Kidd Creole of the iconic Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five has been found guilty of manslaughter after being convicted of the stabbing of a homeless man in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rapper, real name Nathaniel Glover, was recently found guilty following a conviction of first-degree manslaughter for a stabbing in New York\u2019s Midtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glover began his trial in New York City where, according to ABC\u2019s eyewitness news, the now 62 year old stated he was acting in self-defense when he murdered 55-year-old John Jolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was quoted commenting on the case\u2026 \u201cNathaniel Glover committed a shocking act of violence. \u201cThis conviction makes clear my office will hold people who commit violent crime accountable to the full extent of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rapper, best known for his part in Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five alongside the namesake artist, Melle Mel, Keef Cowboy, and others, claims that he murdered the homeless man after feeling threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors said that Glover became enraged after Jolly had asked him \u201cwhat\u2019s up?\u201d, assuming that the man was gay and trying to hit on him. Glover stabbed Jolly twice in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The murder occurred in August 2017 a little after midnight, while Glover was on his way to his to work in Midtown Manhattan. Glover was employed as a maintenance worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the courtroom proceedings, Glover\u2019s defense claimed that \u201chis fear for his life was reasonable.\u201d Glover\u2019s lawyer, Scottie Celestin, asked the jury: \u201cLadies and gentlemen, this is New York City. It\u2019s 12 o\u2019clock at night. Who\u2019s saying \u2018What\u2019s up?\u2019 to you with good intentions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors argued that Glover had \u201cconfessed to pulling out a kitchen knife and repeatedly thrusting it into the body of a stranger on the street, killing him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWas there anything that would prevent him from simply running away from Mr. Jolly? No,\u201d asked Assistant District Attorney Mark Dahl. Glover is expected to be sentenced next month on May 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
