The Black Mafia Family (BMF) is a drug trafficking and money laundering organization that originated in the late 1980s in Detroit, Michigan. Founded by brothers Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, BMF became known for its large-scale distribution of cocaine across the United States. The group was also involved in the music industry, promoting artists and creating a brand that extended beyond illegal activities. BMF gained notoriety for its lavish lifestyle, which included expensive cars, jewelry, and parties. The organization was eventually dismantled by law enforcement in the mid-2000s, leading to the arrest of many members, including the Flenory brothers. Their story has been depicted in various media, including the television series BMF, which highlights their rise and fall in the drug trade.
