Atlanta is such a shit hole along with all them southern states. Not really surprised dude but man Rip so sad.... wtf Twitter everyone is dying today. Ok yikes!

No one cares about gang violence

Where’s Reverend Al?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

JMendez_1000 rsdx773

oh😔

Was he also an aspiring doctor or lawyer?

Rappers lives obviously don’t matter lately. Wonder what the mayor thinks?

Heart breaking for the family.

pretty sure there's a overwhelming difference between the number of rappers getting shot and killed and any the other type of musician. But yeah, let's not blame the culture in any way whatsoever

Another sacrifice smh

Black lives matter!!!

“Defund the police” kills black lives

Let us continue to kill each other while we say Black Lives Matter. Find out if a police killed him, then we can have a march, and say No Justice, No Peace. Let us continiue the Self-Hate.

Sad RIP

27Club

Why are all these rappers being shot and killed? Rap music is peaceful and would never promote such things as gang violence, homophobia, and domestic violence.

Yep Im sure the mayor will say its the police 👮‍♀️ fault

I bet it was those pesky police again....

What did he do? This should be good.

I wonder what was the race of the shooter? TMZ have been mentioning the race of people in their news lately. RIP for whoever he was.

Was it white supremicists That killed him?

BLM just proves it’s a scam. Wake up!

oh well...(not racist, just a general ho-hum)

Self fulfilled prophecy.

Hmmmm... what race was the killer ?

PaolaQP1231 Sounds about right

Black Rapper gets shot ...

Yet u fail to report on JeffreyEpstein or GhislainMaxwell good job HarveyLevinTMZ gee I wonder WHY

A black city,a black mayor,black DA,black police chief and they blame white People for there problems still..

I'm Lil' Confused....

Finally

But it’s the cops fault right 🤦🏻‍♀️

Black lives matter tho

I find it funny that it's only rappers dying nowadays.

Nazis at it again.

shucks another mouthpiece for the devil erased from history

Long live Rudy

Rip💯

How to avoid getting shot, Part 1: don't be a rapper.

And you want us to respect BLM? Look what they don’t care about BLM!

🙏🏿😕

🙏🏿🙏🏿

Defund the Police 🤣

I guess this black life does not matter. Where are the riots and looting over this black man being killed?

Say it ain't so.

Lil who?

Never heard

Crazy in America you need life insurance as soon as the umbilical cord is cut!

The past is very dangerous

Rip 😇🙏🕊♥️♥️

Killer wasn't white or a cop so BLM be like.........

Who?

Womp Womp.

We all know the cops did this! They are the biggest threat to black men!

RIP😔👼🏾

StopSnitchin

ya gunned down by law enforcement like the race baiter KingJames says 🤡

if black on black crime, this story goes away and never reported on again! BlackLivesMatter is a political pawn for the DNC!!!!!! DemocratsDividingAndDestroyingAmerica

God bless you young man Rest In Peace

White people acting like their kids don't shoot up schools. Does that make all of yall serial killers?

WiseOldQueen Never heard of him.

Any riots or looting planned?

Police didn’t show up

I def passed this was on the way home last night, that’s crazy af

How come you never see country music stars die from gunfire? They all seem to die of old age.

Who?

Who did they call when he was shot? The counselors office since they fired all the cops...

Some don’t sound right!

Another irrelevant rapper killed by violence. But wait I thought all black lives mattered. No riots, no looting, no CNN, strange.

SMH

Don’t worry a social worker will get right on it...

Atlanta has become everything they rap about ... death, murder, gangs,, lawlessness.. Sodom and Gomorrah... Have at it Satan..they call you down with every verse.

That’s why you eat the damn mushrooms.

'The Medical Examiner confirmed with us they have the body of Rudolph Johnson — that's Lil Marlo's government name.' — TMZ LOL...'government name'?!? Say what you really want to say...'that be his slave name, nigga!'...

Close to 5000 black people die at the hands of black people in the US each year yet nobody gives a fuck, black lives only matter when killed by white people right?

never heard his music but rip

Why are these rappers always beefing?

icedvei Bruh fuck this whole thread “y’all don’t care when there is black on black crime”. well for one black on black crime doesn’t exist, and two y’all don’t care about “black on black crime” either or else you’d be upset that it’s a “problem”

Comment section used to say rip when stuff like this happened. now it’s everyone saying where’s “BLM”? or “y’all gonna blame it on the police”? humans are comedy 😂. We gotta stop killing our own people tho FR!!!

