We previously reported that rapper Indian Red Boy was shot and killed on Instagram live.
Born nèe Zerail Dijon Rivera, KCAL 9 News reports that the rapper was shot multiple times while sitting in his car on the evening of July 8 in Hawthorne. He allegedly dissed Nipsey Hussle, and authorities believe this is why he was targeted. Red Boy is allegedly affiliated with the Bloods gang, and he’s also accused of defacing a Nipsey mural.
The Los Angeles Police Department reports Red Boy was pronounced dead at the scene. There’s footage of the tragedy circulating on the Internet. In the graphic video, you hear a round of bullets ringing out, one struck Red Boy as he was on IG Live.
A video of The Game freestyling surfaced online and fans assumed he was taking a diss at Indian Red Boy. He raps, “all white Air Force 1s/N*ggas coming through the hood with them air force guns/We got more Drakes than the Billboard/Disrespecting Nip, type of sh*t you n*ggas get killed for/We not gon’ stand for the disrespect/Get this .45 Bell pressed against your neck.”
Game jumped online to clear up the rumors. He says this was not a diss towards Red Boy, and that the bars were old. “Understand that I meant no disrespect to no Pirus, no bloods, no L.A. n***as, no gangbangers, period,” said Game. “Speaking on the Indian Red Boy situation, number one, R.I.P. to the homie. Love to his whole family, his close homies, the whole Inglewood family, and all the Pirus across the world, period.
“I been wrote those bars, those bars been in my phone since May or April. Yesterday, I decided to put the shit out on the Live, bad timing on my behalf. I feel n***as, n***as feel like I disrespected somebody but it’s really just bad timing. On me, I’ma get with the big homies, some of the lil homies and I’ma get with blood’s family and help bury blood and throw some chips his way for the funeral.”
