A couple of years ago, two people were found murdered in a vehicle owned by former heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman. This is the first article I’ve seen on it. It mentions that the people arrested are accused of the murders in order “to advance the interests of the rap music firm Shake Down Entertainment.”
It doesn’t, however, say how these murders, especially these connected to the ex-champ, would have done this.
As a fan of boxing, I saw an article on this when it happened, but there weren’t many details then, either. It seems from the article that the drug dealing the two “victims” were involved in somehow helped finance the rap label. There are instances when drug money was used to help finance a rap label. For example, Eric “Eazy-E” Wright helped start his label and the group NWA with profits from his crack dealing. I know I’ve heard of others, but can’t think of any specific names now.
