The 50 Boyz branding of this group earned them a tremendous reputation throughout the country, which caused them to generate huge earnings.
The Real Story of D-Meeks
In an interview with Vlad TV, B-Mickie discussed his entire history as a member of the 50 Boyz crew. D-Meeks founded the 50 Boyz crew with Big Meech and Southwest T, and three of them were responsible for the growth to 350 members who worked hard as drug dealers. 50 Boyz rose to prominence due to their well-organized labor and high-quality narcotics, but Big Meech eventually parted ways with E.D. Boyd and relocated to Atlanta.
Even though D-Meeks was invited to attend Atlanta, he declined and continued working in Detroit. Soon, he learned that Big Meech had given birth to The Black Mafia Family (BMF), which was rapidly developing.
