Cops Say Fabolous’ Street Family Responsible for Celebrity Stick-Ups

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  29 Comments

Police in New York City say they have linked the Brooklyn based crew of rapper Fabolous, to the robberies of several high profile celebrities and athletes. According to the New York Post, the Street Family, which cops say is based out of the Breevort Houses where the rapper grew up, has been targeting nightclub patrons in the lower Manhattan neighborhoods of Chelsea and Flatiron for some time now. Fab’s friend, Shamel McKinney, was fatally stabbed outside of club Duvet last month after cops say he tried to rob another man of his necklace. Now police believe they can connect the Street Family to the muggings of Celtic’s guard Sebastian Telfair, and ex-N.Y. Giants cornerback Frank Walker. They also claim the crew has robbed boxing champ Zab Judah twice. “They don’t care,” one unidentified police source told the Post. “The bigger the celebrity, the better.” The NYPD believes that the crew searches out celebrities who are sporting expensive jewelry, then alert each other via cellphone. The victims are then targeted as they walk to their cars. Fabolous has previously denied any connection to this type of illegal activity and has denied allegations that he was present at club Duvet the night his friend was killed.

    You cant blame Fab on this one he aint nobodies dad and just cause he rolls with them dont mean he got shit to do with it..

    At the end of the day he can show them the well but if the dont want to drink then that they biz..

    Just cause they nt on wht he on dont mean they aint tryin to get their own together to get on wht he on.. He aint exactly gona drop a mill on every nigga in the click..

    I doubt fab got any say on anything or would be involved in the hits this just speculation and feds tryin to slander him.

    So what if they his boys Fab gettin legal money so leave him alone.. Wht a next man eats dont make him shit..

    honestly this is nothing new at all….. these niggaz allegedly robbed ODB back in the day…..

    i ain’t saying Fab did it, but if anyone knows about real NYC street shit on a level beyond a rap song or New Jack City, should know the history behind that crew…..

    some even say that Fab’s name suggests an affiliation to the “Lo-Life’s”, i think that the name thing is just coincidental….

    either way i hope Fab ain’t got shit to do with this and can resume his career, the hip-hop community done took too many broomsticks up the ass this year!!!!

  • uh oh

    SF= Street Family as in Fabs crew not watever tha fuck u was thinkin liqthez guess u was thinkin of san fran

  • Capostatus

    Fabolous is not a gangsta. He is not tough neither is he from the street. He hangs around people who hate. Now if i he’s crew robbed me and i was a rapper i would target him for the theft. U don’t beef with one person but the whole crew that person has direct association with. First time he got shot in the leg. Next time he won’t be so lucky. If his crew keeps hating on and robbing hard working, successful black men then this nigga desrves to die. And don’t expect no sympathy from niggaz after ya ass is 6 feet under when all u died for was associating yourself with haters. Somebody please kill that nigga.

    • nellz

      ur a fuckinn idiot…plain and simple

    • Cam

    • http://xxLMAG JOHNNY BOY(B Stuy Reppa)

      F.Y.I Fab is from the street. Brevoort Projects to be exact. And anyone from Bed Stuy or Brooklyn know how they get down. That’s
      not 2 say that Fab is a criminal cause he’s not. He’s a talented brother. But Street Fam got some real niggaz. Unfortunately for Fab that could be his downfall. I know it’s hard for him because they all grew up together and they family but he has to learn how to seperate the streets from the business or he gon fuck around and be wit Shyne. We don’t need that.

  • brasco
