Graham Administration

**The Graham Administration** was the second and most successful administration in the history of Young Rich Nation, reigning from February 17 - June 27, 2021.

Headed by Tha Ghost, real name Connor Graham, he and his little brothers Brad (Mr. Bullet), Dennis (Madd Nightmare) and Ricky (Madd Midnight) ran the Young Rich Nation alongside Dwight Connors (Papa Brix) and Morgan Fox (Lil Storms).

The administration would collapse rapidly after the Owen Hinton Scandal in May, and would be completely dissolved by Ricky Graham's suicide and the overthrowing of Connor Graham, with Dennis Graham leaving to run rival label PTO and enact a truce with YRN, now lead by Papa Brix during the Brix Administration, the final reign of YRN before its collapse in January 2022.

## History

### Background (November 2020 - January 2021)

Connor Graham was well known as a rival of YRN, his historic feud with the late Young Vibez (childhood friend turned frenemy) who was the co-leader and one of the five founders of the label. Connor would start his own band, the Graham Triangle, to compete throughout 2020, before Vibez' untimely death on November 10, 2020. He would reach out to now sole leader Young Squadz about joining the YRN, in order to make amends for the past.

Connor, mourning his old friend, brought along his three brothers, Brad, Dennis and now Ricky, the last of whom was excluded from the band, in order to make a future in the label their late friend once helped run. The four would periodically make appearances during YRN activities for three months, though activities in larger events were halted due to the COVID-19 restrictions at the time.

It was only during later January, things would begin to heat up.

### YRN Leadership Campaign (January 10 - 20, 2021)

Young Squadz and Juvie Kidd were the only two remaining co-founders of YRN with Vibez' death in November, and the only two admins left altogether, as Lil Foxy had been killed alongside Vibez, and Lil Drxp was arrested in (false) connection to their murder at the end of November. Young Squadz had wanted to retire, due to the severe depression spike the murders of his two close friends, and arrest of his childhood friend had brought him, and planned to leave Juvie Kidd in charge of YRN as the new leader.

Initially, this went unchallenged, until Juvie began to unhinge into drama because of his failing mental state (Vibez was his only sibling, and his mentor) and would begin exhibiting erratic, questionable behavior that would eventually lead to Connor Graham offering to step up and show interest in leading YRN. Because of Juvie's role as a co-founder and the only other admin, his behavior could not immediately disqualify him as leader candidate based on Squadz and Vibez' fair-game ethics.

This would settle into a vote, in which Juvie lost a majority of his approval ratings throughout the ten day period based on his accusations and threats to have every member of YRN who voted for Ghost to be terminated from the label, and this move would lead to Ghost easily winning the election near-flawlessly.

Despite winning, they wouldn't take office until February 17, 2021 when Squadz officially retired as leader and took co-ownership of the label alongside Lil Frosty, both of whom endorsed the Graham Brothers.

### First Administration Acts

The first acts Ghost would enact were to also promote OG member YRN Brix into the administration, and approved of Morgan Fox's request to become an admin, a way to pay tribute to her little sister, Lil Foxy, who was victim of the November 10, 2020 shooting.

On March 15, 2021, Lil Drxp was released from jail after charges in the November 10 shooting involving him were dropped based on lack of evidence or witnesses. Despite being innocent and a well-respected admin prior to the shooting, Ghost and the 5 admins came to a unanimous verdict to refuse overturning his termination from the label, based on the negative approval the YRN had for Drxp, due to his controversies and not necessarily being found "not-guilty". This controversial move meant the first of many problems for the administration.

On orders from Ghost, the YRN would seize their financial support for PTO and their partnership was cut, after a pregnant lady was beaten into a miscarriage by PTO members for wearing a BLM hat. This would soon erupt into a war, in which PTO and YRN would clash numerous times, before their leader at the time, PTOcooch was paralyzed from a baseball bat attack.

Although things were initially rocky, the Graham Administration would pull the YRN out of its massive decline, restore it and make it into an extremely profitable, beneficial asset and was beginning to collect great PR due to the extreme friendliness of the administration, along with the roster itself due to the new generation of YRN being more carefully selected and having a tryout phase instead of its previous open-door policy.

One of the other acts made, was to allow people from outside North Carolina to join the label. This would lead to both YRN Bombz (Owen Hinton) and YRN Bleak (Laven Wise) joining the label.

### Death of Brad Graham 'Mr. Bullet' (March 17, 2021)

On March 10, 2021, Brad Graham would suffer a severe motorcycle crash, which also injured a rider. Brad would have a leg amputated and the other broken, leading to him operating YRN as an admin from a wheelchair, also continuing volunteer work at the Allied Churches with Young Squadz, a project the duo had been doing as part of YRN's charitable responsibilities.

Although he appeared to be recovering, and still operated at a normal pace, he died in his sleep in the early morning of March 17, 2021, and this demise had heavily shook the Graham Administration. along with the entire label, who were devastated by the passing of a beloved admin, best-friend and brother.

His death provided a serious setback for the administration and YRN, although their operations did not stop and everyone continued to see the YRN vision come into fruition, albeit in tribute to Brad.

### YRN/PTO War (April - June 2021)

Although previously mentioned, the war between YRN and PTO was mostly at a stance of hostile competition, rather than a sought out retribution. After former member YRN Bleak, real name Laven Wise would betray the label on April 15, 2021, he'd go to warn new PTO leader PTOaryan, falsely claiming Ghost and multiple YRN were planning to kidnap and ransom/kill him.

This move would
