The Hardy Boys from Brooklyn, Damion (World) Hardy and Myron (Wise) Hardy, founded the Cash Money Brothers drug gang in the Lafayette Gardens housing complex in the 1990s. The Hardys named their gang after the fictional Cash Money Brothers drug empire depicted in the movie New Jack City (1991).
CMB controlled the Bed-Stuy neighborhood where rap legend Notorious B.I.G. hailed from and many of “Biggie Smalls” Junior Mafia group were CMB affiliated. Biggie went to school with the Hardy brothers. Both Hardys dated rap queen Lil’ Kim, a paramour of Biggie Smalls and the First Lady of Bad Boy Records. World Hardy dated Lil’ Kim in 2002
By the end of the decade, CMB was at war with The Peanuts Gang led by the Hardy Boys bitter rival Ivery (Peanut) Davis.
