Lil Meech continues to dominate the world of acting, thanks to his impressive portrayal of his father in the series based on the Black Mafia Family. Despite his lack of experience in acting, his performance on BMF had fans awaiting his next move with each episode. Off the screen, Meech continues to deal with the perils of fame, specifically unsubstantiated claims by folks on the Internet, whether it has to do with baring his manhood on screen or smelling “musty.” However, even with his star status, he still has time to put the rumors to rest.
Last year, a woman hopped on the Internet after meeting the BMF star, who she suggested had terrible hygiene. “Lil Meech was very musty on Friday night,” the woman said in a TikTok video. “He had went to six places and he smelled like a pound of onions. I just want to know what possessed him to put that long-sleeve shirt and to be so musty like that… That’s my dawg but he was musty… We talkin’ ‘bout he been musty for the past week.” The comments immediately went viral.
Shortly after the woman posted the video, various members attached to BMF responded to the rumors. Da’Vinchi, who plays Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, slammed the rumors. “I don’t know where this is coming from, but Meech is a clean dude. I work with this guy, you know, we work real close together, and it’s not something I’m aware of,” he said. Meanwhile, 50 Cent clowned Meech after the woman said he smelled like onions. Lil Meech then commented on the post, claiming she was “lying straight thru her teeth.”
Although Meech appeared to be offended by the suggestion that he stinks, it seems as though he isn’t entirely bad at the woman’s TikTok. The actor recently sat down with Oracle Media who asked him about the funniest thing he’s heard about himself on Instagram. The BMF actor simply said, “I stink,” with a grin on his face as he reflected on the TikToker’s comments. Evidently, he holds no hard feelings and can laugh about the entire situation. Check out Meech’s comments above.
The Internet can’t stop talking about Lil Meech’s performance in the latest episode of BMF. While plenty of discussion surrounding Yung Miami’s acting chops, Lil Meech has been subject to plenty of speculation due to a nude scene that he participated in. At one point in the episode, Big Meech heads to Magic City with the crew where he meets a dancer who wants her tuition paid. Meech is brought to a room in the back where he proceeds to have sexual intercourse with the woman before his penis is shown on camera.
The internet had a field day when the episode debuted and Twitter came through with the jokes. While the “Big Meech” jokes undoubtedly proliferated through the timeline, several women also wondered if he was actually nude for the scene. It’s not uncommon for actors to use prosthetic body parts when shooting scenes and many presumed that to be the case in this particular scene. And while Lil Meech didn’t really acknowledge the scene on social media, he caught wind of some of the commentary and finally addressed the matter.
After the clip began to surface online, one woman cast doubts about the authenticity of Lil Meech’s nude scene in BMF. “So y’all all gone act like y’all don’t know that was fake? Be fr. It was way too high up on his stomach for one. For two, it looked fake,” she commented. You really never know who’s in the comments but Meech is apparently skimming through the comment section in his downtime. He called out the women in the comments, responding, “Stop hating b*tch.”
Besides his brush with a commenter, Lil Meech has been at the center of dating rumors after he was spotted with influencer Kris Summers. A video captured the two together at a nail salon in Atlanta. Though they could very well just be friends, the Internet ran with the rumors and continued to crack jokes at Meech’s expense. However, he doesn’t seem to be sweating it too hard, writing, “Opinions don’t matter to me,” on his Instagram Story. Episode 9 of BMF season 2 debuts this Friday. In the meantime, read our comprehensive guide to the Black Mafia Family here.
There are few things that 50 Cent enjoys more in the world than free marketing. BMF star Lil Meech took a page out of Fif’s book and began berating the cast of Power Book II: Ghostthis week, beginning with Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. Eventually, he dragged his father, Big Meech, into the conversation, who stated that he doesn’t think Power can stand next to BMF. Meech stated that the show didn’t seem realistic by any means, and criticized Rainey’s character, Tariq.
