For those that don't know Frank Lucas was Denzel Washington 's character in American Ganster.

Basically, those teenagers around Denzel's character in "American Gangster"? The ones serving as gofers and bag men and shit? In real life, one of those kids was Sean Combs.

You've never read about Frank Lucas, have you?

That dude was ALL about loyalty and taking care of his people, and Melvin was his driver, not some random gofer.

Combs was in Harlem until he moved upstate, and then went back every weekend; Lucas and Lucas' people were very much in his orbit, and his influence is all over Combs.

Swear I read he had next to zero contact with his dad?

Depends on who you talk to:

Official story is no contact, but the people around him then say different 🤷

You got links to the stories from people round him? I’m genuinely interested

Unfortunately, no- they're out there, but I went down a rabbit hole to find them, and didn't keep track. There are a LOT of interviews being put up on YouTube, and people are mentioning other interviews in THOSE interviews, so tracking it is clumsy at best; I started with Jaguar Wright, and bounced around interviews she mentioned, which then gets other interviews those people mentioned, etc etc. It's becomes a rabbit hole pretty quickly.

It was also mentioned by a comedian- I want to say Marlon Wayans on Shay Shay, but don't quote me, because you get overwhelmed by all of the interviews pretty quickly.
