So the other part of this is

Lil Nicky was made into the Lukes for protection
Under the condition that he would take back over the Philly LCN I guess when he had enough power to do so.

He made enough money they promoted him to Capo

He started making his own crew from Philly and NJ

So he really was making that move
???

WOW

And more than likely that meeting with Uncle Joe was to gather support against the Lukes moving in on them?

How many guys did lil nicky have?
And after he went away the Lukes didn't want them anymore??

That is real interesting...
