Dumbass Who Rapped About Shooting a Man Gets 20 Years
Thursday, November 20th, 2008In a classic case of When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong, an Atlanta rapper shot a man twice and wrote a song bragging about it. “Ask Chad Blue, he knows how I shoot,” rapped 25-year old Rico Todriquez Wright after shooting one Chad Blue. A judge sentenced Todriquez Wright Monday to spend the next 20 years in jail.
Chad Blue, meanwhile, testified to police that he knew Wright before the shooting, but that they weren’t exactly friends. Blue claims that Rico’s friends egged him on to the shooting.
“I heard one of the men tell Rico, ‘go ahead and shoot him’,†Blue testified in August. “When he raised his gun I knew I had to run, but I knew if I ran a straight line, I was dead. So I started weaving, running between houses, trying to avoid the bullets.”
According to the Dublin Courier Herald, Rico Todriquez Wright shot his victim in the thigh and the groin in September 2006 and recorded a song about the incident. The idiot was sentenced to 20 years for two counts of aggravated assault. He will spend another 20 years on probation.
