HoneyKomb Brazy is one of the hottest artists from Alabama. But, the rapper has also had a
pretty rough come-up that has included spending over 10 years in prison, going
viral for getting shot on IG Live, and having to deal with the brutal murder of his grandparents,
who were both killed and had their house set on fire. Now, the rapper will be going back
to prison after being sentenced to 13.5 years for violating his probation by posing in a music video
with guns and drugs. Let’s take a closer look at the wild life and career of HoneyKomb Brazy.
Brazy grew up in Mobile, Alabama. An area that was full of drugs,
crime, and violence. The rapper’s parents were in and out of jail while he was growing up
and he often stayed with his grandparents.
At age 10, he was arrested for the first time after breaking into a factory
and riding go-karts with his friends until the police came. After that, he was put on probation.
Brazy said that he didn’t even make it to high school, which his mom wasn’t happy about
But there wasn’t much she could say, because she was in and out of jail herself.
after that he went and stayed with his aunt for a while but ended up shooting
his own cousin over a money dispute Woah, wait wait you shot your cousin?
yeah yeah yeah yeah. Like on accident?
no like on purpose
He said there was a business situation between his
cousin and his dad, where some money came up missing
His dad was locked up at the time on a murder charge so Brazy handled the dispute for him.
The cousin ended up paralyzed after the shooting, which caused problems between Brazy and his aunt.
But, he says that his cousin is back to walking and their relationship is fine now.
He was only 13 at the time of the shooting and ended up going on the run before getting arrested.
This would be the first time he was sent to prison and wouldn’t get out until he was 16 or 17.
Right after being released, he would get caught up in another situation where he was arrested for
first-degree robbery and attempted murder. Brazy says that he didn’t actually commit
this crime, it was his friend Derrick “Det” Thomas who pulled the trigger.
They were together on the day of the robbery and police reports show that the victim was walking
down the street when he was approached by two teens. They stopped and talked for a few minutes
until one of them pulled out a gun and shot him in the leg. The other teen grabbed the money out
of his pockets and they both ran away. The two robbers were later identified as Det and Brazy.
Det was the one who actually shot the victim, but because Brazy was more well known,
they ended up arresting him first. But, on the day that Brazy appeared
in court to face these charges, Det would end up getting murdered.
He was shot and killed over a $5 dice game by a 40-year-old man named Anthony Williams.
Brazy would end up doing four years for that charge. But as soon as he got back on the streets,
he went right back to his old ways, and caught another body. In February 2016,
just after Brazy was released for the robbery and attempted murder,
he allegedly shot 22-year-old Ladarius “Stank” Moorer, who was a childhood friend.
Stank was shot and killed at the Woodlands Apartments where he lived with his girlfriend.
He showed up to their apartment and his girlfriend didn’t want to let him in.
He ended up kicking down the door and found Brazy inside, who was supposedly there to sell her weed.
They started fighting and eventually, someone pulled a gun, leaving Stank dead.
This murder earned Brazy a ton of enemies in his hood, because Stank was well-known
and loved in the area. Brazy went on the run for a while but
was eventually arrested and charged for the murder. He would end up beating the
charge but would spend over a year in jail fighting the case. While he was in jail,
he would get into tons of fights and even admitted to stabbing three people in one day
Yeah I stabbed three ***** in one day
Plus, he would even end up getting to spend some quality time with his family, spending six months
in the same cell as his father, who was still serving time for murder. Brazy and his father have
the same first name, but different last names, so the jail staff didn’t even know they were related.
Brazy somehow got the murder charge overturned, but as soon as he was back on the streets,
there was more problems. Stank's murder had turned his own hood against him and many of his childhood
friends were now his opps. Once he got out, Brazy would end up getting shot several times.
One of the bullets hit him in the head, putting him into a coma for a week
and the doctors said that he would probably never walk again.
