Who is Nuke Bizzle and why is he in trouble?
So this rapper is in big trouble. He's going to prison for his song lyrics. Let me explain. Now his name is Nuke Bizzle, and he's 31, and he's a rapper living in Tennessee, and bro is just trying to make money. But like, without getting an actual legit job, because you know, who wants that? And so instead, he gets a gig getting paid on the side as, uh, we'll just call it an unlicensed pharmacist. And this makes him a little cash, but unfortunately for him, this kind of business comes with risks. And bam, he gets arrested for it. And then he gets arrested again, and then he gets arrested again. And so pretty quickly, he's starting to think this hustle isn't working out for him and that he needs to find something different. But one day, something crazy happens that changes everything.
How did the pandemic create opportunities for scams?
It's 2020, and suddenly, boom, the pandemic hits all of us. And people are getting sick, hospitals are filling up, businesses are shutting down. People are staying indoors a lot more. Now, because so many people are out of work, the government expands unemployment benefits temporarily so that people who can't work can still afford to eat and pay rent while this pandemic plays out. Now while most people see this as a necessary service, Nuke Bizzle sees this as an opportunity to try and get rich. And he comes up with a plan to straight up scam the government. And so he starts getting together some stolen identities. And he gives each of them their own address and their own work history so that it all looks legit.
How did Nuke Bizzle execute his scam?
Then he goes online and he applies for all these government benefits for each of these stolen identities. And suddenly, pow, he actually gets approved. And pretty quickly, the government starts paying him money. And he's like, holy, that worked. And so he does it again. And then he does it again and again and again. So he makes more and more money. And he ends up applying for benefits 92 different times. Now this money usually doesn't come in the form of cash. It usually comes in these like little debit cards. So now bro has stacks and stacks of these government benefits debit cards. And so the money just keeps rolling in by the tens of thousands, then by the hundreds of thousands. And soon enough, he scammed over $1.2 million in unemployment. Then he apparently takes the cards and uses them to withdraw cash. So out of this 1.2 million, he withdraws $700,000 in cash. And so now he's got 700 grand. And of course, he's got to spend this money. And not only does he have to spend it, but he's got to get on his Instagram and flex. Like here he is buying some new shoes.
Here he is in some new clothes with a Gucci belt. Here he is showing off his new teeth. And here he is just showing off stacks of money. And here he is showing off more money. And here he is with money literally falling out of his pockets. And if showing off your stolen government benefits wealth isn't bad enough, then Nuke Bizzle gets an even better idea. Why not write a rap song about it?
What consequences did Nuke Bizzle face for his actions?
And in this song, he could explain how exactly he pulled off this crime. Because remember... He's an actual rapper. Like he puts out songs. He's got a page on Spotify with a little catalog. He's even got quite a few music videos out. Like he's really going for it with this whole rap thing. And so he finds a beat and he raps a bunch of bars about this scam he's pulling.
Why did Nuke Bizzle create a rap song about his scam?
And he teams up with another rapper whose name is, and I'm not making this up... Fat Wissa. And so Nuke Bizzle and Fat Wissa collaborate on this song called EDD. And EDD stands for Employment Development Department because that's literally the name of the government agency that he's ripping off. Oh, but that's not all. These guys make a music video too. And that video, combined with the lyrics, is basically just Nuke Bizzle laying out his whole crime. Now to spare you the whole song, because I assume you don't want to hear it, I'll just read you some of the lyrics. It's time to ball like the NBA, 10 cards, I'm swiping 10k a day. You gotta sell cocaine, I just gotta file a claim.
