Many prominent rappers have made references to Big Meech and Black Mafia Family over the years, cementing their name in hip-hop forever. However, Starz&#8217; <em>BMF</em> has opened up the gates to properly tell the story of Big Meech and Southwest T from their rise in Detroit to all across America.</p>

<p>For <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/big-meech-flexes-his-muscles-in-new-photos-from-prison-news.130295.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Demetrius &#8220;Lil Meech&#8221; Flenory Jr.,</a> who plays the role of his father on <em>BMF</em>, the legacy surrounding Big Meech wasn&#8217;t explained to him by family members, but rather, from word of mouth. During his recent interview on <em>All The Smoke</em>, Lil Meech revealed that he had no idea who Big Meech was until <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/50-cent-adds-big-meechs-son-to-black-mafia-family-cast-news.124631.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">he had gotten older</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;I really didn&#8217;t understand until I started my teenage years,&#8221; Meech explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m hearing the rappers say his name in songs and I&#8217;m going out and I&#8217;m just running into all type of different people and they tellin&#8217; me what my dad did for them. Because my family still wasn&#8217;t telling me as I grew up, like, &#8216;Your daddy is Big Meech.'&#8221;</p>
<p>While the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/bun-b-says-bmfs-big-meech-was-arrested-on-his-way-to-his-birthday-news.123020.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BMF empire</a> crumbled, Big Meech was still able to provide his children with the type of life he wasn&#8217;t afforded as a child. This meant top-quality education at private school &#8212; a vast contrast from the education Big Meech received during his teenage years.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m findin&#8217; out how big he is through people I&#8217;m around and stuff I see on the internet,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I grew up not knowing who my dad was. When I was in private school, I remember my homie showin&#8217; me Wikipedia pages of my dad. Like, &#8216;You know this your daddy?'&#8221;</p>
