Cardi B's Best Friend, Alleged 'Godmother' Of Violent Street Gang, Pleads With Judge To Remove Curfew

Star Brim, whose real name is Yonette Respass, faced charges under the RICO Act along with 17 other gang members, highlighting her deep involvement with the gang’s illegal operations.

Star Brim’s affiliation with Cardi B and the 5-9 Brims Blood gang has been well-documented. Prosecutors accused her of being the “Godmother” in the gang and highlighted her role in orchestrating various criminal activities, including fraud and assault.

The gang, notorious for its widespread influence and violent acts, has been a significant focus of law enforcement agencies aiming to curb gang-related crimes in New York.

The sentencing, handed down by Judge George B. Daniels, also includes stipulations aimed at preventing Brim from reverting to her gang-related past.

Upon her release, Star Brim will be under strict orders not to associate with the Bloods or any of its factions, including on the internet, and to avoid areas known for Bloods gang activity.

The conditions of her release further mandate her participation in an outpatient mental health treatment program and compliance with periodic drug testing.

In addition to her prison sentence and supervised release terms, Star Brim is required to pay a special assessment of $100 immediately.

Judge Daniels recommended that Brim serve her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, with her surrender to the institution designated by the Bureau of Prisons scheduled before 2 p.m. on July 1, 2024.

Kim Kardashian seen for the first time with Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori at Vultures listening party
The pair were stood next to each other at the event for West’s latest album on Tuesday.

Censori was seen filming the show on her phone, with Kardashian and three of her children – Chicago, Psalm and Saint – beside her.

Kardashian was married to West between 2014 and 2022, with them sharing four children. He went on to marry 29-year-old Censori.

Fans shared their shock at seeing the two women together online.

One person tweeted: “I didn’t expect that.”

Another person added: “That’s actually pretty cool that they can get along.”

A third person said: “Idk but this is crazy.”

The pair are said to have an amicable relationship with each other, but Kardashian is believed to be against Censori’s ‘explicit’ fashion choices.

“Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.”

It comes after West defended his wife’s outfit choices on Instagram, saying: “Ima post my wife as much as I want bro.”

He added: “It makes me happy. Some people don’t want you to be happy. They want you to make them happy. I decided to make myself happy and I’m happy with that.”
