“What hurts so much about this situation is [what] Wallo and Gillie do for the community of Philadelphia,” Charlamagne remarked. “As much as they pour into these young brothers and try to stray them away from… killing each other and gang violence. To have his son be a victim of gun violence is tragic and a reminder that life is indeed not fair, in no way shape or form.” For more news and the latest updates on Gillie Da King, check back in with HNHH.
