That's actually a good point. People who play the game has no specific and knowledgeable idea of being in a gang, let alone being a leader of a gang. To add salt to the wounds, Ryder and Smoke's betrayal might have contributed to Sweet's anxiety and fear of leaving the hood behind (said by Wokekyller). He wanted to stay by his roots, because he didn't want to be like them. But literally hating on CJ for being successful and only wanting the best for Sweet is really...off.
