Twenty-one kilos, hundreds of thousands in cash, and a half-brother to a rap titan. The plot is loud, messy, and impossible to ignore.
FBG Casino, real name Rico Deville Buice, who is also Future’s half-brother, was arrested in Georgia after a massive drug raid uncovered 21 kilograms of fentanyl, over $380,000 in cash, and a Glock 19.
The bust went down on November 14, when federal agents from the FBI, DEA, and Clayton County Police executed a search warrant at a rental property in Forest Park, Georgia. Casino tried to run out a side door, yeah, that dramatic, but was quickly arrested with $4,000 in his pocket.
At the scene, agents found not just the lethal fentanyl but tools that pointed straight to a serious trafficking operation: a money counter, a food sealer, and stacks of cash. And about $80,000 more was discovered inside a designer bag that prosecutors allege belonged to Casino.
The feds say Casino is charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and could go all the way to life.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, the seizure is a significant blow to transnational criminal operations. The bust is part of a larger initiative called “Operation Take Back America,” which targets networks that traffic in deadly narcotics.
Casino may have once been seen as a business mind in the music game. Now he’s facing one of the rawest, most dangerous charges on the federal books.
