Mr. Untouchable

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorWho am I? Leroy 'Nicky' Barnes, an ex-junkie street hustler who worked his way up from average Harlem drug pusher to the Godfather of a multimillion-dollar drug empire. I was Superfly before Ron O'Neal, the Pusherman before Mayfield's hit, and wrote the book on New Jack City before Wesley Snipes attended junior high. I'm not an actor, not a best-selling novel or Hollywood hit, and definitely not a figment of some gangsta rap imagination. In the 1970s, I was the real cold-blooded deal, flooding the streets of Harlem with heroin, creating the entire economy of upper Manhattan, high-tailing through the five boroughs in my custom Citroen-Maseratis, dodging and ducking from the law, beating the rap, and still having time to hand out turkeys to the poor for Thanksgiving. In my day, an NYC detective once told Time magazine that the ghetto kids thought I was "the greatest thing since Muhammed Ali." I am what fiction is based on, and what you may have heard is all true, and if it ain't, its because the truth was way more hardcore. Between 1973-1977 I had been arrested for homicide, bribery, drug dealing and possession of dangerous weapons. None stuck, and by June of 1977, Mr. Fred Ferretti of the New York Times Magazine had no choice but to write a front cover piece declaring, "This is Nicky Barnes. The police say he is Harlem's biggest drug dealer, but can they prove it?" It took President Jimmy Carter, the US Attorney General, and America's first anonymous jury to finally put me away. For five years in jail, I was still running my $2 million a week gig, until word got back to me: my most trusted lieutenants were not only shorting me on deals, sleeping with my wife, sleeping with my girlfriend, but snorting coke and having too much fun before the eyes of my little girls. That's when I changed from Nicky Barnes, biggest drug dealer in America, to Nicky Barnes, biggest DEA informant ever... Today, I have no face, no voice, no residency, and no identity. I am a free man, but others might call me something else: a street legend, a snitch, an enterprising genuis, a dead man, "the John Gotti of his time." To many I am unkown. In 2007, a biography and a documentary on my life will be released. There, you can decide for yourself who I really am. Personally, I stick with my main title, "Mr. Untouchable."
