Murdered Rapper Dolla’s Family Releases Statement

Written by Pharoh Martin on May 21, 2009 4:12 pm


<br />

Dolla’s family released this statement to the media about the rapper’s death:

“First and foremost we, the Burton family would like to thank everyone for all their kind thoughts and prayers during these trying times.

Most recently, the Burton family was made aware that there have been numerous false claims of information floating around the net and also reported in reputable media outlets. Part of this was due to someone who was not authorized to speak on the family’s behalf and who claimed to be the publicist of record decided to disseminate false information on her own and without the consent of the family to several media outlets.

Due to the circumstances of the situation no other information will be released at this time. We are grateful for your continued support in these trying times. We now ask everyone to allow us to mourn the loss of our beloved Roderick Anthony Burton II.”

    The kid was full of potential. I remember when that “Whe the eff is that” came out, he showed signs of someone who was hungry to excel in lyrical wizardry. It’s sad to see a life lost in any circ**stance.

    Live by the gun, die by the gun. Stop glorifying ignorance in your music. How man gospel singers have been shot compared to rappers? Think about it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ms_real2008/ ms_real2008

    First off to mention that he was killed because he “lived by the gun” is very disrespectful. All that is needed is to say R.I.P or nothing at all. A person can get killed anywhere regardless if they’re a gospel singer or otherwise. This id for tallerthanyou!
