The Untold Story of Andre Willis – From Business to the Streets (Part 1)

In this powerful interview, Andre Willis shares his incredible journey from being a promising athlete to navigating the harsh realities of the streets in the 1980s. His story is one of resilience, survival, and betrayal, taking viewers through both personal triumphs and devastating losses. At just 9th grade, Andre's life took a major turn when his mother was sentenced to 50 months in prison, leaving him to navigate the world without her. After high school, he enlisted in the National Guard, but it was his entrepreneurial spirit that led him to start a janitorial business with the help of his mom and grandmother. However, in 1988, a tragic car accident caused by his sister led to the loss of his business and eventually left Andre homeless with only $500 to his name.

Despite the hardship, Andre’s path took a sharp turn when his cousin introduced him to flipping money, which led him into the world of drugs. Andre quickly rose through the ranks, starting by selling 1/4 kilo a day and eventually moving as much as 20 keys every two weeks. While many in the game got caught up in the system, Andre managed to avoid any legal trouble. His business empire grew larger than his friend, Julius, could supply, and soon Andre was handling the street side of their operations, while Julius took over the business side. Andre’s ventures weren’t confined to the streets—he also successfully opened clubs like Dominique’s 21, later rebranded as Deion’s 21, and Zazu’ Comedy Club in Buckhead, Georgia, along with The Parrot Jazz Club on Peachtree Street, later renamed The Shark Bar. However, his life took another tragic turn when a lawsuit caused him to lose The Parrot. A new club, Phoenix, was on the verge of opening when Julius, his close friend, was murdered outside of Andre's mother’s driveway, leading to a series of events that would forever change his life.

Soon after Julius’ murder, Andre was picked up by police and entangled in a complicated web of legal issues. At the same time, Fred Tokars, a prosecutor who had secretly been laundering money through Andre’s business ventures, became a key figure in Andre’s downfall. Eventually, Andre found himself set up for the murder of Tokars' wife and children, even as he tried to clean up his operations and go legit. This interview dives deep into Andre’s rise from business success to his involvement in the drug trade, the tragic betrayal of his friend Julius, and the corrupt system that he had to navigate in order to survive.
