Florida rapper who dared critics to confront him shot dead minutes later

Florida rapper Rollie Bands took great exception to people criticizing his beats. In fact, he took to Instagram on Friday, inviting the naysayers to confront him at his Tampa Bay-area apartment complex.

Minutes after posting his challenge on the social media site, he was shot dead.

According to HipHopDX, Bands wrote on his Instagram story: “A lot of these n*****s know where I live at fr. I sleep in peace. If a n***a want smoke I’m at my crib in 5 minutes.”

And five minutes after the posting, Bands was shot once in the parking lot of his apartment building. He died not long after being rushed to a trauma centre.

The suspects — who detectives believe knew and specifically targeted the rapper — fled the scene in a vehicle. There were no suspect descriptions available.

“At this time, the shooting does not appear random, as the suspects and victim are possibly known to each other,” the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in the report.

It’s believed the rapper is survived by a daughter, whom he described as “the only person I live for.”

My Grandma once told me “If you look for trouble, you’ll find trouble.”

Should’ve spent more time at the range than the time he spent running his piehole!

Dissing seems to be a death sentence these days. Seems nobody can handle a little criticism except for crackers or poor white trash. (I self identify as such)

Thankfully he can respond and learn from his mistake...

Life ain’t a game! Act accordingly.

Right up there with General Sedgwick's statement "Why are you dodging like this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."

Dunno, saying “Just come over then and give it your best shot!” has always worked for me. My deduction is that anyone who would start with me in the first place is a pu$$y, so he’s not going to try anything anyway.

Every so often, someone does try to attack, but it’s almost always a little kid. Regarding adults, it seems that the fear of getting shot is an inhibiting factor. And of course, if someone shoots me from afar when I’m just sitting there drinking coffee - well, I could think of worse ways to die.

Bach once drew a sword on an obnoxious and untalented bassoonist. Stabbed him in the coat before onlookers broke up the fight.

Baroque musicians kickin' it gangsta style.

Maybe the bidet can start doing a stumbling version of rap and issue a challenge.

There was a rapper in Brazil, on stage, “singing” about the joys of shooting people in the belly. Someone in the audience shot him in the belly. The rapper died.

Damn! Rappers appear to have low situational intelligence.

Ya gotta admit 5 minutes is amazingly fast. Pizza usually guarantees delivery in 30.