Lock Down the city now, people murdering in a damn pandemic😡

BLM?

Who?

These guys did it.

The people in this comment section.. A whole other breed of ignorance.. Anyways RIP.

How did this even happen?!

Why do the racist white cops keep killing rappers!?!?!?

By a black man.

Smmfh

By a police officer or a member of the KKK?🤔

Oh dear how sad 😂

Who tf has time to be shooting people in the middle of Summer? It’s 500 million degrees here in Vegas. I KNOW Atl ain’t any cooler. Knock it off. Getchur asses inside and mind ur own business. Take this down time as opportunity to start a new Business or “paper“ route

By a Cop?

Rip Marlo 💔

ohh y’all real woke wit the racism today

Rip Lil Marlo .. he had a good heart

it must feel good to be a gangster .. 💅

OGormain Damn white supremacists...

the racism in this comment section is crazy

Defund the police and he won't be the last...

So sad

BUT black LIVES matter... NO

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Good thing no cops were involved. Someone could’ve gotten hurt.

This comment section is disappointing, yet understandable 😔

Does anyone care anymore. These whack rappers acting hard and making crap music. That’s their legacy. Crap happens to crappy people sometimes. Why not promote being a good person

Killed by a white police?

🙏🙏🙏

It's insane how one black dude killing another black dude brings the racists out of hiding to cancel BLM how tf do y'all even dislike someone bc they're a different color that's some childish ass shit when you think of it reminding me of some lil ass kids crying over green apples

I hope DaBabyDaBaby is also connected to the murder; so he goes to jail for life

Lulz

Some of you just waiting for any black crime to jump out and say “ohh so THIS is why blm?” This is not the point you think it is, matter of fact it shows why blm exists, you still don’t understand structural racism. Congrats.

His “government name”?

White people are gonna eat this up and swear they doing something lol

Make guns uncool. 😢

What's with all the racist remarks? Why not sympathy and condolences for the loss of this young man? God rest his soul.

Another blackonblack crime! EnoughIsEnough ..When will this stop!

RIP

LOL

BLM made me not care about this anymore. if we covered all murders the same I would.

Live the thug life die by the thug life

Don't know who he was, but these senseless murders need to stop.

Who?

why is this comment section so racist bruh like wtf?

Damn white supremacy! They are killing our black men!

This entire thread is evidence of how fucked up racism is in America

s.i.p shordy🙏🏾

'Tryna link up with real n----s and solid killers that's tryna get it I been f----n' lil' bitch for a lil' minute... I spin your block about lil' Gunna... Gotta get inside of my bag, gotta get that cash, I gotta stack it fast When you come, trap really tax (Skrrt)' - lil marlo

It's was probably a Lil misunderstanding lol.. I could care less who these people are 😂😂

Not surprising money doesn’t buy class or security black lives matter thugs will con’t their to show their violence towards everyone! Atlanta KeishaBottoms + NYC NYCMayor BilldeBlasio are both derelict politicians that promote n protect this behavior. Hope they’re next!

jacksonklewan34

If it’s not opening your eyes by now your completely brainwashed. All these young rappers dying at age 27 and all ages . Who is murdering these young men and women

Who?

Wheres BLM

Victory of Violence, y'all.

So the shootings start again... Why am I not surprised?😒

one less rapper teaching the n word to the children

BLM?

Wow, shocking! 🙄

All Black Lives Matter! Even black people murdered by another black person. Don't only be outraged when its a cop or a white person. Lets tackle all issues taking away black lives!

Not gonna be long before the title of “oldest living rapper” goes to a guy in his mid-30s.

Watch BlackLivesMatter not say shit

I almost thought we lost baby! Y’all need to word y’all titles better, rip to marlo 💯

Damn! A future legend gone too soon! 🙏🏿

Want to earn revenue off your music? Order services from us today to start earning.

Damn sad, a lot of haters out there

Have they arrested the cops that killed him?

