Sound like a contract murder to me. Thats the life some of them live.. I always hate to see one of my brothers go like this. But thats life.


Negrozilla

20 times!? ***, what did he do? Steal a truck load of yayo from the Columbians? RIP.


wackacrakkka

Maybe if we had more doctors, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, teachers, CEO's and scientists coming out of the hood this young man would still be alive!

Too many *** rappers! Be like me and teach your sons that everyone can't be a rapper or pro sports player!


luvlyfegr8

@ The Hater " rapped on a record about killing other niccas" You do have a point! I hate RAP PERIOD!


RealPeeps

MTO where did you get 20 times? In all the news I dont recall anyone reporting the number of times but that he was *** multiple times. That area is pretty safe, its an area where more affluent people reside, and the reports did not say anything about robbery, which would leave you to think he probably knew the person/s or was connected to the perpetrators some type of way, anyway RIP.


Enkredible

BUT EVERYONE SAYS DON''T SNITCH. PEOPLE LIKE THIS GET AWAY FREE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR STREET CRED.. LOL AND SMH...


jzzybee

BLACK MEN ARE SUCH JEAOLUS HATERS TO THE POINT WHERE IT COMES EASY FOR THEM TO JUST KILL EACH OTHER OFF......DISGUSTED, ONCE AGAIN!


gapeachy25

He was not *** 20 times you need better info and it's sad when ppl are killing each other for unnecessary reason


MS SERENITY

Whoever did it, wanted him dead for sure. Probably somebody he knew or wronged in some kind of way......20 times ??? Not a random ***.....


DallasDyamond

Lil Phat was a rapper out of Baton Rouge Louisiana and he was always talked about as a childhood role model R.i.p Lil Phat.. From 318 to 504 to 225, I know my neighborhood gone play his music like they did when our local young joys died 👼👼


SashaBanks

tellinghistruth

Everybody coming to atl to do they dirt! Take y'all. *** back from where you came from!!!!


U Could Possibly Never

SMH @ the ignorance some people have the nerve to post. I never really listened to his music but my little brother did. I recently just viewed some of his videos and he didnt seem like a "gang banger" or "hoodlum" plus he was only 19years old. This is so sad and I really hope people stop the violence. And MTO you dead *** wrong for saying dude got *** 20 times, i could have sworn I read on a more credible site that he was *** around 4 or 5 times. Stop exaggerating!


IriAstarte

if he makes music anything like Lil webbie then they *** the wrong person LOL. They want to *** someone they need to off off wacka gucci and boosay lol. Do the world a favor please.


BossBitch225

That hit came straight from Baton Rouge. Real ***. It's wicked out here all day. Do your homework.

@br225finest


zone3hotboi

@TheProverbH8er... you're very disrespectful to the dead. The man has already paid the ultimate price so let him be w/o passing judgement. How you know what he raps about but you dont even know who he is??? Atleast he was trying to do something better for his self then standing on a street corner or sticking up people. Everybody is not going to be a lawyer, doctor, or the president; atleast that man was trying to do something positive for himself. Even if he was rapping about drugs and people getting killed; thats the reality of the world we live in. Life aint all sweet. But I guess since you're Mr. Perfect in your world that never had to struggle for anything then you wouldn't understand. ***.iggaz quick to down rappers who chasin a better life for themselves but they'll worship one of these crooked a.ss politicians who dont give a f.uck about nothin but getting money. So at the end of day wats the difference???
