The riveting life story of Tonesa Welch has finally hit the small screen and I can’t wait to watch it.
Tonesa — or just “Toni” — is most known as The First Lady of the one of the biggest drug trafficking organizations, BMF.
With the wildly huge success of 50 Cent’s television series, “BMF” which chronicles the rise of the Black Mafia Family kingpins Terry “Southwest T” & Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory — Welch, who dated Terry before and during his rise to power, felt the series did not accurately depict her life and character. Welch has previously spoken out about how producers of the Starz television series never reached out to get her side of story before using her likeness for the show.
Toni took the snub as disrespect and used her own Hollywood connections to put together her own movie project. Some of the industry’s biggest heavy hitters such as Detroit’s own Judge Greg Mathis & Hollywood actress & producer Vivica Fox signed on to help Toni bring her life to the screen.
50 Cent, who also dated Vivica Fox back in the early 2000s, took to Instagram to voice his opinion on the show before it even hit production.

Check out this interview on Vlad TV in which Toni tells how she met Terry and Meech back in Detroit in the last 80s. At the time Toni, who was older than Terry, allegedly put him own with her drug connects and the rest of the story is her-story.