This comment section has a bunch of racist mf losers

BLM black on black crime. Instead of always staying silent maybe start talking about it even though it doesn’t fit your narrative of a race war politics violence RacismMustFall

I thought black lives matter

Who dat be?

I guess Covid-19 doesn't stop senseless killing even in hip hop. Man I am so disappointed in our culture. I hope these murderers get out and VoteForOurLives and get the real killer out of office come November....God Bless Us All

Yet, somehow, for some inexplicable reason, it's the Atlanta_Police the residents of ATL are supposed to be worried about according to KeishaBottoms and others.

Hip-hop has a monopoly on shooting deaths of artists. This is really sad.

Does this Black Life Matter?

Cities need to protest on their own specific violence. Sad this guy's life will peek with a TMZ post...

We giving these racist white folk reasons to talk shit!

LilMarloLifeMatters

We gotta stop killing each other!

Rapped and lived by gangster code. Is this shocking?

News flash: Another customary shooting of a rapper. Dont forget the hash tag folks

Lmao the fucking idiots in the comment section got me dying Rip lil Marlo 💔

Never heard of her. RapIsNotMusic

What’s the deal with rappers getting murdered?

So many rappers end up shot to death. Why is that? 🤔

I bet the kkk did it and not some inner city youth high out of his mind looking to make a name for himself

Thought him and lip baby died 🤦‍♂️

Wow, garbage people being garbage. BlackLivesMattters

His life seems to more important than these babies lives. But their not famous 🤔🤔 Anyone with the capability of influencing change and aren't are killers. These stupid celebrities don't care about our babies. ScrewHollywood & dumb ass reporters one life above another...

Does the Rapper get a Good old Coffin ?

Guessing everyone is going to start blaming the police for this.

Thinking a Hit..he had info some pedo criminal didn't want out. Learned Tupac killed cuz upcoming album told truth..

What the heck is a “government name” R U saying that the U. S. GOV named the rapper? I thought our names were usually referred to as “given” name & NOT as “government name” ?

Rap isn't cool

Rap, the only music genre where nobody ever hears of you til you are shot dead.

Black Lives What?!

one less shit sound cloud rapper

They slaughter each other in Gleeful Delight. Can you imagine what they will do to you.

CHIRAQ: highest gun violence and murder rate in the country ATL: hold my 🍺

RIP, no one values life anymore. This is a sub Cultural problem that no one is gonna address. Get your RIPs ready for the next young man that gets shot because that’s all you do. Can we please start calling out these artist that promote violence and misogyny. It’s damaging!!!!!

Who is this again?

If Black Lives really mattered, blacks would stop killing other blacks.

Another statistic, unfortunately.

JFGariepy Why did white people do this?

JFGariepy An upstanding gentleman I'm sure as evidenced in his lyrics.

Quick! Someone call a social worker

this type of stuff happens on the daily bruh, this ain't about race.

He has a whole tear tattoo under his eye. Yeah. That was his life, so let's stop pretending.

RIP 🌹

Black Lives Matter

I care a lil

What the fuck is wrong with the replies

Welp... someone is about to go mainstream... RIP BRO

You can thank our mayor RIP

Prayers

huzaifa_mahenti ab naam hi aisa hai

SyStEmIc RaCiSm. It’s white peoples faults! ACAB!!!! can’t wait for Antifa/BLM supporters to make up another conspiracy theory that whites are evil and should all be killed

Rip big fella

Who?

I see the racist couldn’t wait to type today. R.I.P Marlo

Blklivesmatter ukblm

You reap what you sow Ritual/Sacrifice👁

I’m African American and even I don’t go to Atlanta or FultonCounty anymore. That is one seriously dangerous place and their mayor KeishaBottoms doesn’t care. I can’t believe they still have conventions in the ATL. It’s a war zone. Please be safe. DragonCon Convention

This seems to be black on black crime so BLM doesn’t care 😑. This is why we need police in inner cities to deal with gangs and other black on black issues!

Who?

WHO

But they want to defund the police in Atlanta too , right? Where is BLM

Country singers never shot to death, wonder why that is?

Who?

I couldn't care less. More black on black violence. Clearly black people don't actually think black lives matter. SMH.

How the fuck do you get the white community to take BLM seriously when these monsters can’t stop killing each other?

His life didn't matter to his enemies, and his life doesn't matter to Black Lives Matter.

