Federal agents have reportedly arrested a Detroit rapper who goes by the moniker The Big Homie — and it’s all thanks to Instagram. According to Detroit News, The Big Homie (real name Delmarco Craig) was taken into custody after an Instagram Live linked him to seven shootings.
The 22-year-old convicted felon thought it would be a wise move to flash several firearms while streaming, including a Glock pistol equipped with a device that converts the semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic machine gun. Federal agents immediately took notice of the gun because the attachments rendered it illegal.
Less than 48 hours after The Big Homie shared the video, ATF agents raided his home and discovered six firearms, two of which were allegedly stolen, and the modified Glock. Ballistics then linked the firearms to seven shootings over the last seven months, including a homicide and double non-fatal shooting that took place only hours after the Instagram Live.
Further tests also connected a rifle back to an April shooting at a local CVS pharmacy. Surveillance video of the shooting showed a stolen white 2021 Cadillac Escalade, which police eventually discovered in The Big Homie’s backyard during the federal raid. While inside the home, officers found a purple Los Angeles Dodgers hat similar to on he’s seen wearing online.

The Big Homie is currently being held without bond on charges that could net 10 years in federal prison. His arrest comes as part of the city’s initiative to crack down on violence sparked by Instagram and social media in Detroit, spearheaded by the prosecution of Seven Mile Bloods who promoted violence against enemies on Instagram.
“Every trigger-puller in Detroit should be put on notice,” ATF agent James Deir said in a statement. “Gun violence in our community will not be tolerated and those who choose to use a firearm to commit any type of violent act will be held to account for their misdeeds.”
Big Homie’s attorney Steven Scharg maintains it’s all an act, saying, “A lot of these young rap artists with social media today find themselves involving using guns in videos. That does not necessarily mean they’re thugs or believe in assaults. It’s just part of the façade of the rap industry.”
They should give him life without the possibility of parole for being guilty of aggravated stupidity.
What an idiot
“A lot of these young rap artists with social media today find themselves involving using guns in videos. That does not necessarily mean they’re thugs or believe in assaults. It’s just part of the façade of the rap industry.”- lmaaaaaaaaaoooo Okay. Del, Immortal, Talib, Bey, Mysonne…where your guns at? I hope this lawyer gets locked up too
He said young. Also, none of those dinosaurs are making new shit with your old ass. This dork said Del, as in homoglyohics, the flaming homosexual. SMH. Immortal Technique is easily the worst rapper ever BTW.
You are a complete idiot youngin. Go read and help the young people become more educated. It’s already too many young fools like you wasting air.
Complete idiot? LOL. Right. Name a hot track any of those weirdos made in the last 5 years. Hahahaha. I have a college education moron. I also play music that young hot women bop to. You put any of that shit on you might as well throw on Conway Twitty in this bitch. Unless you’re going for that menopause can’t get pregnant hitter. Jackas.

I really hope them detectives stop in the middle of interrogation and just bluntly told this fool “ you gotta be one of the most dumbest waste of life in the whole wide world”
That lawyer gonna tell a bold face lie just to grt paid and work a lame deal in the end. Same deal he’ll get for pleading guilty. Smh. The big homie is a big dummie.
That’s why I don’t listen to 90% of these fucking clowns who snitch on their homies and themselves. Fools don’t even know what it means to be a gangster anymore or how to articulate themselves when making Music and separating the street shit from it. That’s why these guys become millionaires and still go to jail over gun charges and bullshit
