While based on truth, the show is mixed up to make good TV. You shouldn't assume anything from it is real unless you confirmed it elsewhere, like the documentary.

Ghost hustlin with Divine is true. They were real tight at one point. Their real stories are crazier, and so far, I haven't seen anything that was fabricated like that. If anything, they've downplayed their exploits, because aside from RZA, who gave up the life once he was acquitted, the rest were still hustlin. Ghost was in OH with RZA's family, and hustled with them. They were actually running guns for the mob (allegedly) out there, as well. Dirty would make those runs...allegedly.

The only thing is that the timeline has been compressed, events combined and certain characters are amalgams...but all of this ish happened.

So did Raekwon really shoot up Ghost’s crib?

that's one of the things that while it wasn’t Rae that shot up the crib, it’s a quick way to show that Ghost and Rae’s crews/projects were beefin and instead of introducing a character you’ll never see again to shoot up the house, in one small scene you introduce 2 main characters, you see that Ghost has disabled family members, and you see that Rae puts in work, he’s a soldier when he needs to be, etc.

Exactly like @DaveyDave said. And while it wasn't (allegedly) Rae that personally shot up Ghost's crib, is was his & Power's crew. Ghost (allegedly) robbed one of their peoples, so they got him back. According to certain Clan members, they went back and forth with shootouts. Some of them say Rae & Power did it, Rae says he "personally never fired a shot at that mans house", Ghost doesn't speak on it at all outside a couple of references in his music.

There's a great interview with RZA once on Youtube that I can no longer find. In it he mentions Rae & Ghost being in shootouts with one another, Rae gettin shot, Ghost being shot & his mom's house being shot up, Dirty being shot, himself being arrested 15x, Uey being in and out of jail, MK & Deck bidding it, Cap, Divine in and out of jail. He ran it down like that - names, and a brief rap sheet - 6 of the 9 were felons. In the interview he was really saying that it was their lives until he decided to focus on something positive, and once he went positive they became millionaires after a year.

Here's one I doubt they'll ever mention - the real reason Divine & Ghost fell out was because of the guy that became Ghost's manager. He's an alleged mob snitch...and Divine said don't bring him around anymore. This is the dude that put the battery in his back for him to start suing - cases I still can't believe he won.

Maybe, but not the exact way it's presented on the show. They have already said this. Some things have been moved around or altered for storytelling purposes.

Yea like Shurrie isn’t a real person. She’s basically a combination of his multiple sisters. RZA has 10 siblings. It’s 11 of them all together.

Also Shameik Moore might be my fav of the actors. Him and TJ out of the young nikkas. We all know Dave East. But outside of him them 2 are the most normal cats outside of the show. Dude who play as Ghost is from BK and seems KINDA normal but that pic y’all posted got me feelin like he a weirdo like the dude who plays as RZA. Shameik basically wish he was an NYC nikka at this point tho. Lol. They was messin wit him about it in an interview.
