Future’s Brother Arrested in Federal Drug Raid

Federal authorities carried out a major drug raid in suburban Georgia that ended with the arrest of the brother of rapper Future, shaking both the local community and the hip-hop world.

According to investigators, agents from the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration targeted a short-term rental home in Forest Park after receiving intelligence that the location was being used as a distribution point for large quantities of fentanyl. When agents moved in, they discovered what they described as a “high-level narcotics operation,” complete with packaging tools, a money counter, and stacks of cash.

Inside the residence, officers detained Rico Deville Buice — widely known in the music world as FBG Casino, and recognized as Future’s brother. Authorities say they seized roughly 21 kilograms of fentanyl during the operation, along with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. A handgun was also recovered during the raid.

Federal prosecutors quickly filed charges, accusing Buice of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, one of the most severe offenses under federal drug law. Because of the amount seized and the nature of the investigation, prosecutors requested that he be held without bond, calling him both a flight risk and a danger to the community. A conviction on the listed charges could carry a sentence ranging from ten years to life in federal prison.

The news sent ripples through Atlanta’s music community, where FBG Casino has long been known as both a rapper and a close associate of his superstar brother. While Future himself is not connected to the case, the arrest has drawn public attention due to the family relationship and the size of the federal operation.

Neighbors in the Forest Park area described waking up to lights, sirens, and a heavy law-enforcement presence as agents executed the early-morning raid. Some residents said they were stunned that such a large-scale drug bust had taken place in a quiet neighborhood that typically sees little police activity.

Federal authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing and that the arrest is part of a larger effort to disrupt fentanyl trafficking networks across the region. More arrests could follow as agents work to trace the source of the drugs and the full extent of the operation.

For now, Rico “FBG Casino” Buice remains in federal custody as he awaits his next court hearing. The case has quickly become one of the most talked-about stories in Atlanta, drawing attention not only because of the seriousness of the charges, but also due to the high-profile connection to one of the biggest names in modern hip-hop.
