King Tut

According to AllHipHop.com, 730 Dipset rapper Darnell “King Tut” Brittingham committed suicide yesterday, after an intense stand-off with police.

After the 23 year-old rapper just got released from jail last month on drug charges (police found him with a cocaine-filled teddy bear), he posted the following on his myspace.com profile:

“730 Dips all day…I’m 23…I just did a four and half year bid, I’m fresh off, I just got off four weeks ago.”

New Jersey police were searching for him yesterday for allegedly stabbing a female companion.

When police finally located him entering a cab in upstate New York, they surrounded the vehicle and ordered for him to get out.

That is when King Tut apparently ducked down and shot himself.

Your thoughts?

  • BrownQtee says:

    Went out like a g?? .. If thats the mentality us black folks have nowadays – we all F*#%ed. Damn shame..

  • Roshunda says:

    This is sad, I’m still in shock at this whole situation. Darnell and I dated back in highschool, and it’s crazy b/c I was just talkin about this dude last week, and now this week to have to hear this news. My heart and prayers go out to his pops and family “King Tut” you will be forever missed.

  • greens wifey says:

    Wow that is real crazy. U never know what is goin to happen in life and how you are going to leave this life. I prey that his family gets threw this hard time god bless his soul

  • C. Khid says:

    Yeah that’s crazy

    Sad only God can’t judge you in this lifetime

    that would have saved that woman and his man’s life assumingly….. his fear of prison probably lead him to stab her.. .and once caught… killed himself…….

    you can say a result of his own actions but at the same time, its more to it than that when you look at this big picture

  • L0'renz says:

    Damn now thats gangsta, lets see if 50, Ricky Ross or Jim Jones can do that…

  • BrownQtee… How do you know he’s black? I know plenty of people who think like that. They’re all different races.

    I’m mostly trippin that this dude didn’t know about facebook or twitter. Myspace is a desert right now.

    I had a friend do something similar and well didn’t change my opinion of him… Just wished I could’ve helped him out more.

  • WOW says:

    Com’on people something is wrong on this scenario, who will duck down to kill himself? hehehe those cops shot him, that’s for sho…

    &&&&& anyways what sad news

  • That Girl says:

    Sickening!

  • playa made mexkin says:

    he went out like a real g

  • Alex C says:

    The really sad thing is that He died with out Jesus in his heart. According to the Bible his soul is in Hell. Suicide is self murder and murderers do not inherit the Kingdom of God. He thought that this was an escape but instead He is now being tortured by demons for all eternity. It is necessary to live for Christ which gives us peace and eternal life so that we will not be fooled by the devil to take our own lives and therefore lose our souls. Receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior today and avoid being fooled by satan like this poor soul.

    Ask Jesus to forgive your sins and enter your hearts today.

    God bless you all.

  • YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SAY “ALLEGEDLY” SHOT HIMSELF.

  • Well WOW. To some people going out instantly is better than a lifetime or however long of torment or whatever.

    Alex leave that religious stuff off of here.

    1. Bible and other religious correspondence are subject for individual interpritation.

    2. You don’t know the man or what he went through. Furthermore your not god. God only needs commentary and translations by authorized people on sundays at church… It’s thursday, step down from the E pedastal.

    3. Don’t put god’s name in your bullshit. If your going to be crazy, do it by your damn self, like some of the people on here lol.

    chuuch

  • Alex C says:

    Rick.

    Not talking about God and the Bible is what leads people to take their lives, because of the lack of understanding of how the spiritual world functions. God has given us instructions in his word the bible and when we seek our own paths to life it will always end in destructions, like this young man’s life. Jesus came to give us eternal life and abundant life, had he accepted this offer he would be alive right now and a productive member of society. It’s O.K. to make absurd comments like “He went out like a real G” but when someone mentions the truth of God’s word which is the solution to all problems. People like yourself say this shouldn’t be allowed. You don’t represent everybody’s opinion, this is an open forum. Your comment can’t help anybody and only serves to be a stumbling block to others yet there are people suffering and at the verge of taking their own life and I want to tell them that Jesus is the solution to all their inner pain.

