Former Detroit street figure Ladon “Beast” Simon came through to tell his story for the first time to VladTV, including being depicted as “Lamar” on the hit STARZ show “BMF. Ladon started out speaking about growing up in Detroit and witnessing the riots in the late 1960s, which he participated in as a child. Ladon also spoke about getting in the streets at 14 and being successful by the time he was 15, but things started to change in the late 1970s when Ladon was getting serious time. Moving along, Ladon explained how he got the nickname “Beast,” going to prison, rumors about going to a mental institution, his relationship with E.D. Boyd, and his thoughts on Big Meech and Southwest T. To hear more, including Ladon speaking about not being consulted for the BMF series, hit the full interview above.

    Not him "alledgedly"ing his own story LMAO. This might be top 5 best interviews of all time.
  • @draztiktunez7104
    This guy needs a podcast and just tell them old war/hustle stories . The man has been through the trenches and survived both the street and the penal system . I love hearing them o.g.s talk and tell stories .

  • @Unclejamsarmy
    Amazing interview. He has his biases and grudges but his stories are interesting. Vlad is genuinely documenting history that in many cases wouldn’t be otherwise, some of them don’t have other interview but even most of the others aren’t as long with good questions with background knowledge
