[ST] Geyeah!
[MP] I'm on my way from New Orleans, and I'm comin to Texas
[MP] And we gon' handle this, ya heard?
[ST] Slim Thugga
[MP] Ghetto Bill!
[Chorus 4X: Master P]
Tear this motherfucker UP, shut it down
[Master P]
Security couldn't stop us, go see the doctor
Nigga wanna fight I got a motherfuckin chopper
I'm in the back gettin blunted with thugs
Whole city walk through, they give me kisses and hugs
I'm a real motherfucker, I ain't takin no shit
I got golds in my mouth, and ice on my wrist
Homies see me in the club and they tryin to hate
I'm poppin bottles in the club cause I'm hard as a 8
Suckers try to mean mug but they ain't bustin a grape
Get my money from the block flippin quarters and eighths
I'm a No Limit Soldier, motherfucker you heard me
Uptown, Calliope, projects to dirty
65 for birdies, call me you thirsty

Geyeah - you can vouch in my town I'm a motherfuckin G

Glock cocked with the clip in, hell naw I ain't trippin

Got the blocks on lock, you gotta come see the boss
If you wanna get the work for the dirt cheap cost
Me and Master P represent the bottom of the South
And if nigga hate that, he'll lose the bottom of his mouth, geyeah
[Chorus]
[Master P]

They must all just hand in their phones so that computer engineers can retrieve whatever messages were being communicated.
This "friend" in cargo pants was signaling to the one opposite the road,and then he started coming over...you can also see the "friend" speaking to the second shooter standing behind the pole.
It doesn't take rocket science to see that this was a set up by his friends,and the ex manager was in on it but he was unfortunately shot dead.
Maybe unfinished business,maybe jealousy,who knows...maybe the friend was communicating with the ex fiances family and they wanted to settle the score and they paid him alot of money to bring AKA to relieve his revenge.
If we don't get answers,we will all protest,because when you're an artist you "belong" to the world.
Akas family is emotional and will only realize after what this video is actually showing because right now they cannot fathom that a close friend of their son was in on it
Jean Pierre Wehry
Im from California and never heard any of AKA's music, but his murder has really disturbed me. The only time i heard of him before his assassination is when his girlfriend died by falling. Im wondering if this was retaliation for that, or if some losers just wanted him gone from jealousy. Poor guy didn't stand a chance. Sad world we live in. RIP
Ustyne Justine Banda
I have watched the video several times....,and I strongly believe the guy in cargo pant was the one who gave a signal to the first shooter on the opposite road and he also spoke with the second shooter who was hiding behind one of the pillars.
This must be an ease case to solve because there is much evidence.
R.I.P AKA!!!!
Nabiel Bux
Yep don did though coz he comunicated with the second shooter and then he pulled out his Cellphone and wen Aka came out he put his phone away an walked away from the suspect
Mima
Your analysis is shallow .
We live in a smart phone era , how many times do you touch ur phone text and check through social media when you are around people ? How many times have u been at a place and chit chatted with random people standing by . ??
AKAs family have embraced and showed Don design love .
He might be very innocent

You can’t blame them they are not trained body guards it’s just his friends,they have never been in a real danger situation and they never expected anything to ever happen
LesegoYv
Thank you so much for hiding what happens after the shooting, cause we do want to hear different opinions on this, some videos have been traumatizing man.
Even how the 1st shooter runs, you can tell he wasn't expecting to be followed
Edidiong Okoro
No it's a she that shoot him watch the video again
virgo
The bodyguard and the friend could see that guy coming, even if it happened in a matter of seconds. Neither of them warned Aka or yelled. I'm sorry these individuals were supposed to protect him and they didn't. A huge superstar left completely unguarded. They are all just as to blame as the person who killed him.

Thr truth will come out..massive snake in the grass here....🤮
