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.”
Now he rests in peace / pieces.
“nobody can handle a little criticism”
They have deep-seated self-esteem issues, and as far as I’m concerned, they can deeply shove their self-esteem right up their little boney-assed seats.
“This rapper is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late rapper! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-rapper!”
It must be very difficult to obtain life insurance when you’re a rapper.
Challenge? More like coincidence.
Whoever shot him was gunning for him anyway, and was unlikely to have been “triggered” (sorry for the pun) by his challenge.
Ha ha ha.
...and another angel gets its wings.
Still, it’s bad etiquette not to wait for the triple-dog-dare.
No suspect descriptions? Why he pointed out exactly who they are:
A lot of these n*****s know where I live at...
“When keepin’ it real goes wrong…”
When I did a search for this I just put in rapper. I lost count of the headlines with rapper shot. We seem to like posting those here on FR.
Unless he was shot by a cop or a white hispanic it doesn’t matter
If someones dumb enough to pull out a gun, he better be smart enough to pull the trigger.
If he dumb enough to call for confrontation he better be smart enough to get shot!
When keeping it real goes wrong.
My give a damn broke.

He’s just pining for the fjords.