50 Cent executive produces both shows, but he has no problem pitting them against each other for the sake of views. The rapper shared a promo picture of Power Book II: Ghost including an image of Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. “Ghost is coming back @michaelraineyjr said that BMF shit ain’t hitting,” Fif captioned the post. Of course, it didn’t take long for Lil Meech or Rainey to react to Fif’s post. We thought the beef was put to rest but clearly, that wasn’t the case.
Lil Meech Tells 50 Cent: “This Look Like A Star Trek Promo”
It didn’t take long for Lil Meech to slide into the comment section of 50 Cent’s post and take aim at the Power cast. First, he criticized Gianni Paolo for looking as “soft as cotton.” However, he echoed his father’s sentiments surrounding Tariq’s lifestyle – living as a college student while trying to have one foot in the streets. “5 I hop this season he not still taking UBER and bringing his girls to his dorm. Can the n***a atleast buy a house?” Meech wrote under the post.
Later on, Meech shared a screenshot of 50 Cent’s post and compared the look of the latest Ghost promo shoot to Star Trek. “This look like a Star Trek promo,” he wrote. “Look at their serious face.” From there, he further reiterated that Tariq should spend money on something other than lawyer fees and Ubers this season. “LMAO somebody tell bro buy a Hellcat this season or sumn so he can stop walking home putting miles on them Air Forces,” he added. Check out Meech’s comments above.
50 Cent has really jumpstarted an acting competition between two of the actors of hi most revered shows to date; BMF‘s Lil Meech and Power‘s Michael Rainey Jr. The young actors from both STARZ series took their perspective stances against each other in the heat of the moment on Instagram following a post from Power an BMF creator and executive producer 50 Cent.
50 Cent posted Rainey on his Instagram, saying, “@michaelraineyjr on some s**t, he said where you at @lilmeechbmf?” The comment immediately garnered a response from the son of reputed drug kingpin Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, who said, “I’m working on being immortal 5 @50Cent these guys still mortal… let’s go to lunch later I’ll give u some free game @michaelraineyjr.”
Rainey replied, “how you working on being immortal but ya show dead? March 17 we gon show you how it’s done ok take notes.”
He’s flexed his acting skill as the star of BMF, but Lil Meech is also dipping his toes into music videos. Meech portrays his incarcerated father, Big Meech, in 50 cent’s hit series, and his acting career is progressing into other avenues. We’ve seen much more from the star as the second season of the show is underway, and HipHopDX recently spoke with Lil Meech about his feature in Queen Naija’s visual for her track, “Let’s Talk About It.”
“Oh, yeah. Queen Naija is amazing,” said Meech. “She’s an amazing singer.”
The songbird’s team apparently reached out to Lil Meech and asked if he was interested in starring in the music video.
“I said, of course. She a Detroit native, I love her music. My dad loves her music,” Meech also shared. “I said of course I would do it. It turned out amazing. We had a very fun time doing it. It was a good experience for me.”
When “Let’s Talk About It” was first released, Queen hopped on Instagram to give insight to her inspiration behind the record.
“New era begins tonight midnight! I made this song for all the n***as who always got something to say about what women need to do, but don’t even got their ish together,” Naija wrote.
She continued, “I need y’all to show out tonight! I need all the ladies pointin’ they fingers at they man temples tonight! I need all the lip syncin’, neck rollin’ stories tonight I’m reposting too. Show out.”

Lil Meech will sidestep charges in connection to his Ft. Lauderdale arrest last month. According to TMZ, Meech will not be charged due to a luggage mixup.
In December, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. was arrested at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after security discovered a firearm in his bags. Broward Co. Sherrif’s Office deputies arrived at the airport and arrested Lil Meech.
Reports state the firearm was a Glock 19 9mm. The gun was not loaded at the time, but there was a 15-round magazine in the bag as well. Meech was stated to not have a permit.
The gun belonged to Meech’s bodyguard, who was traveling with the star and admitted that it was his. Meech’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, said Meech showed it was his bodyguard’s gun, by showing the receipt, gun case, and permit.
The Broward Co. department also declined to file a misdemeanor charge “because of the facts and evidence available in the case and the statements made by [Lil Meech] and his employee.”
