Written by b87fm on 09/11/2025
The Hip-Hop world found itself tangled in controversy after several rap heavyweights shared their reactions to the shocking death of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. As MAGA world rushed to mourn him — with Donald Trump dropping a fiery video tribute — a few rappers stirred the pot in ways that set off a social media firestorm.

Fif slid onto Instagram with a screenshot from a video of the exact moment Kirk was hit. The entry wound was blurred, but the image was raw enough to ignite his comments section.
“Want to know how I feel about this,” 50 captioned the post. “I don’t know but I do know it’s a good time to shut the f**k up.”
The post was live just long enough to spark outrage before Fif yanked it down. But the damage was already done — Kirk supporters and critics alike dragged him for the move.
Styles P Caught in Crossfire

Meanwhile, The LOX legend Styles P found himself accused of throwing shade at Kirk after posting a flick with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda. The caption — “You be aight!!! We in the mix!!!” — featured Murda’s track “Cam’ron’s Voice,” which famously samples Cam from Paid in Full: “N**as get shot every day, B. He be aight.”*
To many conservatives, the timing looked like a diss. But Styles quickly shut that down.
“Nah that was a genuine mistake,” he clarified. “I was just showing @unclemurda and @tonyyayo that I knew how to throw up a collab post fast … ask them!! The universe tried to line me.”
He doubled down with honesty: “One thing about me… if and when I say something stupid I don’t mind taking ownership for it!!! That was crazy though I must admit!!!”
The Bigger Picture
Kirk’s death has sparked heated takes across political and cultural lines. The conservative commentator built his career off fiery attacks on immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and gun control. To his supporters, he was a fearless truth-teller; to his critics, a provocateur who thrived on division.
Kirk leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two children.
Meanwhile, rappers like Plies and PlaqueBoyMax have also chimed in — adding more fuel to an already polarizing moment where Hip-Hop, politics, and tragedy collided in real time.
A Man Gets Shot & Dies. The Shooter Hasn’t Been Found! The President Of The United States Put Out A Video Says It’s His Opponents Fault!!! Somebody Dies & U Still Cant Keep Politics Out Of It!!! Shit Crazy!!!!
