A US rapper was killed in front of his home minutes after taunting his opponents online.
Rising Florida rapper Rollie Bands was gunned down outside his apartment complex last Friday after a brash post on Instagram brought near-immediate, fatal results.
He reportedly told his critics to "pull up" on his Instagram story.
"A lot of these n****s know where I live at fr," the rapper wrote, according to HipHopDX.
"I sleep in peace. If a n***a want smoke I'm at my crib in 5 mins."
Just five minutes later, the rapper was shot once in the parking lot of his apartment complex in Tampa.
Bands was rushed to hospital where he died from his injuries.
"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 their report.
A sword-and-sandals epic starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, and directed by Roland Emmerich and Marco Kreuzpaintner, the series debuts on Prime Video on Friday, July 19, 2024.
