Aspiring Rapper Arrested in Killing His Promoter - She Was Negative

<snip>

An 18-year-old aspiring rapper from Pittsburg nicknamed "Kanyva" was arrested Monday after he reportedly shot and killed his promoter because she told him he didn't have the talent to sell records, police said.

Juston Michael Potts was booked on suspicion of murder after confessing to shooting Shani Renee Holloway, 31, as she sat in a car with her 23-year-old boyfriend Sunday in Pittsburg, said city police Inspector John Conaty.

Holloway had agreed three months ago to promote Potts' fledgling music career in a "loose business agreement," Conaty said.

"It's kind of senseless, really," Conaty said. "According to both (Potts and Holloway's boyfriend), there wasn't a lot of animosity. It's just that the victim wasn't approaching his career in a positive way. She was negative about his prospects. ... He felt resentment as a result of that."

1. Talent? to sell rap records?

She obviously didn't know what she was talking about.

Remember back in the day when there was an honest to goodness childish immature war going on between East coast and West coast.....gosh those rappers sure are fun to watch die and kill over absolutely nothing, aren't they?

"It's kind of senseless, really," Conaty said.......Ummm..You think???

Man, if I shot everyone who ever said I had no talent thru the last 20 plus years...(insert witty comment here)

4. It has always been my dream to be

a ballerina, or else an Oprah singer. If not that, then a firefighter.

Never you mind that I can't dance and can't sing. Plus I'm 44 years old and 104 pounds and can't even move a step ladder from here to there without messing the whole operation up.

I might be a rock star, except I can't play an instrument very well and can't sing, which I have mentioned.

But I'll shoot anyone who stands in my way and has a negative attitude about my subtle gifts.

edit: Oprah? no, no, I meant opera. But I could also be an Oprah singer. She just hasn't called yet.
