Rapper FBG Casino (real name Rico Deville Buice), who is the brother of superstar Future, has been charged in a federal drug‑trafficking case following a major bust in Georgia. Authorities say they found 21 kilograms of fentanyl and over $380,000 in cash during the operation.
Details of the Arrest
- The raid occurred on November 14, 2025, at an Airbnb in Forest Park, Georgia, where FBI and DEA agents say Buice tried to flee through a side door.
- Agents reportedly discovered 21 kg of fentanyl—some packaged with a Louis Vuitton logo—and $300,000 in a cardboard box plus $80,000 in a Goyard bag believed to belong to Buice.
- Prosecutors allege the evidence strongly suggests Buice was actively involved in a drug‑distribution network. They are seeking to hold him without bond, citing his conflicts between reported income and spending, and the scope of the operation.
Why It Matters
- The scale of the seizure—both in fentanyl quantity and cash—is significant and highlights growing concerns over the trafficking of synthetic opioids in hip‑hop affiliated circles and Atlanta/Southeast distribution hubs.
- For Future and his Freebandz collective, the arrest of a close family member on such serious federal charges may bring additional scrutiny and brand risk.
- The case may underscore broader law‑enforcement efforts targeting networks using celebrity access, luxury branding and social‑media reach to facilitate trafficking.
What to Watch
- Whether federal prosecutors will file formal indictments charging Buice with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance and other felonies.
- If the court grants bail, or whether Buice remains detained without bond pending trial.
- How the evidence—fentanyl packaging, branded bags, alleged mis‑reported income—will be used in court to establish trafficking intent and scale.
- How Future and his team respond publicly, and whether this impacts collaborations, endorsements or the Freebandz label’s operations.
