“talks about it”
This is a street slang expression and refers to those people who dear to talk about something. I can relate it to a “snitch”. So, whoever “talks” will see consequences

: Not really, Nayrim. This means *I will put into prison/imprison/behind bars whoever I please/like/want to*. A typo in your text – the verb is *to dare to talk about something*.
