Eugene Henley Jr., better known as Big U, has turned himself in to authorities following a federal RICO indictment. The influential figure in the Rollin’ 60s Crips posted an Instagram video late Wednesday, documenting his surrender while riding in a van with his family. He maintained his innocence, calling the charges "bull crap."
In the video, Big U asked for prayers and insisted he has always focused on uplifting his family and community. He dismissed the allegations, saying, “This is straight trash.” He also thanked his supporters for standing by him during this time.
Big U pointed fingers at Wack 100 and 600, claiming they played a role in his indictment. He alleged that 600 was with police when his home was raided and accused Wack 100 of working with the FBI and city officials to block him from receiving money.
"People don’t understand what the FBI does to Black men who try to help their community," Big U said. "This is the price of being Black and trying to help others in their neighborhood."
According to federal documents, the charges include murder, human trafficking, and extortion. The indictment claims that in January 2021, Big U allegedly drove with another defendant and fatally shot an aspiring rapper, later dumping the body in the desert off the interstate.
During a press conference Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed that 10 individuals were arrested, including part-time rappers Bricc Baby and Luce Cannon. However, Big U insisted he has no connection to them and predicted they would testify against him.
Despite the serious charges, Big U stood firm on his innocence, declaring he "did nothing wrong" and is confident he will be cleared.
