The Game Honors Slain Rapper Indian Red Boy & Donates To Funeral Expenses

In a world where hundreds of millions of people have access to streaming their lives in real-time, there are often tragedies that unfold on social media. From abusive situations to robberies to natural disasters to suicides to murders, Livestream viewers can find themselves witnessing horrific moments. Unfortunately, that occurred recently when a Los Angeles rapper named Indian Red Boy, real named Zarial Rivera, was on Instagram Live with another person before being shot and killed while streaming.

While Rivera’s loved ones were grieving, people took to social media with theories about why the rapper was gunned down. People claimed it had to do with Nipsey Hussle and soon, The Game surfaced with a video where he shared a few bars. “All white Air Force 1s/N*ggas coming through the hood with them air force guns/We got more Drakes than the Billboard/Disrespecting Nip, type of sh*t you n*ggas get killed for/We not gon’ stand for the disrespect/Get this .45 Bell pressed against your neck,” Game rhymed.

Later, The Game resurfaced stating that the lyrics were old and not targeted toward Rivera. After taking care of some things behind the scenes, the rapper shared a screenshot of a GoFundMe for the slain rapper where it shows that Rivera’s funeral expenses had been paid.

“Holla’d at the family & got it done as promised with my family…. Don’t talk about it, be about it,” Game added in the caption. “Rest In Peace @indianredboy…. I hope it helps you guys send him off the way he deserves to be…. & from my loved ones to y’all, we send our condolences to @tbc_we_all_we_got @sevenzmommy @_mirageee @niiccoolleeeeee & the rest of Zarial’s immediate family & close friends.”

Game questioned whether blogs would “post the positive” and urged others to donate to Rivera’s family. “IF YOU DONT KNOW LA GANG CULTURE OR THE POLITICS OUT HERE SHUT THE F*CK UP !!!!” he added. “Tired of n*ggas just talkin to be talkin on here while homies out here gettin slaughtered over dumb sh*t !!!! #WeAllGottaDoBetter.”

We send our sincerest condolences to Zarial Rivera’s loved ones. Check out The Game’s posts below.

Rico Nasty Fans Believe She’s Shading Coi Leray With XXXTentacion Lyric

It was just a few months into quarantine when Rico Nasty and Coi Leray took to social media to publicly address their animosity. There has been speculation regarding what led up to the online argument, with Leray later explaining to No Jumper‘s Adam22 that it stemmed from her association with a makeup artist. At the time, the pair exchanged scathing words.

“@Rico_nastyy when you see me Just make sure you keep that same energy… I showed you love but you just can’t deal with that fact that I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN YOU , I LOOK BETTER THAN YOU, I DRESS BETTER THAN YOU , and never in my life have I JOCKED your style,” wrote Leray. Rico replied, “I haven’t laughed this hard since idk when . I could hear ur lisp through this . Shut up d*ck eater.”

After the heat dissipated, Rico was asked if she would ever collaborate with Leray and she quickly answered, “No.” In 2019, Rico Nasty was included in XXL‘s Freshman class alongside other artists like Blueface and Cordae, and following Coi Leray’s controversial raps with this year’s Freshman team, people began pitting the women against one another once again.

Fans of both artists compared Rico and Leray’s freestyles and cyphers, and fans believe Rico addressed the situation with a short tweet. “Stop the comparison that sh*t embarrassing,” she wrote. It’s a line from XXXTentacion’s “#PROUDCATOWNERREMIX,” but people assumed Rico was doing more than just dropping off lyrics.

Meanwhile, Leray has openly stated that she believes she had the best cypher and freestyle for her XXL offerings as her performances continue to be scrutinized.
