Lit Yoshi is a wild dude.
He was one of TBG’s top shooters
but now
he facin at least 7 attempted murder charges.
Let’s break down the come up
and career of Lit Yoshi.
Mieyoshi Edwards
aka Lit Yoshi
is a rapper from Baton Rouge Louisiana.
He’s from the Top Boy Gorillas,
or TBG
who run North Baton Rouge,
while BBG or Bottom Boy Gorillas
run the south side of the city.
Yoshi built his name up
by being one of the most feared shooters from TBG
who would wild out over anything.
He got a bar in one song where he say
he willing to step on Jesus,
just to prove he really wasn’t the one to try.
TBG’s main rappers was Gee Money,
Fredo Bang
and BLVD Quick.
At first,
Lit Yoshi wasn’t even a rapper,
he was just a shooter from the gang.
But a few incidents happened to where Lit Yoshi became a rapper
and held it down for TBG.
First, his boy Fredo Bang would get locked up in 2016.
BLVD Quick would also get jammed up around that same time
for a probation violation after catching a case for heroin possession.
Then in 2017,
Gee Money got killed
after dissing NBA Youngboy on the track “Industry”.
So Lit Yoshi was damn near the only one left
to really keep TBG in motion.
With Gee Money dead
and both Fredo and BLVD Quick locked up,
Lit Yoshi became a rapper to apply pressure on NBA and BBG
in both the streets and the booth.
Then once Fredo and BLVD Quick came home,
it was an all out war.
TBG got payback for Gee Money
less than a year after his murder,
by gettin NBA Youngboy’s manager Desmond Hardnett, aka Dump.
On May 7th, 2018,
Dump was in his front lawn
talkin with family and friends,
when a car pulled up and started letting off shots.
Like five or six witnesses just watched as Dump got hit several times,
along with a woman who was standing next to him.
They were rushed to the hospital,
and the woman would survive
but Dump died.
Dump’s murder shocked his friends and family
because he wasn’t involved in the street life, other than managing Youngboy.
He used to work in construction and landscaping,
before jumpin into the music industry.
He managed one of the most famous rappers from Baton Rouge
NBA Youngboy
and that affiliated him with the gang, which got him killed.
So,
his death was a tragic loss for NBA
and this continued to heat to things up with TBG.
It was said that Lit Yoshi was behind the hit,
with the help of BLVD Quick.
But it was only a matter of time before NBA would get revenge
and BLVD quick got knocked off.
On November 26th, 2018,
police found BLVD Quick dead
at an apartment complex off 1-12 in Baton Rouge.
Police responded to a call to the Lakeside Villa Apartments
around 12:30 am and in the parking lot,
they found the body of 25-year-old Ashton Wells,
aka BLVD Quick.
Quick got out of jail just a little over 6 months
before he was killed.
Due to his affiliations,
police connected his death to the war between NBA and TBG.
So,
the war was getting hot
and both sides was losing members left and right.
After the death of BLVD Quick,
Lit Yoshi went on a shooting spree that landed him in the legal situation he’s in now
facing more than 7 attempted murders.
In April 2019,
Yoshi was allegedly involved
in a shooting outside of an AM Mart on Highland Road.
Members from BBG and NBA
was standing in the parking lot
when someone in a car started shooting at them with an automatic rifle.
A victim from the drive-by later identified Yoshi as the shooter.
Then, in May 2019,
NBA Youngboy and his crew
was shot at outside the Trump International Hotel in Miami.
Youngboy was in town to perform at Rolling Loud
and was walking out of the hotel when a car drove by
and started bustin off shots.
Youngboy wasn't hit,
but his girlfriend was shot in the shoulder
and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
A family walking through the parking lot at the time was also grazed by bullets,
including a 5-year-old boy,
but they wasn’t seriously injured and got treated and released on the scene.
But A 43-year-old man named Mohammed Jradi,
got hit by a stray bullet and died from his injuries.
Police first thought the shooting had to do with the beef
between Youngboy and Tee Grizzley.
The two had recently collabed on a song together,
but later started arguing over money.
But they later said Tee Grizzley wasn’t involved
and they connected the shooting to the war with TBG.
Police said they tracked a phone call
between Lit Yoshi and another TBG member who was locked up.
They found out
that not only was Yoshi in Miami,
but also by the Trump hotel.