But, after a few months, the rapper was back on the streets and planning his revenge on the
people that almost took his life. It was also around this time that he started booking studio
time and decided to take rap more seriously. In June 2018, he dropped a track called Freestyle,
which quickly went viral. It put him on the map as one of the hottest up-and-coming
rappers from the south and eventually earned him a deal with Rap-a-Lot Records.
Things seemed like they were looking good for Brazy and that he may have made it out of the
streets. But in February 2020, he was sent back to jail for violating his probation.
And breaking now, at 10 a real rapper is going back to prison just a few hours ago
A judge revoking probation for HoneyKomb Brazy
In 2016, the rapper was arrested on gun charges and sentenced to 15 years in jail for violating
his probation. The court would eventually reduce the sentence and only made him do 18 months,
then serve another 5 years of probation.
In January 2020, his parole office filed a motion to have his probation
revoked for possession of marijuana and a firearm. Brazy was brought back to jail,
but the charge was dropped after the court failed to prove that he
was actually in possession of the weed or the gun and he was allowed to walk free.
After being released,
Brazy would end up getting into another shootout that almost got him this time
He and his homies were on Facebook Live, sitting in a car outside a barbershop in
Montgomery County, Alabama, a few hours from Mobile. A grey BMW slid
through and started letting off shots so Brazy and his crew started firing back.
It’s not clear if anyone was hit, but many think that Brazy and his crew were set up.
Brazy even released the surveillance footage from outside the barbershop,
showing him and his people firing back in self-defense.
Then in February 2021, the tragic news broke that Brazy’s grandparents had been shot and
killed and their home had been burned to the ground while they were inside.
The grandparents of a local rapper shot and killed then their home set on fire
The grim details just revealed by emotional family members at the scene
Around 6:30pm on February 17th, 2021
the neighbors of Brazy’s grandparents heard bullets tear through their home.
A few minutes later, they went outside to find their neighbor’s house on fire. Other witnesses
reported that they had heard gunshots and then an explosion as the house went up in flames. It took
3 hours for firefighters to put out the fire and by that point, everything was destroyed.
But they were able to determine that two people inside the house had been killed.
A witness said that he had heard over 100 gunshots and he and his mother had to duck for cover.
The two victims were later identified as Laila and Tony Lewis,
the grandparents of Honeykomb Brazy.
Laila and Tony Lewis and were the head of their families
and we've also learned that they are the grandparents of local rapper HoneyKomb Brazy
They were in their 60’s and well loved members of the community. After the news broke, the rapper
posted a photo of his grandparents to IG to mourn his loss, writing “Long live grandma n grandpa
y’all was my heart fr I put y’all in every song I hate y’all got caught up In my Shìt smh this
Shìt hurt main I beg y’all to let me move y’all every day but y’all Taught me how to be stand
up guy y’all always told me If it’s our time it’s our time god got us that’s how ik y’all in heaven
y’all baby boy got y’all fasho granny granny Ima miss u bad already n I’ma fasho miss smoking
that gas gas wit u grandpa y’all save me a spot cause I’m most definitely coming to see y’all”
The viciousness of the attack shows that it was not only targeted,
it was personal. Brazy wasn’t even in Mobile at the time of the murder,
so they intended to go after his grandparents. Police later identified a man
named Darrin Jamarck Southall as a person of interest in the case. Yeah that right Lanice,
and that's just part of the story the big news tonight is that for the first time since
Tony and Laila Lewis were murdered inside their home months ago,
detectives tell me they're taking a long hard look at a guy named Darrin Southall
Southall is an accused drug kingpin with ties to the Gulf cartel, who had escaped from prison.
Southall is accused of overseeing a massive drug operation that sold crack, cocaine,
and fentanyl all along the Gulf Coast and is currently facing federal drug charges.
