First off, wasnt a drive by get your facts right, secondly, dude is the reason he got shot, the ring cam footage is all over twitter, his house got shot up earlier and there was a car parked outside later that night, took it upon himself to go outside and get hostile as hell with the occupants of said vehicle then started clutching the gun he had in his pocket and got shot

"Rapper" is woke speak for useless. I's rhyme words and sheeit, I's be aspirin..🤣🤣

[IamVeryFantastic]

Smh 🤦🏻‍♂️ why did he walk up to the car

[Forsn]

Should have called the Police from inside the house, instead of trying to be a tough guy. He would still be alive

[NomenClature-os]

How come this almost never happens to Country Music stars?

He did a beautiful job wrapping my Christmas gifts last year. I just can't believe this.

I was born in West Philadelphia and also raised there, I spent most of my days playing basketball in the playground, also chillin out and relaxin but then one day a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my living area. I ended up getting into a fight which terrified my mother. As a result she sent me away from West Philadelphia to the most peaceful area of Bel Air.

No one deserves to go down like that, but that boy made a whole bunch of errors that made him get killed that night

The world of art is not the same anymore

[jackwhite]

If they didn't get shot, I'd never heard of them.

[porscheguy]

How about making a list of rappers that have not been killed

[Tuscarora]

So every no talent bum around these days is a Rapper.

Y'all know the narrative but blame the skin. It's not difficult to manipulate cultures when you control what message through music you want put out.

[Bradleehage]

Kind of like the Tupac drive-by shooting

[porscheguy]

I bet you do not see this on CNN and MSNBC.

[rascal]

Very similar to Haiti. Just citizens being citizens where homicide is the norm.