    God bless,

    Alex C.

    Jesus Freaks Make Me Sick. I Dont Care If You Eat A Bowl Of Bibles For Breakfast NI99A, It Doesnt Mean Youre Any Better Than Anyone Who Isnt Into It. When You Say That “God Is The Only Way”, And Statements Of The Like, Its Condescending To Those Who Dont Believe. Holla At Ya Ninja

  • Alex C says:

    Chazmunny,

    If you are a real tough guy and aint scared of anything visit:
    http://www.freecdtracts.com

    And listen to many true stories of people who have died and have come back to talk about their experience in Hell. Listen for yourself and you will discover that Jesus is the only way. You want the proof or you want to continue living a lie and discover that Jesus is the only way when it’s to late..

  • elouette says:

    dude had JUST got out of jail on a 4+ year bid, i guess he said he aint goin’ back. he was a good rapper too, check his myspace. /kingtutdastreets I think it is…

    i was just kickin’ it in his presence during the tour. i think no differently because of this and i didn’t even know him. he was troubled i guess. everything probably happened so fast. i hope god can forgive his soul…

  • CHAZMUNNY says:

  • Real Talk says:

    “Going out like a G” would have been him getting out of the car and blasting some pigs, like Queen L in set it off, not committing suicide.

  • Jack Da Rippa says:

    He went out like a G? Sorry to say if your perception of committing sucide rather then get arrested is considered gangster maybe you a punk. When your that scared to get locked up again for your actions by shotting yourself is punking out like a b*tch. A real man faces his charges for his actions and deals with it. Sorry not to get religious but Jesus was a G. He got whipped, forced to walk in pain carrying the same cross they used to nail him to and they had to kill him to take him out. When you gotta shot yourself cause your scared to go back to jail, shows your fears. Its a sad situation, yet Im tired of these people saying King Tut went out like a G, he was a victim of the ghetto hood mentality he couldn’t grow out of.

  • Jack Da Rippa says:

    The problem is too many wanna be thugs, run around acting all hard and act out like they crazy. Yet they aren’t responsible for their own actions sorta like little kids. Be a man and be like “whatever yeah i did it, I faces the consequences.” Maybe if he were a Samuri and followed the bushido code “death before dishonor’ then yeah cut your stomach open and face your death, but your corner in a cab and your only resort is shooting yourself in the head cause you scared to go back to jail. Maybe he shouldn’t have been acted up and just went straight with his life. Too many guys wanna be thugs, but none want to be responsible dad’s or husbands, spending their time and cash on bling bling,fancy rims and Nike sneakers that cost $108,yet cost $1.50 to make in China. When they could invest that cash in a 401K, college education, or trust fund. Why cause they brainwashed in the HOOD to act like modern day slaves!! Stressin’ cause Rick Ross and 5o cent don’t go out like King Tut…Rick Ross and 50 are rich, drive nice cars in big homes, migle with white people and only rep the hood for street cred for their next album. While you sleepin’ in the projects stressin they new mixtape on who’s the best lyrically, they in their big homes checking with their accountant on their finances, working on a new music video with rented models, rented cars, rented jewelry at a rented Mansion!! Sadly King Tut became the sad reminder of the thrue reality of things!

  • Jack Da Rippa says:

    Try spending more time in the library then trying to learn the new “stanky leg dance on 106 and park”

    RIP..King Tut

  • star da el says:

    fuck king tut, if he didn’t give a damn about his own life (drugs, stabbing,suicide, etc.,) why tha hell are yall arguing about it? It’s about survival of tha fittest in this world, not God, not tha white mans education or any of that other shit you guys are arguing about, if he couldn’t handle tha heat he put himself i’m sorry 2 say fuck him.
