Take a look at this, JJ Da Boss BREAKS Silence on the 5 Street Outlaws He Hated the Most!
JJ Da Boss, the legendary Memphis street racer, is known for his raw authenticity, bold leadership, and ride-or-die loyalty. But behind the horsepower and TV fame lies a history of heated rivalries, broken friendships, and explosive confrontations. In this article, we break down the five people JJ Da Boss openly disliked on Street Outlaws—revealing shocking truths and reasons behind each fallout.
1. Chris “Block” Gordon – From Respect to Rivals
JJ and Block Gordon once shared mutual respect, but things took a sharp turn. During a Street Outlaws event in Wyoming, tensions erupted when Block questioned the legality of JJ’s car. In true JJ fashion, he confronted the issue head-on—literally punching Block, creating a feud that still simmers today.
JJ’s Reason: “He tried to embarrass me in front of my people… you come at me like that, I’ll stand my ground.”
This feud highlighted the clash between old-school street racers and rulebook racers, something JJ has always stood firmly against.
2. Chad & Jenny Larkin – Lawsuit, Mind Games & Betrayal
Once close allies, Chad and Jenny Larkin became public enemies after a physical altercation during a 2017 race in North Carolina. The couple later filed a lawsuit against JJ, accusing him of inciting violence.
JJ’s Take: “They played mind games. I let them in my circle, and they turned on me.”
He claimed that fame changed the Larkins and that their lawsuit was a betrayal of everything they once stood for in the street racing world.
3. Axeman (Larry Roach) – Trust Broken by Favoritism
Axeman was a respected driver, but things soured when he accused JJ of favoritism on America’s List—specifically favoring Precious Cooper and Tricia Day.
JJ Responds: “I don’t play politics… I protect my family.”
While Axeman felt JJ wasn’t running a fair show, JJ saw it as protecting his own—revealing the line between leadership and loyalty.
4. The Original Memphis Crew – Loyalty Tested
Surprisingly, JJ’s relationship with some of his original Memphis Outlaws crumbled when newer family members like Precious and Tricia took the spotlight. Old friends reportedly felt pushed aside, accusing JJ of losing his roots.
JJ’s Defense: “Blood is thicker than burnout… I ride with who rides for me.”
While he honored his past, JJ made it clear: loyalty is earned, not owed.
5. The 405 Crew (Big Chief & Co.) – Different Worlds, Different Rules
JJ Da Boss has always stood by the gritty, real-deal “no chase = race” street rules, while the 405 crew represents a more structured approach to racing. The two camps clashed often—both in philosophy and in public.
JJ’s Words: “They don’t race how we race. That’s their problem, not mine.”
This ideological rift caused continuous tension on and off the track, highlighting how Street Outlaws is as much about culture wars as it is about cars.
Bonus Drama: JJ’s Crash and Ban from Darlington Dragway
In 2022, JJ and wife Tricia suffered a serious crash while filming America’s List. Then in 2023, JJ performed a stunt at Darlington Dragway that led to him being banned by the World Drag Racing Alliance.
These events only fueled his rebel image—but also distanced him from the more “sanitized” parts of the racing community.
Final Thoughts: Why JJ Da Boss Still Rules the Streets
JJ Da Boss is nothing if not authentic. Whether you love him or hate him, you can’t deny his impact on Street Outlaws and the underground racing scene. He’s made enemies, lost friends, and taken hits—but always stayed true to the code: family, loyalty, and real street racing.
