Ever since the BMF TV show started many fans have been wondering layton simon where is he now? Fortunately, the real-life character is still alive and well. He no longer deals drugs and instead spends his time promoting youth development and social change. He also has a clothing line and uses the profits to support these causes.

During an interview with The Original Gangsters Podcast, Simon discussed his early years and his interests. He spoke fondly of playing baseball in Detroit and recalled how, in the 1970s, on his way to a game, he met a man by the name of Dirty Diamond. The man was wearing a 20-carat ring, which prompted Simon to inquire about it. He learned that the man was Harold Stinson, who ran a sizable drug-dealing network. This enticed the teenager to get into the business himself. He began dealing at the age of 14 and by 15, had enough money to purchase a brand-new 1973 Cadillac.

However, police moved into his apartment complex, and he decided to leave the streets. This allowed the Flenory brothers, Big Meech and Southwest T, to take control of the neighborhood. Despite his decision to quit the business, Layton claims that he still carries a shotgun with him and won’t let anyone break into his home without permission. He also stated that he would shoot anyone who tries to take his mom’s $80,000 and drugs. This may explain why he hasn’t had much luck with his romances.
