Up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper Supa Gates has died nearly seven weeks after he was shot in the passenger seat of a Mercedes in Brooklyn.
Supa Gates, whose real name was Aaron Williams, was shot multiple times in the front passenger seat of the luxury vehicle parked on St. John’s Place near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights April 11. He died Thursday at Kings County Hospital, where he had been treated since the shooting.
The 25-year-old musician’s career had just started gaining momentum, with some of his tracks drawing tens of thousands of listeners on YouTube.com.
“He was gonna bust big,” said one close family member, noting that Williams was getting ready to sign with a major studio and go on his first tour starting the Fourth of July weekend.
“That was gonna be his debut,” the devastated relative said. “He was gonna destroy this place. He was working hard to make it.”

Police have made no arrests and it’s not clear why he was shot.
Williams’ relatives thinks envy over his blossoming career led to his death.
“It wasn’t anything... it really and truly was jealously. It wasn’t a gang related issue, it wasn’t a drug-related issue,” his mother said. “Nobody knows how hard I worked to make sure my kids are OK. People don’t know the devastation they’re causing, and how many lives they’re destroying when they take somebody’s child.”

We’ve reached a point, I think, at which nearly every young black male who gets shot for one reason or another was “an aspiring rapper who recently began turning his life around.”
Good grief, WTF is he even saying?
Imagine music so awful that the people who make it keep getting shot. No wonder I can’t stand RAP!

“He was gonna bust big”? Looks like somebody “busted him bigger”.
Gives new meaning to the term “a hit record” or “record hit”.
