According to the Los Angeles Times , Flesh was pulled over by police in because his brake light was out. They subsequently searched his car and found a 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol that he claimed belonged to his wife. Admittedly, this was a bad look for someone with past gun charges who was also on parole. Flesh was arrested for the weapons charge, "possession of ammunition," and "misdemeanor drug possession," but pleaded not guilty. The gun charges were dropped not long after.
However, it only took a year for the star to get arrested again. In , Flesh was dramatically cuffed at his own sold out concert at the House of Blues in Cleveland in connection to a year-old incident. According to Cleveland. Flesh told CBS News that the incident never happened. Flesh-N-Bone didn't just have to deal with gun-related legal issues.
Behind the scenes, the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper had an extremely tumultuous home life. In , he narrowly avoided prison time in an alleged domestic abuse case by taking a plea deal.
According to TMZ , the star was arrested following an alleged physical altercation with his wife and was "charged with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, threatening her, and false imprisonment. He got three years of probation, hours of community service, and time-served. The following year, tragedy struck again. According to TMZ , Flesh's year-old daughter was reported missing when she never returned home from her shift at Taco Bell. She had last been seen with a year-old male named Alberto Silva Sanchez.
Two weeks later, a family member tracked her down and brought her home. It's not clear where she was or what she was doing, but Flesh told TMZ , "I am very grateful that she is back home and okay. The star also had a side-gig in the weed business — legally. This is a huge jump from the group's beginnings of allegedly selling crack cocaine on the streets of Ohio, though rumor has it those drugs weren't even real, so Flesh-N-Bone may be one of the best or worst drug dealers in rap history, depending on how you look at it.
According to a report in Michigan Live , Flesh partnered with medical marijuana company The Green Oasis to create a strain of cannabis called "Phifty Caliber Kush" for patients in Flint, where medical marijuana is legal.
Apparently, it was a pretty good pain reliever. Later that year, the Broward Palm Beach New Times named Bone Thugs-N-Harmony "one of the most friendly ensembles in the history of hip-hop," a title the group clearly worked hard for based on the sheer number of lines its members spit about the sticky icky.
At the time of this writing, it's unclear if Flesh further invested in the legal cannabis industry. Money's got to come from somewhere, and let's be honest, in recent years, that's not record sales.
Spotify only gives artists a mere fraction of a cent for each stream, so can you really blame Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for taking that sweet chain restaurant cash? In February , the band joined the ranks of celebs who seemingly sold out for some greasy eats.
Uh oh. There's going to be some beef here — or actually, chicken. According to Rolling Stone , as part of the group's partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings, the band changed its name to Boneless Thugs-N-Harmony, because the members simply loved the chain's boneless wings way too much. Bizzy was not involved, and it's clear only two of the original five know that boneless wings are not, in fact, real wings.
They're chicken nuggets. Sorry, we don't make the rules, but we would take the advertising money, too. The members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have certainly settled down since their early days. He had a Jewish white rap group, back then, called Blood of Abraham. Like I said, [Eazy] was on his visionary shit a long time ago, and when we got there, we knew what it was.
The first time he heard us, he was on us. The idea to do solo albums and the Mo Thugs side projects with your friends were laid out even before you met Eazy-E? We knew what we wanted as soon as we got the opportunity. We had plans to come out with a few Bone albums, then each member would start doing solo albums.
I still think we did it a little too soon, the solo albums, but it was always in the plan. The tours with Mo Thugs must have been massive. Man, we had like seven tour buses, three or four big rigs with the whole tour set. We was moving crazy. You suffered a collapsed lung while recording your new album Chasing the Devil. How did that happen? I had an auto-immune disease called sarcoidosis. It starts attacking your healthy organs — your lungs, your heart, whatever.
In my case, it started attacking my lungs, and I was going through it for a while. Coughing, crazy chest pains.
You just start to learn and look at things a bit more different. You look at people different. I mean certain things. Just because I have a different perspective on life and things, you know? It happens right before your eyes, all of the stuff you see in the news and what certain people are representing. There is good. There is evil. I have faith in what God says, and if you just look at what he told us, everything matches up. It just is what it is. Do some rappers unknowingly forward the agenda of the Illuminati?
Most definitely, they do. Just in a lot of ways, the things they represent, the symbols and the signs and all of the things that come with it. Drama is certainly no stranger to Bone Thugs; the group feuded a couple of years ago because Bizzy refused to promote BTNHResurrection due to a dispute he had with their label, Ruthless. The remaining members say they still have beef with the label but will help to promote their next two Ruthless releases, which will complete their contract.
Bone Thugs said they had enough this last go 'round because he kept missing their public appearances and shows. Bone Thugs said they decided to stop holding their tongues about Bizzy because fans were resentful when the group wouldn't appear in full force at events. I'm like, 'How long you gonna be mad at us for what another na do?
The harmonizing thugs have looked to Phil Collins to fill the void left by Bizzy — at least in their latest video, "Take Me Home. Phil really liked the song. He said a lot of rappers use his song 'In the Air Tonight,' but he said he felt special about this song. He wasn't going to clear it, but he heard the song and he was all with it.
