P-Nut is a “big homie” in the King Lords. Few people like him. He’s fond of making up words and thinks this habit makes him sound smart, but in private, “li’l homies” like Maverick and King make fun of P-Nut for this. After Dre is murdered and Shawn ends up in prison, P-Nut makes himself the crown of the gang. Though he makes a show of respecting Dre’s desire to not make Maverick deal drugs, he also implies that if Maverick makes a fuss for any reason he’ll be forced to deal again. Most offensive to Maverick is the fact that P-Nut doesn’t seem to care when clues point to Red having killed Dre. King plans to oust P-Nut and become the crown sometime after the novel ends.

But nah. I’m just a li’l kid who can’t live up to his pops’s name.
I’m gon’ prove all them fools wrong one day. Believe that.
