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.”
Sounds like he's just chillin'...
Opps?
That's when those karate lessons come in handy:
He’ll be still voting Democrat, from now on.
The world is slightly better today.
just pining for the fjords
🤣🤣🤣🤣
or there’s just alot of them to report
This is so senseless. After reading some of the comments, it almost seems like the Famo wars of Lesotho are spreading worldwide and to include rap. I read they had spread to other parts of South Africa, but ... smh.
“But in 2004, after one Famo musician allegedly shot another, a cycle of revenge developed, fuelled by poisonous lyrics in songs. And over the last two decades scores of Famo artists and hundreds of other people connected with the music - producers, fans, DJs, musicians’ family members - have been gunned down.”

For every dead rapper, there’s ten more aspiring to take his place.
If this keeps up, that ‘hood will turn into a rap desert.
Well in this case it’s almost cliche. Here is how HipHopDX started their report.
.TAMPA, FL – Aspiring Tampa, Florida rapper Rollie Bands was reportedly shot and killed over the weekend minutes after challenging his enemies to meet him at his apartment. According to Fox 13, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies said officers were investigating a murder at IQ Apartments on Bruce B Downs Boulevard on Friday (July 22).
Aspiring no more....and they could rename the street Rollie B Downs Boulevard and his crib Low IQ Apartments.
Being shot in the parking lot is always painful
No description? I’ll take a wild guess and say it was a black guy.
It’s the worst of all places!
And no privacy. Nosy parkers all over the place.
At least Sedgwick has a county in Kansas named for him. I don’t think this late rapper will be so honored.
Darwin Award candidate.
Umar was named the second Caliph in 634. He promised the people to rule honestly:
“O people, if anyone from among you finds any fault in me, he should rectify it.”
A man stood up and said, “If we find any crookedness in you, we will rectify it with our swords.”
Umar was rectified in 644.
Looks like Florida Man didn’t wait as long to rectify rapper Rollie Bands.
“Your proposal is acceptable.”
I don’t think so.
