In Godfather of Harlem season 4 episode 8, "If We Must Die," Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) again runs into a problem with the St. Clair when New York City developer Fred Straub (Ian Lithgow) sues Bumpy for ownership. As the kingpin looks for a way out of this jam that doesn’t cost him everything, he turns to his forced partner, Joe Colombo (Michael Raymond-James). Sadly, Joe's no help, and in the end, it's Joe who actually steals Bumpy’s club away from him, seemingly leaving Bumpy with nothing but debt.
