Godfather of Harlem season 4 is officially underway. Following an explosive Godfather of Harlem season 3 finale, things pick up with the murder trial of Malcolm X. Omar (Maurice Jones), in particular, worries about being railroaded in the trial and convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Thankfully, he has Elise (Antoinette Crowe-Legacy) fighting in his corner.

Elsewhere, Bumpy (Forest Whitaker) is determined to walk the straight and narrow to honor Malcolm X’s legacy and protect his community. He’s given up his drug business, which has been music to Vincent Gigante’s (Vincent D'Onofrio) ears. The two men are on friendly terms, with Bumpy agreeing not to sell drugs and Vincent promising not to deal heroin in Bumpy’s territory.

Unfortunately for Bumpy, his commitment to legitimacy isn’t smooth sailing. No longer a drug kingpin, he’s not generating the revenue he once was and is finding it hard to raise the capital to pay for his dreams of building out Harlem. This leads to him leaning on his wife for advice, who needs a favor from Adam Clayton Powell (Giancarlo Esposito). But the congressman has his own problems.

Here’s what we found out as we looked into what was fact and fiction from Godfather of Harlem season 4 episode 1.
