‘Tupac’ Producers Acquire The Rights To ‘B.M.F.’ Movie
In case you aren’t familiar with one of the men Rick Ross thinks he is on the song “Blowin’ Money Fast (BMF),” the producers of the biopic Tupac, have been granted the rights to make a film about Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, the head of the Black Mafia Family.
Producers L.T. Hutton and David Robinson are on board and ready to get the script together. “We have a passion and enthusiasm in bringing Big Meech’s story to the big screen,” commented Hutton.
“We’re working closely with Meech and Tammy Cowins to make sure every aspect of the story is done correctly.
The Black Mafia Family was founded in Detroit by Meech and his brother Terry in the 1980’s but the drug trafficking operation spread out to Missouri, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, California and Texas by the 1990’s.
Meech himself preached brotherhood amongst the family claiming their organization was about money and loyalty, not violence.
Members of BMF began to break into the entertainment and luxury car business to legitimize their illegal operations. The DEA estimates that BMF accumulated 13 residences, 35 luxury vehicles, $270 million in cash assets and in 2008 Flenory and his brother were sentenced to 30 years in prison each.
Let’s hope the film lives up to the hype and gives insight to the men behind the legendary crew that became idolized for spending.

Creflo Dollar Proposes To Build Megachurch In NYC
Atlanta pastor Creflo Dollar is looking to build a megachurch in New York City. Dolllar made a pitch to take over the Kingsbridge Armory in The Bronx and turn it into an arena and multipurpose facility — and he’d pay for the development with his own financing, according to sources. Dollar’s offer was prompted by a yearlong study of the armory by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who helped to scuttle the last proposal put together by the Bloomberg administration to turn it into a retail and entertainment center.
Reports by the New York Post state:
Dollar “wants to turn it into a multi-use facility,” one source said. “He’s got a huge following and needs an arena.”
But the source cautioned, “You’d be handing over a public property to a religious institution. That would require a lot of discussion.”
Another source said that Dollar — who travels the nation in a Gulfstream jet and packs Madison Square Garden for weekend-long revivals — has virtually no chance of taking over the city-owned facility, even though his ministries are taking in $65 million a year.
He already has an 8,500-seat auditorium in Atlanta, but a venture in The Bronx would create a base for a larger market in a building that could be used as a convention center. Officials have been trying since the 1990s to figure out what to do with Kingsbridge, a 5-acre site that is one of the largest armories in the nation.
