His wife, Akia Brown, is accused of helping launder cash—used to buy luxury cars, homes, and even billboards promoting their “success stories.” This isn’t his first brush with the law: ex-rapper Charli Baltimore accused him of assault in 2016, and another woman, Sabrina Lewis, is tied to past money-hiding schemes. Authorities say his empire is vast and deeply woven, with serious allegations still unfolding. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
