Renowned Jamaican dancehall performer Flippa Moggela, legally named Andrew Kendrick Davis, has found himself back in the crosshairs of United States federal law enforcement, just four years after securing an early release from prison on prior drug trafficking convictions. The self-proclaimed ‘Flossing King’, who also performs under the stage name Flippa Mafia, is one of four defendants named in a newly unsealed federal drug conspiracy indictment filed out of New Jersey. His co-accused in the case are Damion Jones, Clifford Brown, and James McBride.
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey outline that the four men are alleged to have coordinated a large-scale drug trafficking conspiracy between August 2025 and May 2026. The scheme, court documents claim, centered on the conspiracy to possess and distribute multiple quantities of controlled substances: no less than 500 grams of methamphetamine, at least 400 grams of fentanyl, and a minimum of five kilograms of cocaine.
As part of the ongoing multi-agency investigation into the alleged ring, a federal judge granted a warrant authorizing law enforcement to intercept communications from two mobile phones directly linked to Davis. Official criminal complaints filed as part of the case include what investigators describe as damning recorded discussions between Davis, one of his co-defendants, and an unidentified female that allegedly tie the artist to the conspiracy.
Court records detail a key investigative milestone on May 9, 2026, when surveilling officers watched a U.S. Postal Service employee deliver a package shipped from California five days prior to a pre-identified target address under active surveillance. A subsequent court-authorized search of the property led to the apprehension of one of Davis’ co-defendants, and investigators seized 10 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and two kilograms of suspected cocaine from the location.
Follow-up search and arrest operations across multiple locations resulted in the detention of all three remaining co-defendants, with additional physical evidence linked to the alleged conspiracy seized during the raids. Davis made his initial court appearance this week before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ann Marie Donio, when the previously sealed charges against him were officially made public.
As of press time, Davis remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, ahead of a scheduled bail hearing set for May 14 at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. This latest arrest marks a dramatic turn in Davis’ recent story: he was first convicted in 2016 as part of the high-profile Operation Next Day Air, a major federal takedown of a large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering network that counted Davis as a key target. Though he was handed a 25-year prison sentence for that conviction, he was granted early release on parole in 2022. Following his release, Davis returned to his music career, releasing a string of new tracks including *Inna Mi Zone* and *Own Don* in 2025, before his latest detention.
