According to Instagram's @teamshabbaofficial, he dubbed himself as the alleged murderer. Mstarz.com stated this to be a hoax however! 

Even raging Instagram followers raided French's comments with accusations about an illuminati affiliation with Chinx being the sacrifice. 

While it was just days ago that the Streets of NY and the rap game were hit pretty hard with the news about the up and coming artist, many seek reasoning for his death. 

Officials say, 31-year-old rapper Lionel "Chinx Drugz" Pickens was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Queens, New York. The rapper was pronounced dead shortly after at the Jamaica Hospital. 

Artists including French Montana, Meek Mill, P Diddy and many more were left devastated by the news. 

While many sent condolences via social media, not even a precise number of characters could portray the amount of love that the industry and fans had for this artist. 

Chinx's music will live on through various mixtapes including his series of Cocaine Riots, and numerous features. 

The Cokeboy rapper is survived by wife Janelli Pickens and many close friends and family. 

Although this is a tough time for the rap community Meek Mill, Travis Scott, and others decided to pay their respects with a tribute song. 

Take a listen to the heart-felt track here:

Maybach Music Group Rapper Meek Mill, Ordered To Prison After Parole Violation

Days after rapper Meek Mill kicked off a social media family feud with his fellow label-mate Wale, he was hit with some rough news in the courtroom that even his big ego couldn't fix.

On July 11, Meek Mill was ordered by a Philadelphia judge to three to six months in jail after violating his parole as a result of a drug and gun conviction back in 2008. The cause behind all this still seems to be unclear but the local DA states that he was "worried about his behavior while on probation."

The rising rapper's dreams have quickly turned into nightmares. This ordeal comes as a shock as he just recently announced the September 9 release date for his sophomore album titled Dreams Worth More Than Money.

But not to worry because Maybach Music Group head honcho, Rick Ross, has got it all under control. The rapper released a written statement to MTV on July 12 in regards to Meek Mill's legal troubles, and how MMG will continue Meek's mission as planned.

"I created MMG years ago, my desire was to create a space where the most talented artists in the world could be nurtured and supported. With that came a commitment. I vowed to support these artist, through the good and the bad. Every individual signed to MMG is not just an artist, they are my family. And with family you ride, or you die. Yesterday, my brother, Meek Mill ran into some unfortunate legal issues. It happens. However, his team, our team, will continue to execute Meek’s plan as close to schedule as possible."

As a result of the sentence, Meek Mill's upcoming shows and projects have been cancelled/postponed. As far as the album, Rick Ross tells MTV that it is still coming and asks fans to continue showing Meek Mill love and support.

"We ask that the fans and the media continue to support him and his music during this time. He’ll be home soon. ‘Dreams Are Worth More Than Money,’ and family is worth more than Everything.  MMG FOR LIFE"

Hey readers! Do you think Meek Mill should have kept a lower profile in the industry while on probation? Why or why not?
