Kev was that dude until he started lying to him. Franklin just thought he was too smart and cunning for all his hood friends.The way Jerome was telling Franklin to shoot him it was like Jerome wanted Franklin to dead him so that Jerome could escape the life he’s in. Jerome probably just wanted his weight bench and subwoofer shop but he’s done too much to have that simple life now.
Also problem with Franklin is that he doesn’t have a Weebay, a Snoop, or a Chris on his side. No loyal shooters on the payroll. People talk to him like he ain’t shyt, no respect at all.
