Jam Master Jay’s Alleged Killer
Once Arrested For Shooting
Run-DMC DJ’s Nephew
Jam Master Jay‘s
nephew was allegedly shot by one of his uncle’s accused of killers less than a year after the Run-DMC DJ was gunned down.
The allegation was re-entered into evidence as part of the case against Karl Jordan,Jr., who was arrested in 2020 for shooting Jam Master Jay’s nephew Rod- ney “Little Dee” Jones. Ac- cording to Billboard, at the time of Jordan’s arrest, Jones identified him as the gunman who had shot him in the leg on Hollis Ave in May 2003.
However, Karl Jordan was eventually released due to a lack of cooperation from his victim. New court documents indicate that federal prosecu- tors believe the reason behind Jones’ shooting was that he had recorded a song identify- ing his uncle’s killers, VLAD TV reports.
In addition to the shooting,

Kanye West Apologizes For George Floyd Comments, Says Adidas Spat Humbled Him
Kanye West has offered an apology to the family of George Floyd after saying that Floyd died from fentanyl, and not from the physical force of Minneapolis police officers. Last Friday (October 28), West said he was sorry for these comments while sur- rounded by paparazzi, per Consequence.
“When I see that video as a Black person, it hurts my feel- ings,” West said. “And I know that police do attack [sic] and that America is generally racist. And I understand that when we got to say Black Lives Matter, the idea of it made us feel good together as a people. Now, afterwards there was some things where the money went in order to push us to the Democratic vote.”
West went on to say that because Adidas ended its busi- ness relationship with him, he

“As to Adidas, you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel, and acces- sories immediately,” the mes- sage read. “As to Gap, the non-compete expires Decem- ber 15, 2022. You own the Yeezy name and all the trade- marks associated with Yeezy.”
