Charleston White has recently weighed in on the federal indictment of Big U, Bricc Baby, and other members of the Rollin’ 60s gang, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding their arrests. In an interview, White claimed responsibility for alerting authorities about Bricc Baby after a series of provocative online posts, including one where the rapper flaunted a stack of cash on his head, implying a bounty on White’s life.
White recounted that his actions were driven by self-preservation, stating he filed reports with both Houston and Los Angeles law enforcement agencies to document potential threats against him. However, he clarified that while he did contact the police, the federal investigation into Bricc Baby and Big U began well before his intervention in 2021, making his involvement a mere coincidence rather than the catalyst for their arrests.
The ongoing federal investigation, dubbed Operation Draw Down, aims to dismantle the Rollin’ 60s gang, which has been linked to various criminal activities. White speculated that the timing of these indictments might be strategic, suggesting that city officials are cleaning up Los Angeles ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics. He pointed to historical patterns, noting how cities often ramp up law enforcement efforts to create a safer environment for major events.
In the interview, White also discussed the dynamics of loyalty within the gang culture, predicting that Big U would be unlikely to cooperate with authorities even under pressure, as he is considered a primary target of the investigation. White emphasized the complexities of gang-related politics, suggesting that fear of retribution and the interconnected lives of gang members complicate the potential for testimony against one another.
As the case unfolds, White’s assertions and the broader implications of the federal crackdown on gang activity in Los Angeles continue to spark debate and concern among community members and observers alike.
