On May 9, 2025, Luce Cannon’s attorneys issued a short, clear statement:
"Our client has not cooperated with the government."
This came after rumors spread online suggesting the Las Vegas rapper was acting as a “snitch” in a federal RICO case known as “Operation Draw Down.” Luce Cannon is one of 19 people indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for alleged gang-related crimes in the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips investigation.
His legal team and Cannon himself have denied any cooperation with prosecutors, and he remains presumed innocent until a court decides otherwise.

The case comes from a federal RICO indictment called Operation Draw Down
In March 2025, a grand jury in Los Angeles unsealed a 43-count indictment against Eugene “Big U” Henley Jr. and 18 others, including Luce Cannon. The charges cover a range of crimes, murder, extortion, robbery, human trafficking, fraud, and robbery tied to an unlicensed marijuana dispensary. Prosecutors say these acts were part of a “mafia-like” enterprise nicknamed the "Big U Enterprise."

Rumors of snitching began after jailhouse phone calls went viral
Shortly after the indictment was unsealed, audio clips of Luce Cannon talking on jail phones were shared online. In one clip on the No Jumper podcast, Cannon said:
"Everything isn’t what it seems. We’re going to get this resolved quickly."
Some listeners thought his words hinted at a plea deal. Comments from music manager Wack 100, who claimed to have seen “snitch” paperwork, added to the talk, but no court documents support those claims.
The legal team pushed back with a firm, two-sentence statement
Rather than answer every rumor in detail, Luce Cannon’s lawyers stuck to their single, direct line denying cooperation. They chose brevity to keep the focus on the legal record, not online gossip. Legal experts say a clear denial helps prevent jurors from believing false claims about side deals before a trial even starts.

Luce Cannon remains in pre-trial custody and is presumed innocent
Luce Cannon has not entered into any plea deal or changed his plea in court. He remains held in custody until his next hearing, expected later in 2025. Under U.S. law, every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty at trial. No evidence has yet been admitted in court showing Cannon cooperated with prosecutors.
Prosecutors will continue to build their case against all defendants in the RICO indictment. If anyone does decide to testify for the government, it must be recorded in official filings, not just rumors.
Luce Cannon’s early denial may bolster his defense by making it harder for the prosecution to argue he gave information. Until then, both sides prepare motions and evidence, and the court will sort out the truth based on formal records rather than social-media chatter.
