Some street rappers make up all type of stories just for clout,
but OMB Peezy really lived that life.
He had a wild come up in Alabama,
and last year he got arrested for allegedly shooting at Roddy Ricch
and 42 Dugg while they were filming a music video.
This is the true story of OMB Peezy.
Peezy was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama.
He stayed in the Orange Grove projects with his family,
and saw a lot of crazy stuff growing up.
He started rapping when at just eight years old,
and had battles with his brother and cousin
to see who could write the hardest bars.
The first time he saw somebody die,
Peezy was only nine.
He was chilling at his crib with his brother and their homie.
Peezy was playing Rock Band while his boy was on the couch behind him
playing with a shotgun.
The shotgun accidentally went off,
and Peezy turned around and saw his homie slumped over.
When he was 12, Peezy moved to Sacramento with his mom.
He told the Fader “When I heard California,
I automatically thought LA, palm trees,
everybody friedly, money.”
But his family ain’t have much,
so the trip out there wasn’t easy.
He said “We drove to California in a stolen U-Haul van -
eight or nine thick in there, hot, with a box full of snacks,
and a long couch in the back for three days, all the way there.”
Living in Mobile taught Peezy how to move in the streets.
He said “Mobile part of the struggle.
We don’t have too much of nothing unless you getting it out the streets.
Like growing up down in that mutha*****, it was normal.
You in that s***,
you don’t know an alternative until you see different.”
Before he moved to Sacramento, Peezy thought it was gonna be different out there.
But he started doing the same stuff he was doing back in Mobile,
and got in trouble from the jump.
At first, he was just fighting and robbing people at school.
Then he got booked in juvy on a robbery charge.
Peezy used to steal clothes before school so he’d have a fresh fit for the day,
but it caught up to him and he ended up getting arrested.
When he was 14,
Peezy almost caught a grand theft auto charge
after he stole a golf cart with his homies.
Luckily the charge got reduced,
but by this point the cops already knew who he was.
Peezy was always into music,
but around 17 he started taking it seriously.
He popped off with the track Lay Down in 2016,
and in 2017 he linked up with E-40
and signed to his Sick Wid it Records label.
Later that year he also signed a deal with 300 Entertainment, and his career leveled up.
Peezy hustled in the rap game for a couple years and built a solid fanbase,
but in 2019 he almost got killed in his hometown after a show.
In March 2019,
Peezy opened up for Boosie Badazz in Mobile.
Everything was cool at the show, but the afterparty was turnt up!
A huge fight broke out at some point during the party,
and Peezy saw a dude dressed just like him stomping another dude out.
Peezy and his homies decided to shake before things got worse,
but when they got outside somebody started shooting and hit him in the foot.
According to Peezy, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
He thinks the shooter was trying to get the other dude who had the same outfit,
and Peezy was just unlucky that night.
He told Say Cheese
that the cops actually laughed at him when they pulled up on the scene.
And after he got to the hospital,
they sat him in a room with no painkillers for like three hours before anyone treated him.
He hopped on IG and told his fans
“B**** ass n**** shot me.”
At first nobody knew what was going on,
but his reps told everyone he was good.
After he got out of the hospital,
Peezy let everyone know he wasn’t gonna let it slow him down.
He tweeted "Thank y’all for (the) support (and) prayers
(they) tried to take a n**** out but I'm still standing
(that's) my testimony,
starting a thread for anybody who been (through) (some) real s***
reply with a #testimony.”
Luckily he got out of the situation alive,
but a couple months later rumors started flying that Peezy got his chain snatched!
In June 2019,
Peezy performed at the OKC Summer Fest in Oklahoma City.
At some point during his set he ended up in the crowd,
and somebody allegedly snatched his chain!
Later a dude wearing a mask hopped on social media and took credit for it.
He said “We was outta there.
So I walked up and I was like, ‘B**** ass n****, we got your chain.’
Bro, he was scared,
bro ‘cause he didn’t have his security….
He didn’t have his security.
So he didn’t say nothing.”
Peezy hopped on his IG story later and said it was all cap.
He said “If a n**** don’t know s***, a n***** know what it is with me.”
Last year Peezy did an interview with VladTV and explained what went down.
According to him,
he had a piece on a hollow rope but the rope wasn’t strong enough to hold it
and it broke while Peezy was crowd surfing.
Like I had a hollow rope on my- piece was too heavy for my rope.
So I'm jumping in the crowd and my s*** broke.
You feel it.
He told Vlad that he just started punching everyone around him
because his chain was getting stepped on,
and then somebody snatched it off the ground before he could get it.
