[quote=MightyDR]IIRC Nicky Barnes mentioned in his book that he became friends with Madonna while Madonna was in prison for murdering a rival drug dealer.
Thanks for the summary NYMafia
Now I don't know what to think. All sources I've come across say he did 11 years for narcotics (24-35 years old) and that is why he didn't get made after he got out, even though he was pulling in mad cash, they couldn't induct a convicted drug dealer because dealing was officially banned and it wouldn't send a good message to other family members and associates. It's like giving a guy his button for breaking the rules. Not a good look.
If the murder conviction is true (and it's looking that way), that means he did 15 years in prison, got out and started dealing H with Barnes for 5 years, then back in the can for 20. Fuck he did a lot of time.
