Another promising young rapper has been murdered. Tuesday, October 4, 2022, in Los Angeles, Half Ounce was fatally shot.

Half Ounce (actual name Latauriisha O’Brien) was spotted heading down New Hampshire Avenue in Koreatown at around 11:30 p.m. According to our sources he was talking on the phone with his pregnant wife when a dark SUV swooped up to his location and a gunman began fire.

At least a dozen rounds were reported by LAPD officers, according to the incident report. Half Ounce took multiple blows to the head and eventually died. There was no sign that Half Ounce’s friend, who remained unnamed, had fired back at the speeding SUV.

The news outlet reported that this is the third death of a rapper in the past month. On September 12th, PnB Rock was shot and killed outside Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. On September 24th, rapper Kee Riches was fatally shot.

Half Ounce not only rapped, but also worked as a package handler for UPS and attended college. He has a wife and three kids (ages 8, 2, and 1), and another on the way.

To assist pay for Half Ounce’s burial costs, a GoFundMe page has been set up.

A person familiar with the family stated “He loved his family and kids so much! He changed his life around and was going to school and was working at UPS,”. “He had a big heart and would do anything for his family and friends. He was a hard-working and dedicated person. Anything that’s donated will go towards funeral services and towards his child’s. Anything would really help the family say our final goodbyes! And it is very much appreciated!”

On Thursday evening, August 25, vandals in Brooklyn, New York, the birthplace of the late rap icon The Notorious B.I.G., destroyed a mural of the late rapper. News 12 Brooklyn reported that red paint was sprayed over the black-and-white painting at the corner of Saint James Place and Fulton Street. The offender also wrote “East Coast” in spray paint on the wall.

Locals were shocked to hear the news of the mural, and many expressed their dismay that it had occurred in the same community that the musician had helped elevate throughout his brief but fruitful career.

According to resident Johnny Famous, “This is his stomping ground and everything,”“Biggie means a lot to the whole world. So for someone to do this, it’s ridiculous. You gotta be sick in the head, and I know it’s a million cameras out here so somebody saw something.”

Nino Brown, a member of the Junior M.A.F.I.A., shared a video on YouTube depicting the crime’s aftermath and expressed his personal disgust. The Brooklyn rapper captioned his Instagram video, “Some people are so miserable in this world.” The comments section of the post quickly filled up with responses from people like Tek of the rap trio Smif-N-Wessun, Gavin Marchand, and others.

The Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn is Biggie’s birthplace, and the neighborhood is where the artwork was vandalized. The rap star originally lived at an apartment on Saint James Place, which is between Fulton Street and Gates Avenue.

There has been no arrest made in relation with this crime. But the rapper’s supporters and pals are keeping their fingers crossed that the culprit(s) will be caught on one of the area’s many surveillance cameras.

The Notorious B.I.G.’s 50th birthday, which would have been in early this year, was widely commemorated by the music industry. Lil’ Kim hosted the 2nd Annual Biggie Dinner Gala at Manhattan’s Guastavino’s, with sponsors Lexus and Pepsi paying tribute to Biggie’s life and music at the event. Members of Junior M.A.F.I.A., Fat Joe, Havoc, Sway Calloway, DJ Enuff, and more were there, as well as the late rapper’s son CJ Wallace and daughter T’yanna Wallace.

As a tribute to Biggie, New York City lit up the Empire State Building in red and white and added a rotating crown to its mast, invoking the iconic King of New York photo that he was known for.

Below is the mural of Biggie that has been smeared with pork.

Busta Rhymes had a few choice words for a woman and her boyfriend after she tried to grope him while he was performing.

A TikTok user with the handle @gabe.owen04 posted a video of the confrontation on Monday, August 22. When the woman reaches out to touch him, he slaps her hand away and then orders the audience to get back because he has dropped his ring. As soon as he realizes that the woman is staring at him, he starts talking to her husband.

“Stop the music,” he says. “Back up, back up. I dropped my ring down here. Hey shorty, you with your man, right? That’s your girl? What kinda shit you on letting her continue to grab me up. I’m a grown man. I’ll fuck your girl, bro.”

Later, shortly after he elaborates, “I don’t wanna fuck your girl. I got a good one at home. This is a weird thing. Weird times. She touched me and shit. She might do some police shit. I’m not with it.”