Feel every time they step on my chain you feel me?
So I lashed out I get to punching everyone around me.
After building a buzz in the industry,
Peezy switched up how he moved and tried to avoid any situations with the police.
But in March 2021,
he was hit with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime
for allegedly shooting at 42 Dugg and Roddy Ricch!
On February 21st, Ricch and Dugg were shooting a music video in Atlanta
when someone started letting off shots.
Dugg and Ricch didn’t get hit,
but two other dudes got shot and had to be taken to the hospital.
Peezy met Dugg and Ricch the day they were shooting the video,
but he had no idea the cops were coming for him.
After he posted bail,
he told HipHopDX
“I was just trying to figure out what the f*** was going on,
why the police at my door.
Because if I done did anything, I would have been gone.
If I was guilty of anything,
you wouldn’t have caught me at my mutha******’ house,
straight the f*** up.”
Rumors started going around
that Peezy was beefing with Roddy Ricch and 42 Dugg,
but he said “I don’t have no smoke with Roddy Ricch.
I don’t have no smoke with 42 Dugg.
Nobody from CMG, no none of that.
They love me over there in Roddy Ricch hood;
I love them back too.
But you know, the internet will try to run with it
and try to make their own story and s***.
But I don’t have no problem with them people and they don’t have no problem with me.”
Luckily Peezy ended up beating the case this year,
but that wasn’t the only shooting he was allegedly involved with in 2021.
One of Peezy’s homies from Mobile is a rapper named Honeykomb Brazy.
Honeycomb is a wild dude
who shot his own cousin and went to prison at just 13 years old!
He’s been in and out of jail his whole life,
and last year his grandparents were tragically killed by his opps!
On February 17th, 2021,
Brazy’s grandparent’s home got lit up by two shooters.
Neighbors say they heard over 100 shots going off,
then an explosion inside made the whole house go up in flames.
The shooters hit an oxygen tank, which is what blew up and sparked the fire.
Three dudes named Terrance Watkins,
Jamarcus Chambers, and Patrick Lewis
was arrested for the brutal killing -
and now OMB Peezy’s name is getting brought up in court too.
An Assistant DA named Louis Walker
says the shooting went down
because Peezy dissed Watkins on a Facebook post.
The situation is tragic,
but Peezy hopped online to defend himself.
He said “I wasn’t even gone post (this) s***
But (this) s*** ain’t (cool) at all.
Them n****s don’t want me to ball so (they) tryna throw my name in (something).
They no it’s over for (them) so (they) tryna take me (with them).
Ps. I don’t got no beef with nobody. Especially the police.”
Peezy has talked about how the media loves negative attention before.
He’s always giving back to the community
and trying to help people out,
but he says the positive stuff always gets overlooked.
Back when the news broke about the music video shooting,
Peezy had just gave away $20K worth of toys
- but the media never showed that side of him.
And it doesn’t seem likely that Brazy’s grandparents got killed over a post from Peezy.
Brazy has all kinds of beef in Mobile,
Darrin Southall is a drug lord who admitted to making around $24 million
off of cocane and heroin.
Southall ended up getting booked for the murder of Brazy’s grandparents too.
According to the cops,
the other dudes in the case all worked for him and sold drugs too.
Southall is already facing over 30 years on drug charges,
so if he goes down for murder he’ll end up in prison for life.
OMB Peezy is having issues with another rapper from Mobile
named No Cap.
Back in August he went on Cuhmunity podcast
and called him a b****,
but he didn’t air out what was going on behind the scenes.
What is he? Is he opps or is he homies?
I don't know.
Is he opps?
He's a b****.
[Laughing]
Peezy and No Cap have tracks together,
but obviously
something went down that started the beef.
No Cap clapped back on IG and said
“(They) leave it in the interviews
I leave it in the streets,”
with an orange heart emoji.
The orange heart represents the Orange Grove projects where Peezy came up,
so No Cap was letting everyone know who he was talking about.
No Cap is also close to NBA Youngboy
and signed to his Never Broke Again label a few years ago.
Youngboy and Peezy have collabed before too,
but if the beef is foreal
Youngboy will probably side with his artist.
Peezy said he’s still rockin’ with Youngboy,
but if the situation heats up that could definitely change.
Hopefully they let the drama slide and get back to making music.
There’s not a lot of rappers popping off from Mobile,
so Peezy and No Cap could link back up
and really put on for the city if they squash the beef.
Peezy had a wild come up and a lot of close calls,
but he’s obviously trying to leave the streets behind and make it in the rap game.
Luckily he beat the gun charges he got booked on last year,
so now he can focus on the music.
