- Erika “Reika” Carter was Harlem drug kingpin Kevin Chiles’ partner during his rise and fall.
- Reika had a tough upbringing: mother murdered at 2, kicked out of aunt’s house for getting pregnant at 14.
- KC’s parents took in Reika and her son as their own and she helped Chiles build his empire.
- Her life of luxurious cars, clothes and homes abruptly stopped when Chiles was arrested in 1994 (feds seized everything).
- Although no longer together, Chiles (released after 10 years) and Reika remain close.
