Big U summoned the so-called informant and announced his innocence in a provocative Instagram video and surrendered to federal authorities in Los Angeles under RICO charges.
In the video recorded on Wednesday (March 19), the music director is a family van with real name Eugene Henley Jr.
The indictment accused him of running a criminal organization known as the “big U enterprise” and allegedly suspected of murder, ransomware, fraud and human trafficking.
Authorities also claimed that he had misappropriated charitable donations designed to develop options for his nonprofit organization and filed a fraudulent Covid-19-19 relief loan application.
Big U claims WACK 100 and 600 with the Federal Reserve
In his video, Big U blames Wack 100 and 600 for his legal dilemma. He claimed that 600 people attended with law enforcement during the raid of his residence and alleged that Wack 100 worked with federal investigators.
“When they raided my house, there were actually 600 people at the police station,” he said. “He actually had videos and footage, so you all know what you’re all dealing with.”
Big U also claimed that authorities asked him about the Wack 100 and Luce Cannon.
“Everyone who is promoting these n ##### says,” he added. “Give these likes, everyone supports this. Everyone is sinning about this f ### s ####.”
Executives also claimed that Wack 100 is “signing” his contract with the Federal Reserve.
Throughout the recording, Big U repeatedly highlighted his community contribution and denied wrongdoing.
“I’m just helping our community,” he asserted. “It’s the price of black people and trying to help someone, trying to help your community and doing your best. You’re just guilty because others don’t like you.”
As of March 20, 2025, federal officials listed Big U as a fugitive after prosecuting 18 partners from Rollin’s 1960s neighbor Crips Gang. Prosecutors argued that Big U used his music industry relationship to further his crime and used his opposition to charity as a facade of financial fraud.
The indictment further accused him of intimidating witnesses in order to prevent working with investigators and deceiving donors who contribute to the charity.
