Cardi B’s best friend, Star Brim, has been charged in connection with a violent street gang for allegedly slashing a person and being involved with racketeering.
According to an indictment, filed by the Southern District of New York, Star Brim was among 18 defendants named in a sweeping gang-related case involving the “59 Brims” a subset of the ‘Bloods Gang.’
Star Brim (aka Yonetter Respass) was not arrested in the case at this point, because she is only days away from giving birth.
According to NBC New York, the indictment says Star is one of the highest-ranking females in the gang and is called the “godmother.” She has been charged with slashing a person and participating in a racketeering conspiracy.
Prosecutors say other female members of the gang are required to report to her.
The documents reveal details of the structure and dealings inside the gang, including their two rank structures. One for members inside the prison system, and one for street members.
Cardi B recently discussed her own experience with the Bloods gang, telling GQ she started hanging out with Bloods when she was 16 years old.
She claims she walked away from the lifestyle when she realized it was a “lifelong commitment.” Instead, she became a stripper at 19 which moved her away from the criminal life.
Brim has become a celebrity on social media after her longtime friend Cardi B posted several times about her relationship with Star Brim.
In 2018, Cardi gave an update to her millions of Instagram followers saying how proud she is of her friend turning her life around.
“Since ya like to talk Soo much s and ya bitches is maaa happy like if Star died or something let me give you the run down .For two and a half years Star been out on bail .She got caught by the Feds and lost a lot of s.
