Dolla

The family of the slain rapper “Dolla” released a statement regarding the murder

“First and foremost we, the Burton family would like to thank everyone for all their kind thoughts and prayers during these trying times,” the statement reads. “Most recently, the Burton family was made aware that there have been numerous false claims of information floating around the ‘net and also reported in reputable media outlets. Part of this was due to someone who was not authorized to speak on the family’s behalf and who claimed to be the publicist of record decided to disseminate false information on her own and without the consent of the family to several media outlets.

“Due to the circumstances of the situation no other information will be released at this time. We are grateful for your continued support in these trying times. We now ask everyone to allow us to mourn the loss of our beloved Roderick Anthony Burton.”

RIP. We want this senseless violence to stop.

    I FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO PASSES THIS WAY…

    I JUST THOUGHT HIS MUSIC SHOULD DIE ALSO AND BE BANISHED TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL!!!

  • frida

    To: John D. Hater it is of extremely poor taste to be thankful for the death of a person because you don’t care for their music. What’s wrong with you? Do you have parents? Is this how you were raised? Or, were you raised by animals. I’m sure your parents cannot be proud of you for your insensitive comments.
    Please stop with your hateful comments. There’s enough hate in the world & we don’t need to hear yours.
    John D. Hater, you must have a very dark soul, and if you don’t know what that means, it proves my point.
    Please show your comments to your Mom or Dad, ask them if they’re proud of you. Shame on you.

    Its sad because his song “who the heck is that” wasn’t even a song I support, but it’s still really sad. It makes you feel grateful for your life and the people around you.

    John D. Hater, you are an nympcomput, idiotic, ignorant *zz hole to say something like that. You have a choice, if you didn’t like his music, don’t buy it. Yes, you are a hater. You are probably jealous because he was such a handsome youngman and YOU’RE NOT. Go crack a mirror or two with your face. You Disgust me, sicko.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love-

    @John D Hater Wow! You surely have pissed off alot of people with your immature rant. Your showing your age and mentality by your comments. Now go to your room and no TV for the rest of the night.

  • Ms. LaQuaishia

    So, are they making thinly veiled comments about his publicist, Sue Vannasing? If so, that is very shady.

    All I can say is black men you all are doing exactly what the white man want you to do. Destroy the race. Stop the violence. Black men are the most ignorant creators on this earth. Stop and think. If you all destroy one another who will continue with the race. We soon will be less than a minority.

  • always knew

    another blk man down…

    R.I.P.

    I wish we could get past the part

    where each other’s life, is not

    worth anything..

    This man was killed for no apparent reason..

    This is unacceptable..

  • MeMe

    I would like to say again to the family, May God bless you and stay strong. I am vey happy they caught the person responsible for your lost. I lost my brother in August 01 and I know what you are going through. The police caught the guys responsible for murdering my brother about five years later. I know it was the good Lord who lead my brothers case. You are blessed, because God let them catch them immediatly. I will continue to pray for the family and know that he is in the hand of the Lord. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Amen :-) We really need to pray for our people. We need to stop this black on black crime. We need to love one another and treat eachother with respect. We are all we have and we need to stick together no matter what. Our babies are growing up without fathers and we need to start loving one another. My brother use to say. ” If only he would take the time to get to know that brother he would love that brohter”! :-(