Southall was not arrested in connection to the murder but named by police as a person
of interest. The 42 year old is being investigated because he is the uncle of Stank, the 22-year-old
that Brazy allegedly murdered back in 2016. The family connection explains why the killers would
take it to such a brutal extreme. But police say that Stank’s murder may not be the only reason for
the double homicide and there is likely more to their beef than just that. At this point,
Southall has not been arrested for the crime but is being investigated.
The murder does seem to be more serious than a regular neighborhood beef. The victims were not
only two innocent people, they were killed in a cold, planned way that sent a serious message.
There’s a big difference between spraying a house with bullets and accidentally hitting
an innocent bystander and targeting family members by burning down their home while they’re inside.
So it seems like the rapper may have made an enemy that is even crazier than he is.
All in all, Brazy spent over a decade in prison, even though he’s only in his late 20’s and he’s
been shot at more than eight times. His opps have even given up trying to take him out
and have turned to going after anyone close to him. But if the life of Honeykomb Brazy wasn’t
wild enough, the rapper would end up getting sent back to jail again just recently for
violating his probation by appearing in a rap video with guns and drugs.
Brazy is still on probation for the 2016 case where he was booked for being a convicted
felon in possession of a firearm. A local rapper is back in the headlines tonight,
HoneyKomb Brazy in jail on gun and drug charges
He only served 18 months of his 15-year sentence
and now the court wants him to go back and serve the additional 13.5 years.
They tried to get him once before for violating his probation, but the charges didn’t stick.
Now, they got all the evidence they need from his own music videos and social media.
The court was able to put together 15 different video clips that show Brazy with firearms and
drugs. His lawyers tried to argue that anything appearing to be guns or drugs were fake
and just props that were being used for his videos, because the use of any real weapons
or drugs goes against his company’s insurance policy. But the court pointed to the incident
that happened back in 2020 when Brazy and his crew were shot at, in Montgomery County and fired back.
Clearly, they weren’t using prop guns then, so Brazy was around real guns at some point.
But, the rapper wasn’t actually the one shooting any guns and his boys were acting in self-defense.
Prosecutors also accused Brazy of failing to check in with his probation officer,
but his lawyers claimed that this was because he feared for his life
after his grandparents were killed and didn’t want to be seen anywhere that he could be tracked.
The court also pointed out that at one point, he admitted to his parole officer that he had
used marijuana and Percocet and had traveled outside of the state to go to Houston, Texas
These are all violations of his probation. So even if the evidence
in the videos are just props, they clearly show a lifestyle that he’s actually living.
The judge took several weeks to review the evidence and determined that Brazy should
finish out the remainder of his 15-year sentence for refusing to follow the terms of his parole.
It looks like Jones is going back to prison for a long time
Yeah it does, Jones only served 18 months of a 15 year sentence on a gun charge
But the DEA's office telling me about an hour ago
that he'll now have to finish that original 15 year sentence
It does seem like they may be out to get Brazy for all
the trouble he’s caused in the streets of Mobile.
The rapper has said in interviews that it’s not just him, but his whole family
that is living that life. His father is locked up for a murder charge, his uncle is doing a
bid in federal prison and all his cousins are well known in the streets. He’s been going back
and forth from prison since he was just a kid and has been on probation since he was 10 years old.
So Brazy isn’t the kind of rapper who’s just making up stories for clout. He’s really out here,
not only with people from his own hood but serious criminals with connections to the cartel.
It seems like the life he’s been living has finally caught up to
him and the cops want to put him away before anyone else gets hurt.
Honeykomb Brazy is another example of a rapper who got caught up in the cycle of trying to be
a gangsta and a rapper at the same time. Although being a real thug is what made his music blow up,
once you start getting millions of views it can be hard to stay active in the streets.
Either you’re going to end up in jail or people close to you are going to get hurt.
Unfortunately, Brazy has had to deal with both,
even though he had a promising career ahead of him in the music industry. Hopefully,
he’s got a good team and some lawyers who can get his charges overturned or his sentence reduced.
But it seems like it may be a while before fans get to hear another track from Honeykomb Brazy.
