"The BMF Documentary" Episodes 5 and 6: "Club Chaos" and "Time to Run"

Members of BMF were heavily influenced by HBO's "The Wire." Both BMF and local Atlanta law enforcement were fans of "The Wire" during the crime drama's run in the early 2000s. Members of BMF were actually inspired by some of the characters on the show, who mimicked their drug dealings and operation to the point that they allegedly critiqued their own strategies based on what was shown in the series. However, one mistake they made was underestimating the power of the Atlanta Police Department. They thought the department was "too country" to utilize the wiretaps featured on the show. But the APD did, however, have their own wiretaps on BMF — many of which allegedly caught Terry discussing drug business in detail.
The feud between Big Meech and Terry started after the Club Chaos shooting. Big Meech's arrest for the double homicide shooting that took place at Club Chaos in Atlanta infuriated Terry because he thought his brother was bringing unnecessary attention from law enforcement to BMF. Fed up with Big Meech's flamboyant ways, Terry started making independent decisions about their business — including allegedly cutting into the organization's drug product to make more — which eventually drove a wedge between the two siblings.
Terry's 34th birthday marked the end of the Flenory brothers' partnership. The feud between Big Meech and Terry came to a head at the latter's birthday party, where the two allegedly got into a violent altercation. "From that point forward, Terry and Demetrius were no longer doing business together, no longer spoke to each other, and would only communicate through intermediaries," Burnstein explains in the documentary.
