Akon’s artist Dolla shot and killed at the Beverly Center: Update, suspect charged
Posted by Miss Info under beef , crime , not good for hip hop , not good for humanity , sigh.... , videos[27] Comments
(thanks to Rowdy Yates for the video)
Konvict Music artist Dolla was the one who beat up Miami artist 2 Pistols in the press room of the BET Awards last year, allegedly over a cameo on the T-Pain song “She Got It.” (Dubious legacy)
Aside from the obvious tragedy of a 21 year being gunned down, I’m shocked about the sheer stupidity of shooting someone at such a high-profile, high-traffic place. Have you ever been to the Beverly Center? Its packed! Just driving away in your rental car would take 20 minutes in the middle of the day.
Also…its very curious that the guy they arrested was trying to fly back to his hometown of Atlanta….so did this Aubrey Berry guy fly all the way out to LA just to assassinate this young man? That’s seriously premeditated.
UPDATE: a new report, says, Aubrey Berry has now been booked and charged with murder…watch after the jump…
***Dolla’s publicist says that Dolla and his killer were actually on the same plane going from ATL to LA together and got into an argument during the trip! The sad plot thickens…
For some background on Dolla:
BossLady from DrJays.com interviewed him last year.
and the homie Angela Yee also interviewed him on Shade45 with Melyssa Ford last year:
Dolla on Shade45 with Angela Yee and Melyssa Ford Part 1
“He talks about his modeling career, the group deal he was previously signed to, why he doesn’t smoke and drink, his past family troubles, his dad committing suicide in front of him as a child and getting shot.”
Dolla on Shade45 with Angela Yee and Melyssa Ford Part 2
“He spits a freestyle and talks about his sister being in jail and the stress it has cause on him and his family.”

This cat could really spit. He was definitely getting better as you can tell from his more recent ish. Surprise an album never came out, I’m really going to miss him, personally. And I hardly say that about any rapper, but his last joint, “Gerogia Nights”, where Dolla says he will die by the gun, sounds like some deep forshadowing on his part. I hope his ‘crew” respects this guy’s legacy, may he R.I.P. Dolla will be missed, check out his mixtapes, “Sextapes” and “Another Day Another Dolla”.

Tony he wasn’t a thug rapper. Braids and being black doesn’t make you a thug. But assuming that he was one makes you an ass…. R I P Dolla.

Maan, alot of people outside the city think that it’s so crazy it happened at Beverly Center. It is usually a pretty busy place but not on weekdays and on top of that it’s actually pretty grimey over there. But yo, if they was on the same plane together that ain’t no coincident.

I can’t stop trying to find stories about this kid. I feel so bad for him like I knew him. I guess because I’ve lost sooooo many people in my life that you start to feel the pain all over again and then you start to think about the families that are involved on both sides. One mother has to bury her child in the ground and the other has to bury her child to the system. Sad all the way around. May that kid rest in peace man and everybody just pray for both families. Especially for the kid that shot Dolla because only the devil could make someone that mad that you want to kill. Dolla is surely in a better place.

@ Jaqui
The devil’s fault? The shooter is just a plain idiot like most of these bitches, quick to pull the trigger for nothing. It’s not that hard, get an education and get a decent job.
Chris Rock said it best on gun control “all bullets should cost $5000″
