Jimmy Henchmen Arrested By Drug Enforcement Agents in Manhattan
Posted by Miss Info under about miss info , crime , not good for hip hop , not good for humanity , quotes[21] Comments
Every part of this long and complicated saga defies comprehension. Since the news broke last week of prison-lifer Dexter Isaac and his Tupac robbery “confession”, I’ve been hearing from OG insiders (both on the media side and the street side) about the infamous social circles that Tupac ran in back in the mid-90’s here in New York City.
Today, one of the most controversial figures in that web, Jimmy Henchman was caught by Feds….but in the oddest way.
Henchmen has been on the run since Drug Enforcement Agents issued a warrant for his arrest in May…in court papers, they accused him of “being the leader of [a drug ring] that distributed hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and generated millions of dollars in sales.” At first it seemed that he was going to turn himself in, but then he disappeared…
Only to be found at the W Hotel right by Union Square in Manhattan? *scratches head*
What kind of low-key hiding place is that?
More details
after the jump…
According to NBC News, Feds were tipped off that Henchman was hiding out at the W Hotel in Union Square…They found him there and chased him up Park Avenue. When they caught him, Henchman “was carrying a fake I.D. and a passport application in a fake name, sources said….Authorities believed Rosemond, who lived in Brooklyn until he went on the run in recent months, was planning to leave Thursday for the Bahamas.”
Why did he wait 2 months to get out of dodge? And if you have to stay a while….why pick the part of dodge where you’re bound to get caught?!
Union Square, near Park Avenue and 17th Street is always packed, and there’s lots of music industry types at the W, or Dos Caminos, or the nearby Gramercy Hotel. In fact, it’s just blocks from tonite’s Big Sean concert, and right by the popular new Gansevoort Hotel, and teeming with teens and farmers market shoppers. Bottom line….if I go to Union Square on any given day, I’m probably going to bump into someone I know. And Henchmen would too because his Czar offices were just a few blocks west in the Flatiron district.
So bizarre.

Fucking clown! And no I wouldnt say that to his face because his bitch ass would probably try to get me killed… Neno Brown wannabe!

what’s s dignified gangster?, do u know what the word dignified means? And he’s not a neno brown wanna be, the big difference between neno brown and jimmy henchmen rosemond is he isn’t a movie character, real life!

I dont think fif had anything to do with him going under, but I do think if your in fif’s area your profile is raised. After watching that Hip hop Cop Doc on showtime with the notorious book of Rappers, I just think eventually stuff comes up.

Why you hiding in on of the busiest parts of the city… wtf is wrong with him? anyways… he was bound to get caught.
to tell y’all the truth… i’m glad… we need to rid the industry of the ‘gangster’ element. he’s the last of the mohicans so maybe we can get back to business. tomorrow is a new day.

Someone else will replace him. You still need these kind of characters because they keep order. Believe it or not. Muscle is always needed. Every record comapany needs GANGSTERS to keep people in line. And GANGSTERS come in all colors/races. Just cause many are wearing suits doesn’t mean they aint shooters or have shooters on deck.

“rid the industry of the gangster element?” how about we rid the industry of the homo element and stop pushing THEIR gay agenda. The industry needs people like Jimmy, hes a good guy, a real dude, a class act. I wish him the best and all of those, who have been wrongfully accused along with him.

Jimmy doing decades after this stunt, did he do it? Eh don’t know, don’t really care, but my guess is he really believes his press clippings to chill in the W. (thinkuaboss)

lmfao at the thought of 50 tipping off the dea. that seems like something he would do, too. so…does this mean justice for tupac…and possibly biggie, since both murders are obviously intertwined? personally, i doubt it. the whole “______ back” meme is popular right now. in tupac and biggie’s cases, its been popular since their death. it leads me to believe that going on 15 yrs later, many people still haven’t accepted that they are gone. even if jimmy confesses to having both of them killed, it doesn’t fill the void left by their absence. the only thing i’d imagine it does is give their loved ones some closure…i wonder if they wouldn’t have surfaced by now if their deaths were truly faked. i mean, no one can seem to get rid of these rappers anyway, even the ones that many people want to go away. they never seem to actually retire…with the advent of blogs like this one, only death, it seems, will rid us of them…outside of that, only a ban of the nmc v lupe nature will keep them off our radar unless we stop checking hip-hop blogs altogether…
