The Kidd Creole was a part of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. He was a part of the golden age of hip-hop. He is 61 years old, and now he may spend the rest of his life in the iron college after he was convicted of stabbing a homeless man in 2017. His brother is Melle Mel.
He was convicted of stabbing John Jolly in 2017.
The 62-year-old rapper, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, was convicted of first-degree manslaughter, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., said in a statement.
The killing happened in 2017, when, prosecutors say, Glover fatally stabbed John Jolly, 55, with a steak knife after the two exchanged words.
The victim was a homeless man. |
Prior to his arrest, Glover was living in Mount Hope in The Bronx. He was working as a handyman and security guard in Midtown Manhattan.
He was arrested in 1982 for firearm possession and another time in 1995. He was arrested in 2007 in possession for holding a knife.
Glover’s attorney argued that Glover acted in self-defense, The Associated Press reported. Bragg told jurors that Glover stabbed Jolly in anger because he thought Jolly was hitting on him.
