B.M.F founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory is throwing a concert celebrating his freedom after 16 years of federal detention.
The 56-year-old drug kingpin was originally sentenced to 30 years in prison following his 2008 conviction for drug trafficking and money laundering. According to the Associated Press, he was released to a residential reentry program in Miami in October. His official release from federal custody is scheduled for the end of this month, setting the stage for the concert scheduled Feb. 13 at the Amerant Bank Arena in Miami. A flyer of the event is floating around on social media.

According to Complex, the show is produced by XO Touring and AG Touring. The show aims to unite the music industry in honoring Big Meech. Dubbed the Big Meech Welcome Back Legacy Concert, the show will feature performances by Lil Baby, Rick Ross, Sexxy Red, 21 Savage, 42 Dubb, Moneybagg Yo, and a slew of Detroit rappers including Payroll Giovanni, Tee Grizzley, Babyface Ray, and Icewear Vezzo.
The Detroit native and his brother Terry “Southwest T” Flenory are notorious for their criminal enterprise and foray into the music industry in Atlanta during the early 2000s with affiliations with Bleu DaVinchi and Jeezy. At the height of the B.M.F’s success, a billboard loomed over Atlanta with the ominous message, “The World is B.M.F’s.”
The brothers’ life story has been brought to the small screen with a series on Starz produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and starring Meech’s son, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory, Jr. In a 2023 interview with CassiusLife, Lil Meech said, “I’ve always looked up to my dad. But, I didn’t want to be him. I wanted to make a way for myself, like he did…but my own legacy.”
Season 4 of BMF will drop in the middle of 2025. Per The Direct, Creator Randy Huggins has hinted at possible time jumps to accelerate the story, suggesting that the show may delve into the complexities of the BMF’s rise before its eventual downfall in the early 2000s.
