Lil Meech’s father, Big Meech, was a prominent figure in the criminal underworld, founding the Black Mafia Family (BMF) organization, which was involved in various illegal activities.
His father’s incarceration has had a profound impact on Lil Meech’s life, shaping his experiences and influencing his artistic expression.

Flenory Jr.’s portrayal of his father in the BMF television series garnered widespread acclaim, with The Face hailing his performance as “brilliant” – a remarkable feat for his acting debut.
