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.”

Theres a lot of lazy young black men out there. And they all think they can sing for thier supper instead of putting in 8-10 houts of honest hard work. And theres a lot of black hoes out there that cant wait to start a single parent welfare supported family with these lazy young men. Thank the do good goody b. S. Lefties.
Is it official now that the most common cause of death among rappers is “gunshot wound”?
Oh no. Not Supa. The world mourns.
I am more stupider making it 10 seconds through that garbage. And just looks at the roll models for young black boys. A bunch of violent out of control mumbling morons flashing money while living in squalor.
Joe better lower the flag another half of what’s remaining.
