Blacc Zacc, the South Carolina-born artist, faces serious legal challenges following his arrest in Spartanburg earlier this week. He has been charged with multiple offenses, including RICO conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, and gun violations, according to WIS News 10. The case stems from allegations that he orchestrated a murder-for-hire plot in 2021, reportedly in response to a rival gang member stealing a diamond chain.
In a federal indictment, prosecutors assert that Blacc Zacc is the founder of the alleged street gang, Dirty Money Entertainment (DME). He pleaded not guilty during his initial court appearance on October 29 and is scheduled for a detention hearing in Greenville on the upcoming Monday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is seeking to keep him in custody until the trial begins, citing the serious nature of the charges.
Details of the Case and Previous Controversies
The indictment details a complex web of alleged criminal activity linked to Blacc Zacc and his associates. Authorities claim that the murder-for-hire plot was not an isolated incident but part of a broader criminal enterprise tied to the gang. As the investigation unfolds, the implications for Blacc Zacc could be severe, potentially leading to a life sentence if he is convicted.
This arrest is not the first controversy surrounding Blacc Zacc this year. In March, he was involved in a public dispute with his then-partner, Renni Rucci, which resulted in their breakup. The altercation reportedly began over a song by Kevin Gates, which led Blacc Zacc to suspect infidelity. Rucci denied the claims, stating in a livestream, “That’s a song from five years ago. You cheat in real life, not me.” Despite her attempts to clarify the situation, the conflict escalated, culminating in Blacc Zacc asking her to leave their home. This incident drew significant backlash on social media, with many users criticizing his actions.
As legal proceedings continue, Blacc Zacc’s team has yet to publicly comment on the recent arrest. The outcome of the detention hearing and subsequent trial will likely have significant implications for his career and personal life.
