The Self-Snitching Curse: Rappers Who Paid The Price For Self-Snitching In Songs And Online

What up gang.

Back with the real you know what’s the deal. We’re all feeling the effects of the epidemic sweeping the world known as Covid, but in the rap game there has been a different epidemic costing rappers their freedom and careers…The Self-Snitching Curse. It mainly haunts rappers who came from the streets or affiliated with street dudes. The curse is rumored to affect rappers after they blow up, forcing them to tell on themselves in songs and online about crimes or gang affiliations for the feds to investigate and catch them and their crew lacking. It’s been becoming more widespread so today we’re going to take a look at rappers who snitched on themselves and paid the ultimate price. Let’s chop it up and break it down.

Recall the video we did recently on FBG Duck’s murder? Well that’s where the first two rappers who snitched on themselves come from, one dodged being locked, the other is going down for murder. Boss Top and Muwop

In August 2020, FBG Duck was murked in the Gold Coast area, a luxury and boutique shopping district near the city’s downtown being hit multiple times https://youtu.be/EfL_ykkmYXk (1:09-1:29)

A year later in October 2021, the feds cracked down on O Block goons arresting 5 for Ducks murder.

C-Thang

Kenny Mac

Tacarlos Offered aka Los

And Muwop

In police reports and news outlets, authorities state they used music videos and social media to help build their case, bringing a lot of eyes to two of the persons in particular, Muwop and Boss Top who wasn’t locked up but according to mama Duck got everyone hemmed up for self-snitching https://youtu.be/7rvhFbfTIIc (4:38-4:50)

 Muwop slipped up, posting this custom design shoes on his Instagram with the caption “I been the youngest in charge before rap.” The shoe details a graphic design of a camera flashing daffy duck. After the murder of Duck this could easily be interpreted as Duck got caught lackin’ and flashed with the blicky. Why did he see the need to post this online? Idk, but I suspect it’s the Self-Snitching Curse.

To make matters worse, Boss Top took the self-snitching to another level, actually insinuating that O Block took out Duck for speaking down on Troys name, not in a IG post, not even in an IG vid, but in a public interview in the hood https://youtu.be/sWV8ATPgv4U (0:49-1:40) Mans was on the camera flexing and pointing fingers manifesting the full powers of the Self-Snitching curse. It was only a matter of time before the feds caught wind and turned their focus to the O and cleaned clock. Currently they are fighting the case and we’d just have to wait and see if they ever see the light of day. RIP Duck

Next rapper to self-snitch is near to being one of the biggest of them all. The self-snitch title is reserved for the honorable mention at the end of the vid. Right now we’re going to turn our attention to none other than 6ix9ine who has been infamously named by the hip hop community snitch9ine. 

This man was a wildcard in the game. Talking greasy. Wildin’ out. And appeared to be damn near untouchable…that was until the truth came out that he was a fraud and a puppet for the Nine Trey Bloods and gang shot caller and then manager, Shotti

Besides testifying in court when the feds swopped in on the entire gang and basically sent them extinct https://youtu.be/wVEUki5hVAg (1:20-2:17) 6ix9ine did a lot of self-snitching that was under the eye of the law as evidence. In court his music was used as a tool to bring tie him to the Nine Trey Bloods and the indictment. His breakout song, Gummo was the subject of question where he filmed it in Brooklyn https://youtu.be/gAs9HZC9c7Y https://youtu.be/wVEUki5hVAg (8:27-8:55) https://youtu.be/wVEUki5hVAg (9:34-9:55) In the song it’s painted with bloods everywhere 

And the lyrics are just as incriminating. 6ix9ine raps “Pop these n-word like a wheelie, n-word, you a silly n-word/In the hood with them Billy n-word and them Hoover n-word/You run up and they shootin’ n-word, we ain’t hoopin’, n-word/Yo, KB, you a loser, n-word, up that Uzi, n-word” This man was going off at the mouth. But he continued “I’m on some rob a n-word shit, take the n-word bih/Do the dash in the whip, count the cash in the whip/I pull up with a stick, I let that shit hit” mix that with the lyrics to the very graphic song “Billy” where he raps “These n-word say they heard of me, I ain’t heard of you/Get the f up out my f’in face, ‘fore I murder you/Bih n-word always jackin’ Blood, but I know they fu/Whole squad full of f’in killers, I’m a killer too” https://youtu.be/LJjsm6CVsG8 (0:18-0:46) But that’s not even the worse case of his self-snitching. In a viral vid he can be heard putting a bag on Chief Keef’s head, just on camera like it’s nothing https://youtu.be/weg3w1PfPJE (1:33-2:12) The person he put up to the hit was homie Kooda B who was seen going off in his video for Billy https://youtu.be/LJjsm6CVsG8 (0:11-0:12) https://youtu.be/LJjsm6CVsG8 (1:08-1:13)

Even more sad is that 6ix9ine not only self-snitched but legally snitched on Kooda B getting him taken down with the Nine Trey Bloods. So many snitching rules on the hood, it’s like a new one daily, but the self-snitching is a rapper’s kryptonite.

After such a dose of snitching gone wrong, how can it get any worse with a rapper? Well, Tay K just might have beat him back. 

