Ronnie recounts growing up in San Francisco, entering the drug game at just nine years old, and eventually building a multi-million-dollar empire before facing over 165 arrests. He describes shootouts, prison escapes, exotic pets including a lion that attacked his daughter, and navigating the federal system during the height of the RICO era. The interview takes a dramatic turn as Ronnie details his relationship with the Jackson family. He explains how his group, The Neutrons, signed to Jackson Records under Joe Jackson, and how he built a close personal relationship with Michael Jackson — including visits to the Encino home and federal prison visitation logs. Ronnie also claims he was offered $200,000 to falsely accuse Michael Jackson of misconduct involving his children, an offer he says he refused . Later in the conversation, Ronnie alleges that Fox’s hit show Empire borrowed heavily from his life story and book Beginning to Be, leading him to file a billion-dollar lawsuit against Lee Daniels, Terrence Howard, and Rupert Murdoch. He breaks down the alleged similarities and explains why he believes the story was taken without compensation. This interview blends street history, music industry politics, federal cases, and high-profile celebrity connections into one of VladTV’s most controversial sit-downs.
