Fabolous Speaks On Associates Death

by JOKESTA

MONDAY DECEMBER 17, 2007

Nearly a month after the murder of his child hood friend, Brooklyn rapper Fabolous has broken his silence to clear up speculations placing him at the scene.

On Friday November 23rd, twenty five year old Shamel Mckinney was stabbed and killed at a New York City hotspot as he allegedly tried to steal $10,000 worth of chains from another clubgoer, Anthony Taylor, 26.

While many news reports placed Fabolous at the scene, the "You Make Me Better" hit maker insists he was nowhere in sight.  

In other news…

  • Fabolous Says No to Guns, Plac...
  • Fabolous Talks About shooting,...
  • Fabolous Shot Outside of Club
  • Fabolous Lends Britney A Helpi...

In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, Fabolous continues his affirmation saying he barely left the house on the day of the incident.

"On Thanksgiving, I think I came out of the house one time - to go get eggnog." Said Fab who wasn't aware of Mckinney's murder until the following morning.

"It was very much a shock to me,"  he continued.

"When you hear stuff happened to bad guys, you're like, 'Okay, yeah, it was coming to them.' Shamel's not that kind of person. I was waiting to hear more of the story. Unfortunately, when I heard the story, I ended up being in it."

According to  reports, Mckinney's muderer,  AnthonyTaylor, was arrested in Georgia on Dec. 4 and has been brought back to the city to face second-degree murder charges.

Niggas have to understand when you get some fame out there from being a rap artist you have to tell your goons that niggas have to chill beacause shit will come back to you beacause that is your squad. We know the nigga try to snatch homeboy chain and got what he deserve but now this nigga that was going to just party and have fun had to kill this nigga and go to jail for nothing! He defended himself and now slap with second-degree murder charges!

alright, dis is to yall fuckin hatin ass niggaz, let me make myself clear, what i was talkin about was, fab got dis song he put out with T-Pain,its one of those lover boy songs and in it he says"ya man screwed up, so he better be from texas" and to me dat is dissin texas and screw, i ain't gonna lie, there is alot of cd's dat say "chopped and screwed" on it but real niggaz from texas and rappers like trae and z-ro who knew dj screw personally said its disrespectful to say "screwed" because dj screw was a man no a type of music. its just fuckin disrespectful for someone like fab to say something like dat when he ain't even from texas and doesn't know shit about screw, how would yall like it if someone from H-Town said something about new york or wherever the fuck yall hatin ass niggaz from. dat lil nigga needs to keep texas and screw out his fuckin mouth because he doesn't know shit about it, and the way he says it to, "ya man screwed up so he better be from texas" fuckin hatin ass nigga. its the same thing as sayin "he fucked up so he better be from texas" dats why i'm like "FUCK FABOLOUS" and yall niggaz saying i need to learn how to speak, yall ain't know bout dis texas slang, so keep tha hatin out ya fuckin mouths. i know dis got nothin to 2 do wit this topic so the only thing i can say is fab's man tried to jack a nigga and got wut he deserved.