This youngin was on the up and up around 2017 and seemed to have a promising career ahead. Ironically, the song that made him viral is the same song that shelved his career. Young, dumb and reckless, or haunted by the Self-Snitching curse, one thing’s for certain, he dropped the ball on what could have been. 

In July 2016 a 16-year-old Tay K was charged along with six others in connection with a home invasion that left a 21-year-old, Ethan Walker dead https://youtu.be/Am1-2Dzhtfk (0:55-1:51)

He was released from custody pending the hearing and was wearing an ankle monitor on house arrest. Tay K thought it was a good idea not only to cut his monitor off and go on the run, but to document the entire thing online and in a song. The Self-Snitching curse got to him. On March 26th 2017, he posted this tweet before making his escape. 

At that point he The United States Marshals Service soon marked him a violent fugitive. About 3 months later, Tay K upped his self-snitching game, releasing the viral music video “The Race” where it details his entire situation. I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s real life. He would alert fans to the track via twitter taunting the feds even further.

Tay K began the track rolling one up right beside his wanted poster

In the lyrics he rapped the bars https://youtu.be/3nyV5ZU1ME8 (0:53-1:03) https://youtu.be/3nyV5ZU1ME8 (1:41-1:49) https://youtu.be/3nyV5ZU1ME8 (2:34-2:40)

The night the video dropped, the Marshals Service announced that it had arrested Tay-K in Elizabeth, N.J., citing “dozens of tips” that had “poured in from the entire country.” Tay-K was extradited back to Tarrant County, and eventually moved to an adult jail and in July 2019 he was sentenced to 55 years for his role in a 2016 murder https://youtu.be/3nyV5ZU1ME8 (0:22-0:30) The song that supersized his career, “The Race” was the one that also played a role in painting him as a dangerous gang affiliated rapper that had no care for human life or the law

His story goes even deeper than just self-snitching, because Tay K, while on the run, allegedly murked another victim and is also assaulted and robbed a 65-year-old. 

Tay K turned out to be his own worst enemy.

Two more rappers left on the list, and they were heavily infected with the Self-Snitching curse. Before we get to the honorable mention, we have the Tennessee rapper, Nuke Bizzle. 

Man this dude and his alleged accomplice, Fat Wizza

Were held for allegedly defrauding the U.S. government’s coronavirus relief fund for $1.2 million. The part that got them upon this list was that the Government caught on to their shenanigans due to them making a song title “EDD” (Employment Development Department) about their fraudulent scheme and lavish lifestyle due to it. I swear I can’t make this up https://youtu.be/niBFYeo2Ltk 

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Fontrell Antonio Baines allegedly defrauded the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in California, where he was living in the Hollywood Hills. He then rapped about the alleged scheme under his alias, Nuke Bizzle, in the music video for EDD.

Authorities point to the flaunting of cash, debit cards and government cheques in the music video as well as holding laptops while bragging about doing a “swagger for EDD.” They also took note of the rapped bars “I did got rich off EDD,” “I just woke up to 300 Gs.” “You gotta sell cocaine. I just file a claim” all while waving EDD-stamped cheques around and saying, “Go to the bank, get a stack of these.” It was like taking candy from a baby with this level of self-snitching.

Of course the law caught him lackin’. According to an affidavit filed in court, Nuke Bizzle was arrested on Sept. 23 by Las Vegas police. He allegedly had eight EDD debit cards on him at the time, seven of which were under other people’s names. After posting bond, an affidavit states that he was again arrested on October 16th following an investigation that turned up at least 92 EDD debit cards loaded with a combined $1.2 million. These debit cards were allegedly obtained through COVID-19 unemployment benefits for freelance and gig workers and received through the mail using the names of third parties, including identity theft victims. Upon checking, authorities found they spent about $704,000 from the cards. Nuke Bizzle is looking at a maximum statutory sentence of 22 years in federal prison if convicted. Another victim to the Self-Snitching curse.

And here we are, the honorable mention of the Self-Snitching curse. Not Bobby Smurda, Not YWN Melly…It’s AR-AB.

This man was certified in the streets and was a menace taking over with his crew https://youtu.be/SQCOmzb_HE4 (0:00-0:23) Surviving being wet up and working towards change launching his record label OBH Records, AR-AB seemed to be transitioning from king of the streets to king of the music industry.

Unfortunately, in October 2018 authorities snatched up AB and 8 affiliates of OBH. 

AR-AB was indicted on federal drug charges, accused of heading a drug-distribution ring with bases of operation in Philadelphia and supplies coming from Los Angeles.

In 2019 he would be convicted on counts including conspiracy and distribution of crack cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine as the alleged drug king pin of OBH.

And on April 15th 2021, A federal judge sentenced AR-AB to 45 years in prison for the 2019 conviction of turning the record label he founded, Original Block Hustlaz (OBH), into a large-scale North Philadelphia drug-trafficking organization which was implicated in at least one murder.

Authorities made use of AR-AB’s extensive list of self-snitching vids that connect the rapper to dang near every crime imaginable. I’m talking kidnapping, shooting, murder, drug trafficking, extortion, robbing, dude spilled it all on interviews and vids left and right. Just take a look at his self-snitching compilation and you’d realize the hold the Self-Snitching curse had on him https://youtu.be/Uv8gWOHeza0
