CHICAGO — An aspiring Chicago rapper who posted a video on YouTube of himself throwing thousands of dollars that he inherited from his mother to his “fans” has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for her 2012 murder-for-hire killing.
Qaw’mane Wilson, 30, was sentenced Friday by a Cook County judge who also sentenced the convicted gunman, Eugene Spencer, to 100 years, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

“The word is ‘matricide,’ meaning murder of one’s own mother,” Cook County Judge Stanley Sacks said Friday, as he stared from the bench at Wilson and Spencer. “Whatever he wanted, his mother gave to him. A car. A job. One could say he was spoiled. She gave Qaw’mane life, and it was his choice to take it away from her.”
Records showed that Wilson withdrew nearly $70,000 from his mother’s accounts in the months after her death and spent the money on flashy clothes and to customize the Mustang she had given him to have gull-wing doors added to the vehicle.
Wilson also posted on YouTube a video of himself withdrawing thousands of dollars in cash from a bank and throwing those bills to a crowd of people that he said in the video were “fans” of his rap music. That video was played for the jury that convicted Wilson, who went by the name “Young QC.”

I didn’t know there were Amish rappers out there.
Never aspire to be a rapper.
Why are these perps ever “aspiring electrical engineers” or “aspiring high school algebra teachers?”
Qaw’mane Wilson
But what’s in a name?
Maybe he killed her for her saddling him with that name.
I watch The First 48 all the time, and I’ve noticed that drug dealer/user and aspiring rapper are the country’s most dangerous occupations for men. For women, it seems to be “free spirit” or diversity expert.
He looks like a girl.
