A violent crew of Brooklyn gangsters has plotted for six years to kill prominent drill rapper Envy Caine, an indictment charged Tuesday.
Five members of the Bamalife Gang in East New York allegedly plotted since 2016 to murder the “Target Practice” rapper who calls himself “New York City’s bad guy.” The indictment filed in Brooklyn Federal Court identified Caine only as “John Doe 1,” but included descriptions of music videos about him, leaving no doubt which rapper was in the crosshairs.
The beef began on Nov. 23, 2016, when Caine’s girlfriend was injured in a shooting, prosecutors said. Caine and his crew, who were part of the rival “Weez Gang,” were convinced that Bamalife was behind the attempted hit, the feds said.

Caine’s hunch was not without reason. Two days prior to the shooting, Bamalife member Andrew “Drewski” Simpson, 24, posted a video on Facebook threatening to kill Caine’s girlfriend, according to the indictment.
On the same day Caine’s girlfriend was shot, Bamalife member Ronnie Warren, 25, was shot in the foot, prosecutors say. He allegedly told his fellow gang members that Caine, whose real name is Nuival Vasquez, was responsible.
Simpson, Trava “Stoney” Selby, Darius “Blizz Meecho” Sutton and Corey “Moncler Mellz” Williams — all charged in the indictment — borrowed a car and drove around looking for Caine, according to prosecutors.
