For years, Jimmy Henchman's name rang loudly in hip-hop circles. Recently, he was the manager of notable rappers and artists like Game, Gucci Mane, Brandy, Sean Kingston, Sheek Louch and Akon.

But before that, the Haitian-native was a notorious street guy from New York City, who reached infamy after Tupac rapped that he was going to "payback, Jimmy Henchman," because Pac felt like he was one of the people who set him up and shot him back at Quads studio in 1994.
