Early Life

Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., the talented son of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory Sr. and Latarra Eutsey, was born in Miami, Florida, on April 22, 2000.

Despite the challenges he faced in his early life, including the incarceration of his father when he was just five years old, Lil Meech has risen to become a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

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.

Career

In 2019, Demetrius Flenory Jr., adopting the moniker “Lil Meech” as a tribute to his father, “Big Meech,” released his debut single “Bad Habits” independently. The music video features a poignant recording of his father’s voice from prison, showcasing their emotional connection.

In 2021, Flenory Jr.’s life took a dramatic turn when his father, still incarcerated, informed him that renowned rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson had acquired the rights to the Black Mafia Family’s story.

A film or television series was in the works, chronicling the true story of the Flenory brothers’ rise to infamy as drug lords in 1980s Detroit.
