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.”

So sad. He doesn’t sound like a bad guy, although in my opinion, rap is the musical equivalent of sh*t. But that’s just a musical choice.

Blacks, in Africa or the US, have got to stop killing each other. They have created a culture of the hair-trigger temper, where everybody is PO’d all the time and just waiting for somebody to diss them by breathing.

I would love to hear some black “Rev’run” here…or even, unlikely as it may be, some black politician…say something directed at black people telling them to stop this stupidity.

Of course, to the Dems, it appears to be perfectly alright to have blacks offing each other by the dozens every night all across the country, have blacks killing the random white person who crosses their paths, and having them leaving fatherless children all over the place.

This is a problem that only black people themselves can solve, and we can only pray that a leader will arise who can bring them to their senses.

From the Rapper Million $$ Bill....

Kill the Rapper, Kill him dead
Shoot the brother in the head
Crush his throat with his gold chain
Watch the video of his pain.
Hate the bastard, the illigit
Mouthing nonsensense, verbal shit
The story here that we must tell
Let the sob rot in hell

I’m too old to be a rap fan, so I never heard of this rapper.

“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!”

The “Dead Parrot sketch”. Monty Python. I was pleased to see there’s a Wikipedia article on it, and a long article at that.

Reminds me of an old Richard Pryor routine as a preacher delivering a eulogy (strong language warning!)

“A lot of these n*****s know where I live at fr.

Which begs the question, what was his FR screen name?

That’s a better response time than the national average for police departments.