50 Cent just reacted to authorities BMF star Lil Meech’s cleared gun charges from an arrest at a December airport. What’s more is that the Queens rapper was much more to-the-point than usual in his Instagram jabs. Clearly it’s no laughing matter, as the 22-year-old actor faced a felony charge.

Furthermore, his attorneys called the whole ordeal an innocent mistake. According to TMZ, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office dropped its original felony charge against Meech of “introducing a firearm into the sterile area of the airport.” Moreover, said arrest occurred on December 13th of last year. After the whole ordeal, the actor got some bling to commemorate his breakout role.
Police arrested Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr., after airport security discovered a gun in his carry-on luggage. Although all signs pointed to trouble, Meech and his team clarified that the gun and bag belonged to his bodyguard. Reportedly, the bodyguard tried to make this clear, but officials paid him no mind.
Since then, Flenory Jr.’s attorney Bradford Cohen presented prosecutors with a purchase receipt, gun case, and license to carry that disproved his client’s ownership of the confiscated materials. Also, he explained that, given the similarities between Meech’s bag and his bodyguard’s, they mixed things up at the airport.
Moreover, authorities decided to retract from potentially charging the actor with a misdemeanor, based on evidence presented by the “defense.” Even with some hiccups along the way, it seems last month smoothed over well enough for Meech.
Still, 50 was much quicker than the court with his reaction, response, and post-clearance moves. “Ok that’s out the way, now let’s go!” he wrote. Then, his BMF star thanked him in the comments. “Your loyalty is unmatched. I love you and i thank u for everything,” he wrote. Both starts are looking forward to the show’s third season, which was renewed earlier this week.
However, what do you think about 50 Cent’s reaction to Lil Meech’s dropped gun charges? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest from 50 Cent and his TV universes.
Lil Meech is best known for his work with 50 Cent on BMF. Last December, though, he made headlines for a different reason entirely. Mid-way through the month, the 22-year-old was at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Unfortunately, TSA agents uncovered a 9MM gun in a carry-on bag he put through the security scanner.
According to TMZ, it was actually the actor’s bodyguard who owns both the luggage and the weapon. At the time of the incident, airport employees were informed of the mix-up. They chose to ignore the guard and bust Meech because he had placed the problematic bag on the belt himself.
The Detroit-born star worked with Bradford Cohen on the case. The attorney was able to present indisputable evidence to Broward County prosecutors that the pistol belongs to the bodyguard. He shared the weapon’s purchase receipt, holding case, and permit for the firearm.
Additionally, the celebrity lawyer noted that Meech and his bodyguard have similar tastes in luggage. While they were rushing to catch a flight, the Taurus star accidentally grabbed his staff’s bag, apparently leaving his behind.
The Broward County State Attorney’s Office has since confirmed to TMZ that prosecutors are declining to file a misdemeanour charge against the rapper. This decision comes “because of the facts and evidence available in the case, and the statements made by [Lil Meech] and his employee.”

Upon hearing news of their friend’s arrest last month, famous faces like 50 Cent couldn’t help but tease the young star over his arrest. “What the f*ck! Lil Meech didn’t hear them say cut,” the “Candy Shop” rapper joked in a since-deleted post.
Power star Michael Rainey Jr. chimed in with, “When [tryna] prove ‘BMF’ is more realistic than ‘Power’ goes wrong.”
In other news Meech recently revealed exactly how much cash he dropped on his iconic BMF chain. The tea was spilt during the actor’s appearance on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” series.

Lil Meech recently spoke about his new BMF chain, which cost him $500K. Moreover, he spoke to GQ on their “On The Rocks” series to break down the new bling. Meech is best known for portraying his father, Big Meech, on 50 Cent’s Black Mafia Family series on Starz.

“You’re the first actor to be on ‘On The Rocks,’” the interviewers told Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr. “That’s crazy, bro,” he replied, “s**t, I’m glad to be here. I appreciate y’all having me, s**t. Feeling good, good to be on GQ.
“I’ve really been into jewelry since I was a baby, growing up,” the 22-year-old said. “My old ‘BMF’ pieces I don’t have no more,” he clarified as he showed off the new one that hung from his neck.
