Eugene “Big U” Henley is currently navigating significant legal challenges as he faces a new superseding indictment related to his ongoing federal RICO case. Notably, the charges do not directly implicate him in the murder of Nipsey Hussle, but they do reference alleged tensions between the two.
Big U has firmly denied the federal charges against him, which include various accusations regarding his criminal activities. According to an exclusive report from AllHipHop, federal prosecutors have introduced new claims, including intercepted phone calls that suggest Big U referred to himself as the “hunter” of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips and made allusions to gang intimidation.
In one intercepted call dated December 31, 2022, Big U allegedly stated that he was “bigger” than the late Nipsey Hussle, claiming he had disciplined the rapper and was more dominant than any other member of the Rollin’ 60s. On another call from January 1, 2023, he reportedly declared, “I’m not beefing with Nipsey Hussle because if anyone beefs with me, ‘I’ma kill him. Period.'”
Additional allegations against Big U include threats towards local businesses, boasting about his activities in rival gang territories, and claims of possessing firearms. He also stands accused of smuggling contraband, such as prison phone sales, which links back to assertions that he maintained violent control over gang activities in Los Angeles—a claim he continues to deny.
Big U has also taken steps to protect his reputation, issuing a cease and desist to No Jumper in response to allegations connecting him to Nipsey Hussle’s murder. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how these new developments will impact his case.
