Gun violence has been rocking the Hip Hop community for years, but it seems like it has taken a leap as of late. Along with the recent death of T.I.’s Hustle Gang member Doe B. and Waka Flocka’s younger brother KayO, another rapper has lost his life to senseless violence.
Former G-Unit member Mazaradi Fox was shot and killed in Queens, New York on Friday (Jan 3).
Label boss Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson took to Twitter to mourn the death over his former signee, writing, “saddened by the news of Mazaradi's tragic passing my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”
Mazaradi signed to G-Unit in 2007, but never released an album before leaving the imprint in 2008.