“Elliott charged me $200,000 just for this Cuban,” the actor stated, showing off the first part of the piece. “This Cuban is like 1,100 grams. It’s chunky, real big. I really can’t have this on for longer than three or four hours, my neck start hurting.
“The locket say ‘Elliante’ on it,” he added, referring to the chain’s designer. “You know what I’m saying? His name, his signature, it got the three big boogers on each side. So, ain’t no regular Cuban, you know? You might find a regular Cuban for 50 or for 100, maybe, but this 200 just for a kilo.”
“What’s the pendant cost then?” the interviewer asks. “Three, just for the pendant,” Meech clarified.
“This some s**t like, you gotta give my daddy,” the rapper expressed. “Like when he come home, I’ll keep this forever, you know? You can’t even go no bigger than this, you know? You don’t see no silver or gold, you see straight water.”
Meanwhile, Lil Meech recently detailed what his father, Big Meech, doesn’t appreciate about BMF. Moreover, Lil Meech portrays him in the series. Also, the young star posted bond for his recent arrest, and had to face clowning from 50 Cent and other stars from Power.
What do you think of Lil Meech’s half-million dollar chain for BMF? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back in to HNHH for the latest on the BMF universe.
Over thirteen months have passed since the Season 1 finale of BMF aired at the tail-end of 2021. The Starz original crime drama follows the rise, as well as the eventual downfall, of the infamous Black Mafia Family. Executive produced by Power mogul 50 Cent, BMF offers a dramatized account of Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory’s exploits as the founding members of one of the most notorious African American crime families in the history of the United States. What’s more, Big Meech’s own son — Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. — was cast in the lead role as his father, and rising actor Da’Vinchi portrayed Southwest T.
Together, Lil Meech and Da’Vinchi brought BMF’s story to light in a captivating way. While it wasn’t without its faults, BMF’s first season brought in an average of 0.379 million viewers per episode. The Season 1 finale featured the long-awaited showdown between Meech and fan-favorite villain Lamar Silas (portrayed by Eric Kofi-Abrefa), and it didn’t disappoint. BMF’s inaugural season finale brought in over half a million viewers on its own, and it set the stage for an even more exciting second season.
After a long wait and a myriad of updates amid 50 Cent and Starz’s ongoing beef, BMF is finally back. The Season 2 premiere aired on Friday, January 6, and it wasted no time setting up the show’s latest story arc. Without a doubt, a lot went down in the Solvan “Slick” Naim-directed episode. For a recap of all the new characters and plot twists featured in the 52-minute premiere, keep scrolling down. However, be warned: beyond this point, there are plenty of spoilers ahead.
Here’s Everything That Happened In BMF Episode 201: “Family Dinner”
Titled “Family Dinner,” BMF’s Season 2 opener is thematically centered around communal family moments. Whereas Season 1 kicked off with a flash-forward of Meech, the sophomoric outing begins with a flash-forward of T. After a written quote about family dinners fades away, T brings his crew together for a meal in St. Louis. According to T, Meech has already been arrested. Still, Southwest T is confident that he’ll evade the feds because he thinks he’s smarter than his brother. However, everything comes crashing down during T’s family dinner when officers storm his house. T is arrested by an aged-up Detective Bryant (portrayed by Steve Harri), and Leslie Jones makes a comedic cameo as Bryant’s partner.
Then, the show cuts back to the late 1980s. Meech prepares to smuggle product from Las Vegas back to Detroit. Before leaving Sin City, Meech quickly crosses paths with Rick “Freeway” Ross and Shower Posse’s Christopher Coke. After evading a potential arrest, Meech makes it back to Detroit safely.
Once back in Detroit, viewers are reunited with the younger version of Southwest T. In a nod back to Meech and T’s rift at Season 1’s conclusion, T takes his driver’s test. Despite a potential setback, he earns his license and prepares to go into business with his father. Later on in the episode, his child and baby’s mother (portrayed by Sydney Mitchell) return to Detroit. However, due to his growing crush on LaLa Anthony’s character Markaisha Taylor, he remains detached from his former love interest.

