Chris Brown & Lil Wayne – Implicated In “Sizzurp” Drug Operation

Superstars Chris Brown and Lil Wayne are both being implicated in a massive pharmaceutical drug operation in Miami.  A full-blown investigation is now underway; multiple individuals have been arrested.

Both Chris Brown and Lil Wayne are potentially tied into a complicated pharmaceutical drug operation, according to arrest details now surfacing.  The dirty connection involves Miami music producer Harrison Garcia, aka ‘Cuban Harry,’ known to hang out with both Brown and Lil Wayne.  The end product of the operation has largely been ‘sizzurp’ and other ‘purple drank’ variations, a staple in the rap scene.

Cuban Harry has now been arrested and detained in Miami on multiple felony charges.  Those charges include racketeering, grand theft and trafficking in illegal drugs.

Garcia faces multiple felonies tied to a string of robberies involving local pharmacies, according to arrest warrants and court documents.  More than a dozen robberies involving pharmacies like Walgreens in the Miami area have been identified.  In all of those break-ins, Garcia is being charged with orchestrating the heists, then using the stolen prescriptions to concoct and distribute opioid-powered cocktails.

The operation is all about taking legal prescriptions of drugs like codeine and pushing them into the black market.  That black market results in heroine-like punches reportedly enjoyed by superstars like Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and even Justin Bieber.  “Garcia has organized, facilitated, finances and directed co-conspirators to commit burglaries… in order to obtain stolen narcotics for re-sale,” Sgt. Shane Schroeder of the Broward Sheriff’s Office explained.

Lean, sizzurp, purple stuff…

The lethal cocktails, known as ‘lean’ or ‘sizzurp’ on the street (among other nicknames), were sold by Garcia via Instagram DMs.  Other distribution methods are likely, including in-person sales.  The codeine-powered drinks, sometimes called ‘liquid heroine’ or ‘drank,’ can be lethal and produce seizures, overdoses, or other complications.

The painkilling cocktails, obviously not prescribed, are illegal to sell and consume.  But they’ve become a big part of hip hop culture, going back years.

Garcia ultimately sold some codeine-laced ‘syrup’ to an undercover agent, resulting in a raid and arrest.  The arrest, which appears to have occurred earlier this week, happened while Garcia was on probation.

Online, Cuban Harry flaunted large amounts of wealth.  That includes large stacks of one-hundred dollar bills, plus exotic cars and luxury items.  Garcia was also found cavorting with Chris Brown while on tour in Albania, and even appeared in a Lil Wayne video.  Just recently, Cuban Harry appeared in the track, ‘Cut It Baby (Freestyle),’ as performed by Lil Wayne-affiliated rapper, HoodyBaby.

Those associations could create some sticky situations.  For starters, Lil Wayne has suffered a number of recent seizures after abusing the codeine-laced drinks.  Brown may have also been getting high off of Cuban’s supply, given their close proximity.

At this point, neither Brown nor Wayne have been detained, contacted, or charged with anything at this point.  At minimum, however, they are both likely to be detained for questioning by federal and local Miami investigators.
