nah it was more like a MUTUAL RELATIONSHIP...
the "STARS" whom were mostly "street rappers" needed them just as much BMF needed them to legitimize their movment in the Indusry
Cavario from Don Diva said it best in his interview with Meech.."it's LAME...the bytches are lame and the n1ggas are lame ..cause they both need each other caue they feed off of aesthetics...it's NOT REAL"
and that's what MEECH unfortunatly found out ...is that it's all SMOKE N MIRRORS in the industry..NOBODY IS YOUR FRIEND..especially those you helped out the most
which is something MEECH was fully aware of which is why he always labeled BMF...
"THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH"
And it worked to some degree from a marketing perspective
for christ sakes ...who da fukk isn't gonna fukk with a guy who has his BIRTHDAY PARTY hosted by R. KELLY
you have to understand it was actually the "STARS" in the music and sports fields who gravitated to them....
because not only of the aesthetics ..they really did put thier money where they mouth was.....
keep in mind dex sosa also speaks about how they helped Suge avoid a probation violation ....when Meech put him on his private jet to fly him back to Cali in time before he was suppose to check in with a P.O

or the time Nelly had a problem securing females for his Tripp Drill video cause he didn't like the chicks the director was supplying ..so he was able to secure the girls he REALLY WANTED via BMF

cant forget all the "muscle" they provided for rappers and moguls such as Diddy and Jay z over the years..and alot of conflicts they supposedly mediated and squashed like the issues Choppa and Dylan from DA BAND was having with Diddy in wanting to get released from thier contracts
also supposedly i remember hearing this when i was down in florida ..how Meech and J Bo alledgedly helped Khaled during his issues with Ali Zoe from Zoe Pound
He didn’t need the stars or the notoriety, he wanted both.
He made it hot for his own crew so he could live out his hip-hop star fantasy.
He asked The Don Diva owner to put him in the magazine and he refused. He said his OGs would never forgive him for playing a role in exposing the organization.
Despite the money, power, women, and success in the shadows, there was a part of him that needed public recognition and praise. But on the flip side, that drive is what led him to take the kind of chances it requires to achieve that kind of success in the underworld.
Same weakness that brought down John Gotti.
my bad fam have a good Friday enjoy ur weekend
