The indictment accuses the group of committing a series of racketeering crimes, including extortion, human trafficking, fraud and the 2021 murder of an aspiring rapper. Identified by the government as the Big U Enterprise, authorities say the group &#8220;operated as a mafia-like organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the Big U Enterprise at times partnered with the Rollin 60s and other criminal elements for mutual benefit, the Big U Enterprise is a distinct and independent criminal enterprise engaged in criminal activity including murder, extortion, robbery, trafficking and exploiting sex workers, fraud, and illegal gambling,&#8221; the USAO says.<\/p>\n<p>The indictment accuses Big U of killing a rapper who was signed to U&#8217;s Uneek Music record label in 2021.\u00a0Authorities say the rapper, only identified in court documents as &#8220;R.W.,&#8221; traveled to Las Vegas on Big U&#8217;s dime to record music. However, R.W. did not record at the agreed-upon rate and instead did a diss song aimed at Big U. Big U allegedly drove to Vegas to confront R.W. before shooting him in the head and leaving his body in a ditch in the desert off Interstate 15.\u00a0Big U then reportedly ordered the surveillance footage from the studio to be scrubbed and told witnesses not to speak on the murder.<\/p>\n<p>Big U is also accused of submitting a fraudulent application for a COVID-19 pandemic relief loan and\u00a0enriching the enterprise by defrauding donors to nonprofit entities under the control of the Big U Enterprise, including Henley\u2019s charity, Developing Options, a Hyde Park-based nonprofit.<\/p>\n<h4>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/police-raids-in-hip-hop\/\" target=\"_blank\">27 Hip-Hop-Related Police Raids<\/a><\/h4>\n<h3>Big U Turns Himself In<\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday afternoon, Big U shared a video on social media while he was on his way to turn himself in.
