Early in the storyline, there were several telltale signs of Big Smoke's disloyalty to the gang: he moved out of [[Grove Street]] to live in a [[Melvin Harris' Home|new home]] in [[Idlewood]] - [[Ballas]] territory - and there is suspicion that he paid for the house with drug money, despite his insistence that it was money from his aunt. In addition, Big Smoke has, on occasion, showed little interest in defending or aiding the gang, as seen in the mission "[[Drive Thru]]" when the rest of the gang was shooting at a Ballas car that had attacked them, Smoke was in the back seat of [[Sean Johnson|Sweet's]] car eating fast food. In "[[Cleaning the Hood]]", he talks with Sweet about their differing stances on street drugs; he appears to be trying to convince Sweet that drug dealing (with the money and power that come along with it) would be good for the Families. Big Smoke would also be seen dragging himself into conflict with other non-native gangs, including the [[Russian Mafia]] and the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. Furthermore, [[Frank Tenpenny]] and his [[C.R.A.S.H.|clique]] show up at Big Smoke's house during the beginning of several missions, suggesting familiarity, although Big Smoke claims each time that they are attempting to extract information from him. Big Smoke claims to have had a cousin, killed by Russians after "the wall came down", however he calls the cousin "Mary", and when they go to pick "her" up big smoke says ''"A big fresh bud right from the plantation"'' and asks some [[Vargo]]s for his "Weedo", it is clear that his cousin is Marijuana. Big Smoke also has a unuiqe sense of humour calling a glass bottle a ''"Little glass Balla fool"'' and shooting it.

His true nature was revealed when he turned his back from the gang, having been seen along with [[Ryder]] collaborating with the Ballas and C.R.A.S.H., and appeared to be linked, along with [[Ryder]], to the killing of [[Carl Johnson|Carl's]] [[Beverly Johnson|mother]]. With the prospect of power, money, and fame in the drug business too great for Big Smoke to resist, he goes on to establish a drug delivery venture with the [[Loco Syndicate]] in [[San Fierro]] with the help of the Ballas, transporting the merchandise and money between [[Los Santos]] and San Fierro, as well as running several drug manufacturing factories in both San Fierro and Los Santos (the former destroyed by Carl during his stay in San Fierro). It is also revealed during certain [[WCTR]] news that he becomes [[OG Loc]]'s manager and that he tries to be a "philanthropic" man by helping the defavorized streets and cleaning them from drugs, which is an obvious bald-faced lie.
