Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

The Queens home was hit with bullets late Weds.

NYPD confirmed that the Queens home of rapper Tony Yayo's mother was sprayed with bullets Wednesday evening. Yayo's sister told the New York Daily News, "I think they did it to send a message, but we are innocent people. Either me or my daughter could have been dead." Twelve bullets penetrated the front door and a picture window, but Yayo's sister and two-year-old niece were upstairs at the time of the shooting. As reported yesterday by VIBE, Yayo's lawyers were scheduled to make a statement on the matter, but later said they would give no comment. Yayo is scheduled to appear in court April 25 for charges related to the alleged assault of Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond's 14-year-old son.

But for the grace of God. We all need to think about those few words because God is no respector of man but we too quickly forget from whence we came and our lowly beginnings. I am not here to judge or comdemn that is not my job, but as part of the black community and society as a whole it is my place to tell you that we all need to be held accountable for our actions. I am glad that yayo's family was not harmed but it goes to show a perpetual cycle that has been going on for too long in our community..."I will get you back syndrome". We have replaced love with ignorance, and violence and made our commuinities unsafe. Yayo my advice to you, is to reflect and rememeber that bad company corrupts good character. Also remember when your wealth and fame fades who will really be there to have your back and stop letting others ride on your coat-tail.

I think this is just another karma"what goes around comes around"yayo did some foul shit to a little 14yr old child. This is just what we call fighting fire with fire. Sometimes this is the best way to handle certain situations.

Ya see why I said is this what the Black Community is about?? Is this the way that the NEW GENERATION is about to take over the future, guns & violence and the get backs??? Alot of the new gen is so confused about the way LIFE is supposed to be. Just because your ass is mad doesn't mean you have to KILL somebody cause yo ass is mad. How much more should we as human beings be taking because this is just too much to handle, got little punks walking around with guns to make them feel like MEN or something!!! I bet you this, if you take that gun off that "little boy" I bet underneath all that you just might find a "lil Bit#!" Cause alot of these killings is bit^& Sh@# anyway, Killing only cause you have a "GUN" Take away the guns and the lil boys will turn to MEN one way or the other, meaning either you start building a future now or build a grave site big enough to be buried in because at the rate of this violence escalating that's all that's going to be left, build a future or funeral the choice is yours!!!!!!!!

My prayers go out to Yayo's sister neice and mother. Some idiot out there is punk enough to go and shoot up his ma's crib and one or maybe even all of the black sistahs in the home at the time could have been hit. I hope Yayo's ass is getting his reality check right now and not just one from g-Unit. When you comin' up as an artist like you are, I know the media and all them fools wanna market an image. You gotta think about your family in the real world. Now that you so down with G-Unit, I hope that they provide protection for your family when all of this beef shit is popular in the streets.

Love and peace (It's needed)!
