Eugene “Big U” Henley has surrendered to police custody on Wednesday following his RICO indictment. FOX 11 Los Angeles reports that Henley turned himself in, which aligns with his earlier social media video announcing his intention to surrender to authorities.
“This is likely my last video before turning myself in to see what’s happening,” he says in the viral social media clip. “They’re calling me a fugitive and raided all my houses. 600 was actually with police during the raid and has video of it. So you know what you’re dealing with.”
He adds: “When they raided my properties, they were asking about Wack [100], Loose Cannon, 600 and this internet stuff. You’re all foul.”
Big U then accuses Wack 100 of FBI collaboration. “If you had beef with a Black man, handle it in the streets,” he states. “Wack repeatedly said he’d take my contracts. He’s working with the FBI. They visited the city three days straight telling them not to give me money.”
He claims the FBI also told celebrities to stop funding him. “They’re intimidating everyone,” Big U explains. “People don’t realize what the FBI does to Black men helping their communities. But it is what it is.”
The rap exec concludes by affirming his plan to surrender and maintaining his innocence. He also addresses Wack 100’s alleged plot to ruin his nonprofit Developing Options—which Big U allegedly used to misappropriate millions from government and other sources.
Henley, known for launching Nipsey Hussle’s career, now faces multiple charges including murder under a RICO indictment. Federal authorities accuse him of heading a criminal enterprise involved in murder, kidnapping, extortion, fraud, and robbery. They claim he forced athletes and musicians to “check in” for protection when visiting Los Angeles.
Officials describe his Big U Enterprise as a “mafia-like organization” using his “stature and long-standing association with the Rollin’ 60s and other street gangs to intimidate businesses and individuals” throughout Los Angeles.
