DIDDY DA DON pt. 2

  written by Mr. Cynical

Continued from Part 1

             The demotion of Wolf in 2003 capped a series of conflicts that would lead to the eventual schism between him and his beloved employer. This would be the final straw as Wolf found himself not only void of his leadership position, but playing the role of subordinate to Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory  under the guise of Diddy’s new head of security Paul Buford.

              As for Diddy the transition for Wolf couldn’t have occurred at a better time, considering that Diddy had gotten word that Kirk Burrows a long time friend and business partner was still bitter over his dismissal in 2000 and was making plans to pursue litigation against Diddy.

             The allegations made by Kirk made headlines around the media, as Kirk Burrows filed suit in July 2003 that Puff not only breached a contract during the termination of Kirk Burrows but also created an atmosphere of fear in the music industry , based on Diddy relying on the usage of a network of enforcers known as the “Enterprise” who specialized in extortion, murder and mayhem.

             Burrows who is also the godfather of Diddy Combs son Justin also made allegations that included sensational charges of Diddy’s role in the planned out execution of Suge Knight’s crip affiliated  bodyguard Jake Robles and the Quad Studios shooting of Tupac Shukur, and the assault on music exec Steve Stoute as well as the intent of Diddy to use his personal network of goons in the activities of money laundering and contract murders.

Diddy along with many in the media themselves had dismissed the charges as having no merit, but following the 1997 murder of Biggie Smalls, NYPD investigators followed various leads into possible rivals of the Biggie Camp excluding Death Row records within the NYC area.

                   One name which figured prominently was the Brooklyn gunman named Benjaman “KILLER BEN”  Ogaro out of Fort Green Brooklyn , the same “KILLER BEN”  immortalized on the Eric B. and Rakim cut “I Wanna Know what’s on your Mind”. Killer Ben held fort in the Myrtle Avenue section of Brooklyn, and laid claim to any luxury item that passed thru his area, be it luxury cars or the high priced bling of various Drug Dealers and rappers.

 Read the rest inside...

                Killer Ben cherished his associations with rappers, viewing that as a quick exit out of the deteriorating conditions of his BK hood where Ben and his counterparts held rank, Ben following the legacy of his deceased counterpart Kevin Martin aka the REAL 50 CENT went on robbing sprees at various hip hop events and shows throughout the 5 boroughs.

                 It was at the 1995 Source Awards where Ben’s crew would meet the bounty which would eventually seal his fate. An individual by the name of “Zack” who traveled with the Bad Boy camp courtesy of his friend Christopher Wallace aka “Biggie” had just became the victim of a chain snatching just prior to the opening of the award show in Manhattan .

                         The atmosphere filled with vengeance, as the BAD BOY camp already defending themselves against verbal insults and displays of arrogance from the Death Row camp sought to clear this matter immediately.

                          Unbeknownest to the associates of BAD BOY records, was that not only the “streets were watching” this shameful act of robbery, but law enforcement as well,  for according to Derrick Parker the self proclaimed “HIP HOP COP”,  NYPD were tailing BAD BOY RECORDS investigating their connection with a Crip O.G named Vaughn Williams aka UNCLE ZIP , a trusted friend and confident of Diddy’s well respected deceased father Melvin Combs.

                            Uncle Zip according to Derrick Parker had ties to Crips nationwide , particularly those in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn. Diddy trusted Zip’s judgement and according to sources relied on them for security and enforcement.

                     This validates what was written about Diddy in the biography “UNBELIEVALBE: THE LIFE, DEATH AND AFTERLIFE OF THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G” authored by Cheo Coker in which quotes a source who states:
          “ The nigga that’s a major figure and is a Crip is named ZIP , that’s like Puff right hand man, but he would never go out and expose that shit!”              

                Statements such as the above along with police reports suggest that any Crip related activity amongst the Bad Boy camp can be attributed to the O.G known as “UNCLE ZIP.” Looking to offset any further robberies and blatant disrespect of the BAD BOY hierarchy, the Crips of Brooklyn became a useful accessory in assistant Diddy Combs.

                 The Source Awards robbery was just the latest in a string of disrespectful acts occurring to Bad Boy records staff within the BK area, just months earlier Diddy himself was the victim of a botched robbery in which suspects tried to relieve him of his gold encrusted rolex watch outside a popular eatery known as the Renchers Crab Inn on 407 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn.

                       Within an hours of the closing of the Source Awards , word had reached all over New York City that , Killer Ben was fatally shot while at a phone booth by two gunmen clad in blue colored apparel at 11:10 pm.

                    The shooting seemed to be of no interest to the NYPD , who felt as if a favor had  been done considering that Killer Ben had used a 4 year old boy as a shield while dodging bullets in 1988 as well as losing his own 3 year old brother to a drive bye shooting which he directed activities on the street during his stint in a upstate prison.

                   It was now confirmed that Diddy had now established a crew of “BAD BOYS” who could compensate for the false street imagery that his artists portrayed on record.

            Loyalty was honored and Vengeance was swift, fast forward to the fall of 2003 and two of Diddy’s Bad Boy associates are locked into an icey stare down outside an Atlanta nightclub.  A dispute ignites between Wolf Jones and the charismatic Big Meech Flenory inside Club Chaos, that spills into the parking lot as Meech is accompanied by at least 40 members of his Black Mafia Family click , while Wolf Jones in a moment of sheer badness props himself up against Meech’s Cadillac Escalade, in a sheer display of arrogance. Viewing the cadre of goons Meech has assembled, Wolf quickly makes a phone call to his Bronx born associate Lamont “Riz” Girdy, after the exchange of words, reports differ but speculation suggests Riz and Wolf fired their weapons first , and Meech and his counterpart Ameen “Baby Bull” Hight returned fire to defend themselves while becoming injured , Meech with shots to his upper legs and Bull receiving a wound to his foot.
        
  Meanwhile , Wolf and Riz lie dead in the street!

Which leads to much speculation to their deaths, with little to go on, local police rely on faulty witness testimony that the dispute came about from a conflict both men (Meech and Wolf) were having over a girl whom accompanied Meech to the club.

           But the allegation given to local police was dismissed by federal investigators who summed it up as a gunfight over turf in regards to drugs.

         The feds seemed to have a better understanding of the situation as well as the parties involved, in a November 2003 article of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, an agent who spoke anonymously stated that Meech and his organization the BLACK MAFIA FAMILY were being watched as an “underworld group that provides bodyguards and enforcement for various hip hop big wigs”

       Perhaps, this could be the same “ENTERPRISE” that the disgruntled Kirk Burrows referered to???
