Rapper Dolla Bill Killed in LA
Up-and-coming rapper ‘Dolla Bill’ was murdered late Monday afternoon after he was shot in the head at a posh Los Angeles shopping center known as the Beverly Center. His real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II and he was first discovered at just 12 years old by the famous rapper Akon.
Akon worked with Dolla Bill to release his first single called “Who the F*** is that?”; Rapper T-Pain was also featured on the track. What makes this story even worse is that Dolla Bill had just arrived in LA from Atlanta to begin recording his debut album.
Police have a suspect in custody, who is being held at $1 million bail for pending murder charges, reports CNN. The suspect’s name is Aubrey Louis Berry and he is 23 years old. Police caught up with him at Los Angeles International Airport, where he was likely on his way out of the city. The motive in the killing isn’t yet apparent, but I’ll keep you updated as I learn more about this story.

The long-awaited album from the long-dormant white rapper is slated to hit stores on May 19th. I’m sure the backlash from “Bagpipes from Baghdad” will only get worse from there. So, anyway, Nick Cannon did not take lightly to Eminem’s diss of him and his wife. He responded to media outlets all over, and even made a scathing post on his own blog.
