(AllHipHop News) Upcoming rapper Doe B, real name Glenn Thomas, has been killed. He was 22.
The details are sketchy, but initial reports are that the emerging rapper was killed by gunfire.
T.I., who signed Doe B broke the news on Instagram.
“RIP to my lil brother Doe B. We gon miss u my n####. U’ll never be forgotten & U WILL NOT DIE IN VAIN. We Love U champ. Always. Just rest now my n####….WE GOT IT From here,” Tip posted.
Doe B, a native of Montgomery, Alabama, was shot in the eye approximately three years ago and saw his career burgeon as he found a new dedication to his craft. After working with local talents, he then got the attention of T.I. who signed the young rapper for his credibility as well as his way with words.
Early reports suggest that he was performing in a club in his hometown when he was shot. Apparently another woman, 21-year-old Kim Johnson, was killed as well.
Doe B also performed earlier this year at a celebration for AllHipHop’s 15th Anniversary.
We send our condolences to his family and friends.
AllHipHop’s first and final interview with Doe B is below.
Somebody done messed up. LOL! Diamond from Crime Mob is not the woman claiming that SB is her baby daddy. The rumors be all wrong sometimes. The rumors that I go said just that, but nobody really made the distinction. Soulja Boy just likes women named Diamond. Anyway, I knew something was strange when there were reports that Diamond was on welfare. Now, I know times are hard, but not that damn hard.
The folks over at TMZ are letting it go though. Here are the pics of the woman with the 5 year old son that is allegedly SB’s.

Khloe Kardashian might be literally divorced from Lamar Odom but she’s still reeling from the emotional pain that her relationship caused. She posted the following message on Twitter that could very well be a shot:
Raised in Jamaica Queens, New York, Focus The Truth spent two years recording/producing tracks and music videos in London, UK. MC’ing since the age of fourteen, Focus learned the power of lyrics and how they can be used to deliver a message, rather than present largely untrue tales to reinforce stereotypes.
What sets you apart from other Hip Hop artists?
Focus The Truth My unique selling proposition is my versatility. My music is international in scope. In addition, I have the flow and smooth voice to rap over all kinds of beats. Also I’m well educated. I have a BA in English and an MBA. My street poetry is something that grows on you more and more. I am not aiming to make just one hit and bank off of that. Rather, I am striving for greatness.
Who is your target market?
Focus The Truth I market my music towards the college circuit. I’m targeting “Hip-hop heads”ages 17-40. My music appeals to those who truly appreciate the way Hip-hop used to be. Hip-hop fans who enjoy lyricism and poetry like my music. Being from Queens, I also have that street feel a lot of Hip-hop fans look for. You can put me in the same lane as a J. Cole, Kendrick more or less.
What single or project are you currently pushing?
Focus The Truth The Project I am currently pushing is my street album called “Berwick Road.” The whole project is banging. The feedback has been incredible. If we get fans to listen to the whole project there is a very high chance they will fall in love with it. The current single off of the project is “City of Angels.”
Who does your production?
Focus The Truth I work a lot with the producer Smoking Indoors from London. He does a majority of my production. I also work with some other talented producers. One is Kamo from France. He has produced some hot tracks like City of Angels and Sweet Disaster. Also, Isyss from London has produced some bangers for me. I am open to work with anyone with talent.
Which artists have inspired you and What is the philosophy by which you live by?
Focus The Truth Artists who have inspired and influenced me are Nas, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Notorious BIG,Raekwon, Lauren Hill, Pusha-T, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$, Freddie Gibbs, Kendrick, and Wiz Khalifa. And my philosophy is “Stay true to yourself and keep your circle tight.”
A West Side, Chicago man hired friends to kill his mother so that he could gain access to more than $90,000 from her bank accounts as well as funds from two of her life insurance policies, reports the Chicago Tribune.

All three offenders were ordered held without bail.
An 8-year-old boy discovered p### on what was supposed to be a brand new Nintendo DSi.
Tom Mayhew, the kid’s father, told Hampton, Virginia’s WAVY TV that his son and some other children discovered the photos on the gaming system when he was playing with it Christmas morning.
“It was a shocker because we had family here, and there were a lot of kids here,” Mayhew told the station. “The kids were the ones that discovered those pictures.”
Mayhew said he bought the Nintendo at Walmart on Dec. 23 but the 12 pornographic images dated back to early December. Mayhew’s theory is that someone previously bought the device, put p### on it, and then returned it. However, when he bouthg the device, he was under the impression that it was new.
So far, Walmart has not returned inquiries about how this mix up could have happened.
