Bleu Capone said recently made it highly controversial. In a shocking turn of events, he publicly questioned the street credibility of 4PF, spearheaded by Grammy-award-winning rapper Lil Baby. Capone only poured fuel on speculations considered to have been running in the air for a while now concerning possible RICO charges against Lil Baby and the guys around him.
Bleu Capone harked back to 4PF, claiming that most of the street activities propagated by the group are not a true reflection in the context of reality. “They were never really in the streets as they act like,” Capone said. His comments contradict the public image that 4PF has portrayed and, in particular, discredit some of the speculated rumors of legal woes for the crew. In any event, these Capone claims have certainly come at a critical time, with eyes closing in on the Atlanta Hip Hop community particularly hard.
Add to the drama: Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis’ announcement of more high-profile RICO cases coming to Atlanta. That, of course, set tongues wagging that Lil Baby and 4PF were next in line. While there have been no charges filed, the specter does loom large. Lil Baby finally responded to the speculation with a cryptic yet defiant statement: “Only God can judge me.”
In May 2022, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation labeled 4PF as a street gang affiliated with the Crips. The label increased public scrutiny and brought into question the nature of activities carried out by the group-to a label which pride themselves on representing the streets of Atlanta, that could make all the difference in image. But these claims are just speculations, with no concrete evidence presented so far.
Lil Baby was born Dominique Armani Jones and has definitely had his share of run-ins with the law. Back in 2019, he was arrested in Atlanta due to reckless driving and eluding police; it was a situation that was resolved without incident. More recently, in 2024, he got arrested in Las Vegas because it was found out that he carried a concealed weapon without a recognized permit. Even though his lawyers mentioned that he has a valid permit in Georgia, Nevada didn’t recognize out-of-state permits; hence, he got arrested. These incidents, even if isolated, add to the narrative of his legal troubles as a rapper.
Among all the speculations, Lil Baby’s philanthropy tells a different story. From his investment group that-establishes young Black millionaires to creating jobs in Atlanta, the rapper has been doing his best to create opportunities for the next generation. Such moves prove he is working hard not just for community empowerment but also for a legacy to live well beyond music.
Through it all, rumors swirl, yet neither Lil Baby nor anyone with 4PF has been indicted in the case. It’s best to go with the flow regarding verified information. Though Bleu Capone’s words did shed doubt on 4PF, no charges filed mean a call for caution in reaching any conclusions.
