Fabolous called a radio DJ collect as a senior in high school and got signed before he hung up the phone. By 2003 he was one of the most gifted lyricists in New York rap history — and by 2018 he was on surveillance camera outside his Englewood home with a pair of scissors, facing twenty years in federal charges. He walked out of court with no jail time. Emily Bustamante stayed. Now he is on a podcast trading bars with 50 Cent. This is the full story of the gap between the crown and the man who never quite picked it up.
