*BET+ is set to captivate audiences once again with the return of its gripping original series, “American Gangster: Trap Queens,” premiering the first half of Season 4 this summer. The show, which delves into the high-stakes lives of some of America’s most infamous female criminals, will drop five new episodes, each unraveling the rise, fall, and redemption of women who orchestrated multimillion-dollar criminal enterprises.
Narrated by rapper Da Brat, the series promises raw, unfiltered stories of ambition and betrayal. This season spotlights ten women whose audacious schemes and relentless drive propelled them to the top of the underworld, only to face dramatic downfalls. From drug lords to fraud masterminds, their stories are as diverse as they are intense.
Per the news release, this season, viewers will learn about Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, a feared enforcer in 1980s Baltimore, who built a drug empire that inspired her role on “The Wire,” but loyalty to old allies jeopardized her downfall. Padge Windslowe, known as Black Madam, rose from Philly’s underground to dominate black-market silicone injections, only to be undone by a fatal procedure. Angela “Shay” Wright balanced teaching by day with running a cocaine operation linked to BMF, until a betrayal shattered her empire.
Sharita Mathis turned stolen identities into a Medicaid fraud fortune, but a federal audit brought her scheme crashing down. Celeste Wells, shaped by a traumatic childhood in 1950s Miami, became a master thief, undone by a corrupt cop. Kristell Miles transformed from a college student into Kissimmee’s queenpin after falling for a dealer.
