Brian Glaze Gibbs on Having 5 Bodies, Mike Tyson, Prince, Fat Cat, 50 Cent, Supreme

Former Brooklyn drug kingpin and enforcer Brian “Glaze” Gibbs returns to VladTV to discuss his violent past, cooperation with the government, major hip-hop criminal cases, and the transformation that ultimately led him away from the streets. Gibbs reflects on his criminal history during the 1980s, openly discussing his involvement in five murders and being acquitted of a sixth. He breaks down his cooperation with federal authorities and his 5K1 letter, explaining how prosecutors from Brooklyn and Queens attempted to question him about additional unsolved murders. He also reflects on the death of his mother, which became a major turning point that forced him to confront the damage caused by his lifestyle. The conversation shifts to Keefe D’s Tupac murder trial, with Gibbs discussing Keefe D’s decision to reject a 10-to-25-year plea deal at 63 years old. While viewing him as an underdog, Gibbs believes Keefe D could ultimately become the person held responsible for one of hip-hop’s most infamous murders. Vlad and Gibbs also examine several other high-profile cases, including the murder-for-hire case involving Quando Rondo, the latest developments surrounding the murder of Jam Master Jay, and the convictions and pleas involving Ronald Washington, Karl Jordan Jr., and Jay Bryant. They also revisit the notorious kidnapping and murder of Rich Porter’s younger brother, discussing the extreme violence surrounding New York’s drug era. Gibbs concludes by explaining how he escaped the criminal mentality that once controlled his life. Now focused on health, fitness, family, and legitimate business, he discusses his upcoming book and a potential screenplay project involving LL Cool J. His message to younger generations is simple: street money and reputation are temporary, while the consequences can last forever.
