Part 1: Charles Cosby on His Mom Catching His Dad Being Gay, Becoming Alcoholic After He Left
--------
Charles Cosby discussed his times as a drug partner with Griselda Blanco and his reflection on the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), led by Big Meech. Cosby noted that BMF's size and structure bore similarities to cartels or mafia organizations, an unusual occurrence for African-American syndicates. He praised BMF for their professionalism, organization, and financial success, but the host pointed out their propensity for flamboyance, including conspicuous consumption of luxury cars and frequent appearances in music videos. Cosby conceded that displaying success from illicit activities draws attention, but he suggested that BMF had legitimate business interests as well. He finished by reflecting on his own choices, asserting that his love for his family motivated him to abandon a life of crime. He added that it's not sustainable to make a lifelong career from illegal activities.