At first,
There wasn’t enough evidence to charge him, but a judge recently ruled
that the shooting can be used in the case he's currently fighting.
But Lit Yoshi ain’t stop there
and continued to run up the score for TBG by going after high-ranking members of BBG
one by one.
In April 2020,
he was involved in a shooting that was captured on surveillance footage.
The shooting happened outside an apartment building
on Hanks Drive.
The video shows Lit Yoshi
and another dude firing at someone off-screen.
Police said,
Yoshi and his associates pulled up in a Jeep Cherokee
and then hopped out and started shooting
when they saw their opp.
They ended up hitting their target but he ain't die.
Come to find out, that target was NBA Pap,
a top member of NBA.
In 2021,
Pap was arrested in connection to the murder of Gee Money.
So Yoshi must’ve found out who killed his boy before the police did,
and he took care of it himself.
Lit Yoshi was a real demon.
He committed another shooting just a few months later
on the 4th of July.
This shooting took place at the Mallard Crossing Apartment Complex
on Greenwell Springs Road.
Four people were inside a car
two adults in the front and two kids in the back.
Another car pulled up beside them and started dumpin off shots.
Everyone in the car got hit
including the children.
But they injuries wasn’t life threatening and they all survived.
But shooting up a car full of kids
was what really made Baton Rouge PD decide to crack down on Lit Yoshi
before anyone else got hit.
Police caught him by finding one of the rental cars he used in the shooting.
The rental was registered to Lit Yoshi’s girlfriend in Tickfaw, Louisiana.
Baton Rouge got the help from the police in Tickfaw
and tracked down the car with Yoshi still inside it.
They searched the vehicle and found two guns,
which matched the description from the shooting in July.
Then later they searched his apartment
and found shoes that matched the ones from the April shooting on Hanks Drive.
With all this evidence,
they was able to charge Yoshi with 7 attempted murders
4 counts for the July shooting
and 3 for the April shooting since NBA Pap
was with two other people when it happened.
So,
he is facing a total of 7 attempted murders
as well as multiple gun charges.
That’s not even including
all the other cases Lit Yoshi is a suspect in
but don’t have enough evidence to convict him
like the murder of NBA Dump
and the two other shootings in Miami and the one outside the AM Mart.
But a lot of these cases gon be taken to court
and more charges could come if they find new evidence
or someone starts talking.
Yoshi got released on a $1.8 million-dollar bond
and went live with Fredo Bang, who was released back in 2018.
But police aint letting up on Lit Yoshi,
even while he is fighting all these cases.
In July 2021,
they raided Fredo's crib in Miami
and arrested Lit Yoshi again
for an attempted murder that happened in Slidell, Louisiana
in 2020.
Even though they was originally only there for Yoshi,
They also arrested Fredo Bang on separate charges
after searching his home
and finding guns and a stolen car.
Police say, a victim and another person
were in a parked car outside of an apartment complex,
when someone ran up on em and started shooting.
Court paperwork revealed
that the target was a member of the NBA camp
but it also said that there was a video online
where Yoshi accused the victim of being a snitch.
Fans were quick to do some research and find out that the target
was likely Youngboy’s cousin NBA Meechy.
There is a video online
where Yoshi calls out Meechy for cooperating with police.
Plus,
NBA Meechy made his own video where he denies that he’s a snitch
but at the same time confirm he was the target of the shooting.
But dude probably should have just kept his mouth closed
because he also admits he was called to testify.
Tap in with our video on Fredo Bang and Lit Yoshi
“snitched on” by NBA Affiliate for more info on this charge.
So,
things aint really looking too great for Lit Yoshi at the moment.
Right now,
he’s lookin at somewhere between 10 and 50 years
for the seven attempted murder charges
and this new case will only add more time.
Then if the police can connect him to any of the other shootings or murders,
he could be doin life.
With Fredo Bang locked up along with him,
there’s no one else from TBG to help pay lawyer fees
and Yoshi is facing some expensive cases.
I guess Baton Rouge PD
was fed up with the violence in the city
and decided to crack down on both sides.
It’s a shame all that musical talent went to waste
fighting a pointless beef.
But too much blood had already been spilled for either side to let it go
so the only way it end is with everybody dead or in jail.
More info will probably come out once Lit Yoshi goes to court,
so stay posted for updates.
