A couple of months ago, news came out that famed Bronx rapper Tim Dog had died from complications with diabetes. The hip-hop community mourned; but should we have?
There are many people who think Tim faked his own death, and he is still somewhere very alive — so much so, that a Desoto County, Mississippi judge issued a warrant for the rapper.
Sigh, let us explain.
The suspicion started last week when a woman named Esther Pilgrim said that Tim Dog, who is famous for the diss track “Fuck Compton,” faked his own death in order to get out of paying $32,000 dollars he scammed her out of.
(It turns out that rap money slowed up for Tim Dog: the rapper allegedly scammed over two million dollars off of various ladies.)
Steven Jubera, who is a prosecutor with the Desoto County DA’s office, doesn’t believe he’s dead and he went to court with his claim, filing a petition with a judge Tuesday to have Tim Dog’s probation revoked.
Jubera told WREG:
“I need proof,” said Jubera. “I need a death certificate showing that’s he’s dead because as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive.”
Jubera is suspicious, not only because he hasn’t seen a death certificate, but because:
“Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary.”
Also suspicious of Tim Dog’s death is old friend Ced Gee (who produced “Fuck Compton”). Ced refused to speak at Tim’s funeral earlier in the year because no one could produce a death certificate.
We’re not sure what’s going on here, but GlobalGrind is officially on the case: we just copped a few tickets to Cuba to see what it is.
