Young Jeezy Named In Cocaine Trafficking

Prosecution witness Ralph "Ralphie" Simms, who was indicted last year in a related federal drug case in Los Angeles, has been cooperating with the federal government as it continues to build its cocaine-conspiracy case against alleged Black Mafia Family member Fleming "Ill" Daniels, the paper reported. Simms reportedly told the jury that he is hoping his cooperation will result in a reduced sentence.

Simms, testifying in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, told the court that Jeezy — whose nickname is the "Snowman" — was on the receiving end of multiple kilos of cocaine from the Black Mafia Family, a drug gang accused of moving hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of the drug across the country.

According to Creative Loafing, Simms testified that he worked for the Black Mafia Family and that he was charged with unloading the gang's cocaine from limousines with secret compartments. He told the court that he'd pile hundreds of bricks of coke in various stash houses and that, back in fall 2004, high-ranking BMF members Chad "J-Bo" Brown and Martez "Tito" Byrth ordered him to set aside multi-kilo cocaine "shipments" for two customers.
One of them, he said, was "Jeezy."
"The rapper?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney asked.
"Yes," Simms replied.

Your honor, I have 2 words for the witness....Stop Snitching :)
