Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw says their investigation discovered the suspects to be members of a rival gang that apparently has ties with rapper Yungeen Ace — a known rival of Foolio.

Ace released several diss tracks aimed at Foolio since his death … the continuation of a rap music war that’s been festering for years, highlighted by the Gold-certified song “Who I Smoke?” released in 2021.
After Tampa PD made their arrests, Foolio’s mom celebrated for her son with a few posts on IG. She previously warned him about the lifestyle but still is living for his justice.