Damn

i swear they need to start turning off comments on these posts

Whose ready to protest!!...... Crickets 🤷‍♂️

Where's the outrage

They bang on about violence in their lyrics etc. If you glorify it then don’t be surprised if you end up on the receiving end of it I guess.

Where Blacklivesmatter at?

T.I. Must’ve approved since he is the king of the south no?

WTF man

So sad he died from police brutality and Covid.

It’s racist to point out that this is a culture of violence that has been normalized, glamorized and idolized. Oooo weeee spittin dat fire yo! 🔥

Time to defund more police.

Probably a white supremacy thing...

Who cares

13%

ATL Shootings Continue...SMH

these comments are sad. rip

Another day , another dead black man.

Let me guess... Black on Black crime. Where's BlackLivesMattters Cowards

No BLM riot/protest for this guy?

...he’s not a rapper, he’s a street dude that happens to rap!

RIP

Just like Chicago men and their guns

Tragic death ... But as often as is the case it was NOT at the hands of a police officer. BlueLivesMatter

Man, if black lives matter why are you all killing each other?

Instead of RIP most of these comments are where’s BLM? You think black people don’t know B.o.B crime is bad? WtACTUALF? Yes, we do. The same way we know most school mass killers are white yet we still send our kids to school. Let’s find a solution instead of instigating racism.

Buh bye

Imagine that 🇺🇲

Lmao

Who?

These comments so fucked up

It must have been the police.

Thought he was killed in Detroit

Funny how you never see all these country music singers killing or being killed. Wonder why that is🤔

Why have I seem more celebrity rapper being killed than unarmed black men by the police? It's see like the murders might be a bigger issue? Idk may e it's a cultural thing and that accepted but where I'm from that's kinda messed up. Y'all lemme know what you think

The fuck are rappers all killing each other for? What are they trying to prove?

Well KeishaBottoms still has not gettin her city under control. Not even with the the 10k troops ordered in by GovKemp . What a mess Atlanta is turning out to be. I hope this didn’t happen at that Wendy’s area! HotMess 🔥🔥🔥🔥💁‍♀️

“Black on black crime” so just crime What do you call white on white crime idiot

Absolutely shocked to hear this.😉

Don't worry. They died peacefully I'm sure.

Does this Black Life Matter? Oh guess not since it was black on black crime 🤡

What is the name of the cop who shot him? ALLBLACKLIVESMATTER BackTheBlue

plzbepatient Oh no, how ever could this have happened?!

Who cares besides the hood crowd? BLM in hiding once again.

Who?

Death comes in three...

Black lives matter only if taken by non black people right

The devil went down to georgia he was lookin' for a soul to steal...

BlackLiesMatter no protest march when y’all kill each other. BLM means nothing when this shit happens EVERYDAY. Funny how BlueLivesMatter when you killing each other. Wait til BlueFlu hits & nobody’s there to catch the killer.

Sad, too Sad!!!!! Condolences to the family 🙏💔

This is what a “Stop Snitching” society gets you! Our black community needs to start snitching, then maybe we’d stop killing each other

No idea who he was, but rip. Hopefully they get ahold of whoever did it.

Black lives matter....

So sad

Black lives matter is one movement and black on black crime is crime. You know how like y’all have white on write crime. Killing parents for insurance money, shooting up schools, concerts and movie theaters. Drowning kids in car and blaming it on a black persons....

No sure how and if BLM is going to comment on this or will they be silence

Soooo while we're all in da streetz marchin for OUR LIVES who in da hell is shooting these rappers? Tray Savage, Huey, Lil Mario all within a span of about 30 days. Wake Da Fuk UP ya'll. Somethin bigger is going on than these petty shyt-talkin beefs.

Rip lil mario

'Famously known as...' Never heard of her.

ok who 1st read this as mario i was ready to make some goomba jokes but srsly rip lil marlo

People are arguing in the comments instead of just saying “rest in peace”.........

BLM only matters when a white cop does it. Shameful!!

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk

RIP 🙏🏾

BLM won't protest black on black crime. They don't care about black lives taken by another black person.

Big surprise here.

