Baby Blue can’t seem to get out of his troubles lately. The Pretty Ricky member has been recently sentenced to imprisonment for 20 months on conspiracy to commit wire fraud charges. Now his fans are accusing him of snitching on the recent allegations.

Blue, born Diamond Blue Smith, is accused of falsifying legal documents and giving inaccurate information in order to secure more than $20 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans. He’s also been ordered to pay $2 million in forfeiture and restitution.

It was eventually found that the loans were being used up in frivolous luxuries instead of any business ventures. The money was spent on a new Ferrari and gambling at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in South Florida. Reportedly Blue paid $250,000 to facilitate the paperwork.

Blue came out on Twitter to shush the people who were trying to make a point, saying he was a snitch. He made several comments shooting back at some of his critics and specifically making sure his fans knew that he would never be an informant.

“N***as want me to be a snitch cuz they got snitching in they blood!” he wrote on his Instagram story. “I’m cut different over here! Ain’t no rats in my family! I could never be a snitch! My ancestors wouldn’t like that! Whole time, 2 n***as in my case turned informant and telling everything they can!”

The government means business when it comes to the Paycheck Protection Program. This scheme involved the preparation of at least 90 fraudulent applications, most of which were submitted. It is good to see such severe cases of fraud are kept on check and the people involved in it are being punished with justifiable means.
