bodies he’s allegedly responsible for
is a dude named Chad Billingslea.
Police claim, back in 2019
Problem allegedly caught Billingslea at a gas station
and started letting off shots with a rifle.
According to police,
Billingslea had a connection to whoever shot him
but it’s not clear how it all went down.
With five murder charges hanging over him,
it's pretty unlikely Problem Child will ever get out.
And now the whole Homixide crew might be taken down too.
A reporter from Atlanta named George Chidi
reposted a clip of Problem Child going Live from the Fulton County jail.
He wrote “This is Mikel Gunn,
the rapper ProblemChild5, IN FULTON COUNTY JAIL.
P5 is an East Atlanta gangster affiliated with DTE and Homixide.
He's made music with Future.
Gunn is accused of killing 5 people.”
And according to Chidi,
the District Attorney’s office confirmed that Homixide
is “one of several street gangs on a road to a racketeering charge.”
Rap fans were shocked when Young Thug,
Gunna, and the rest of the YSL crew were targeted in a RICO case earlier this year,
and now Carti’s homies could be next.
Georgia ain’t playing around with their RICO cases,
and there’s a good chance that Carti could get wrapped up in it
even if he ain’t commit no crimes.
When it comes to RICOs,
just being associated with the dudes breaking the law
could have the cops coming for you too.
So hopefully Carti has a good legal team who’s ready to fight back.
Problem Child is already in a bad situation,
and now if he gets RICO charges added on top of the alleged bodies -
there’s almost no way he’s coming home.