Damn bru this shit ain’t getting better out here shit getting worse. Stay strap brothers! RIPMarlo

Look at what's happening! These liberals are so racists that they think you can't see it, I know you can. Personal responsibility and police reform have to go hand and hand. White,Black, LGBTQ, whatever fix your self first, in the end that's all you can control.

yall love comin to the comments to disrespect somebody passin. you’re time will come. God dont like ugly

Get a decent reporter. There is literally no way that he was shot on 285 'in' downtown Atlanta. That road doesn't go there. RIP and terrible loss but get your facts straight.

JFGariepy I never hear about these people before they get shot.

JFGariepy Hope he wasn’t rapping about violence that would be too ironic.

RIP Lil Marlo!

Only time they report black on black crime is if it's a toddler or rapper. I'm betting the majority of victims are neither.

Gotta love hip hop. It has evolved into one of the worst things to happen to the Black community.

Rest well

and?

Go ahead. Show us the pictures of who shot him.

Who

BLM though? Right?

Meh. Fuck em

JFGariepy lol.

senseless violence at a time like this man. pride is not that important. especially when you aint got shit to show besides a dead body.

who ?

These black lives don't matter

News: Another black man shot and killed Me: damn, anyways anyone getting on cod today? Also me: Day after Day, same old news on permanent repeat.

lil’ lives matter

lilbaby4PF DID it! He hired hitmen out of the 404. Police already know.

Having Lil in front of your name is a death sentence

Yet more evidence that rap is violent and vile. RIP

Omg

Hopefully they catch the mfer that did that. Tired of seeing people trying to make it getting shot down by their own. Hater.

Wheres BLM?

all these old racists in the comments go take care of your kids or something.

NOO

When someone wants to be a singer but has no talent they become a rapper

That's so messed up

Noooo not in Atlanta. Let me guess, a white cop did it? Where you at BLM 👂

Most rappers die in their own city!! However I’ve never heard of him and I think Quality Control as a label should disband!

Where is BLM for the outrage? Oh I forgot black on black crime is ok to them.

Where is the BLM outrage for Black on Black crime🤔

Never hear about Country Music Singers or Opera getting shot. Lol thug life trash..

who?

Whack Rappers Lives Matter

Blacked 😃

Damn I hear about all these rapper(don’t know who half of the are) getting shot. Shit y’all really about that life you rap about. Drake left out the part where he doesn’t actually shoot guns and pop pills.

This is why yelling and hollering blacklives matter don’t make sense

Anothe day in the ghetto nothing new

Well that’s what he gets for playing around

BLM right?

Black Liv... oh wait who shot him?

Rip 🙏🏽🙏🏽💚💚

Left and right baby. Who’s next

Who gives a rats ass!!

homie should've got a mushroom

JamelnotJamal This whole comment section is filled with racism wow

Drugs involved?

Was it a white man or a white cop?

Damn bro Rest in Power.

Who?

We mad a cops for killing us but when we kill us it’s a different narrative.

Let me guess it's not by a cop?

The news will keep quiet on this... a black on black crime won't be allowed to air... it doesn't follow the script. 🌻

Street cred. Now the social workers have to piece this together. Where was the National Guard? Thanks mayor.

Black on black crime

Chief Keef sister Husband *New* Music Video

🙏

Wondering if the record label took out an insurance policy on him like Death Row Records did with Tupac. 🌻

bobby_hatib 1st n 3rd mazee🤦‍♂️

Rip🙏

When you oppress yourself with your life decisions.

He was a LegEnD

What a shock, ATL!

Damn, this really hurt to hear.

may God rest his soul

He probably was thinking of 28-3 moments before he passed. God damn you Kyle Shanahan why did you kill this man?

He's no Rayshard Brooks. They'll be no protest

BlackLivesMatter

Blm. Who shot him?

COVID

Bruh rip

Too bad, so sad

Thug life. BlacklivesMatter bro!

Oh well

His life matter will depend on his poliitics....

Be none left soon.

Hope the social worker finds out who murdered him. Sad his life is gone. May he Rest In Peace. 💗

Who?

We have got to stop killing each other. The police have got to stop killing people. We must stop bombing everything that moves. This is no way to spend our short lives on this planet.

Ion know who you are but rip

BLM ?

💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂

Shocker

Happens daily 🤷🏽‍♂️

BLM!

RIP