Elsewhere, the Flenory patriarch (portrayed by Russell Hornsby) links up with his wife (portrayed by Michole Briana White). Their relationship is still on the rocks because the family continues to struggle financially. Nevertheless, they refuse to accept monetary assistance from Meech. Thus, their familial ties are strained. For instance, tension boils over when the mother slaps her daughter, Nicole (portrayed by Laila Pruitt).
Drama quickly unfolds at the school’s basketball game. Both Meech and T attend the game and cross each other’s paths, but they still aren’t on good terms. Shockingly, one of the game’s attendees murders the team’s coach in cold blood over a payment dispute. The show eventually introduces the shooter as K-9 (portrayed by Rayan Lawrence), Meech’s volatile new connect. Apparently, Meech’s trip from Vegas to Detroit was part of K-9’s screening to see whether he could count on Meech. While being further vetted by K-9, Big L (portrayed by Walnette Marie Santiago) makes an appearance. She tells K-9 that she wouldn’t do business with Meech, causing K-9 to reconsider working with him, as well.
Amidst Meech and T’s growing drama, Detective Bryant embarks on a new path of his own. In contrast to his role as a dirty cop in Season 1, Bryant is now fully committed to arresting Meech. Furthermore, Bryant now has custody of his son, but that side plot takes a backseat to his efforts against Meech. In an early episode debrief, his supervisor reminds him that Kato and Lamar Silas’ murders need to be solved. As a result, she assigns him a new partner, Detective Veronica Jin (portrayed by Kelly Hu).

Together, they work to sniff out the 50 Boys and prevent additional street violence. In a surprising demonstration of her grit, Detective Jin hits Dink (portrayed by actor/rapper JVSUN) with her car. They arrest him, and Bryant clearly gains respect for his new partner. As a result, he brings her to a heavily policed hospital and shows her Lamar Silas is still alive. The Season 1 villain has been detained and renamed by authorities, but he remains in a coma. After that insane reveal, the show jumps back to Meech and B-Mickie (portrayed by Myles Truitt).
Despite enduring a major setback with Dink’s arrest, Meech still doubles down on his attempt to work with K-9. His new mentor, and potential future adversary, agrees to bring Meech into his business. Without hesitation, he assigns Meech 20 bricks. However, before Meech can even celebrate the win, K-9 warns Meech to never be late with his money. In fact, he casually informs Meech he wouldn’t hesitate to kill him and his brother over a late payment. Then, K-9 delivers the Season 2 premiere’s second jaw-dropper. After presenting his team with gifts of jewelry, K-9 gives Meech a box bigger than everyone else’s. Surprisingly, the box contains Big L’s mouth, completely detached from her body. Earlier, K-9 and Big L seemed like close friends, so this is just a small example of his treachery.
Regardless, Meech is blinded by ambition, so he continues to push forward with his new product. He makes one last attempt to recruit T back to drug dealing, but his brother doesn’t budge. After a tense fight, they go their separate ways and prepare for two very different types of family dinners.

T eats a big meal with his family for their anticlimactic Sunday dinner. Contrarily, Meech eats takeout with his soldiers inside their crew’s headquarters. Meech deads the 50 Boys moniker that he and T used throughout the first season and officially rebrands his crew as the Black Mafia Family.
Although Meech’s call to “pledge allegiance to the Black Mafia Family” could’ve been a satisfying conclusion, the premiere keeps going. After the Flenory family dinner, T overhears his mother and girlfriend’s strategy to get him out of the streets. He confronts them about it, and he immediately loses trust in his entire family. While he may not yet realize it, Meech also can’t trust the people around him. His newly confirmed right-hand man, B-Mickie, is unfortunately still working as an informant for Detective Bryant.
With drama slowly unfolding for the Flenory brothers, “Family Dinner” closes out with its third and final gut punch. In the final moments of the Season 2 premiere, Lamar awakens from his coma, undoubtedly spelling trouble for Meech and T.
