R.I.P. Chris Lighty

why is this dude living in the bronx? riverdale is ok...but if im a millionair im not living there,so the financial struggles part dont seem far off.

i hope he had some cash laying around somewhere,cause his fam & kids ain,t gonna get shit after he just voided any life insurance policies he might have had
 
RIP

The IRS be eating folks alive with taxes, I wonder what type of accountant the Bros. had, I wonder are these cats trusting these other folks with their finances.
 
Damn. I had a lot of respect for dude's hustle. I have a hard time believing that someone with the connections and resources that he had access to would off himself over a tax bill or a brawd.

All the riches in the world can't save you from yourself.

RIP
 
some kats never bounce back from divorce,, they say he got divorced about a year ago & was never himself after that,, supposedly had an argument with ex wifey before offing himself
 
Sad man...

I still don't see how you kill yourself when you have young kids but i won't judge.

My prayers go out to his seed(s).

My cuz once said "the music Biz is evil and i don't use the word evil lightly"

thought he was exaggerating...15 yrs later Im starting to get what he was saying...
 
RIP Good Brother!

Damn R.I.P. Here they are in seemingly happier times.

I don't begrudge a man for going out on his own terms.

Life is a struggle regardless of your status.

But unless you're dealing with a painful and terminal illness, you don't off yourself especially when you have young seeds depending on your guidance.

My mother was just diagnosed with brain cancer and had to go into an operation last week. I guess all that religion she follows worked for something cuz she approached it like a champ and came out well with no malignant symptoms.

If Lighty did in fact off himself for something as petty as financial reasons with all the resources he has at his disposal, fuck him.

Save your sympathy for his kids.

Great to hear, Met. Send her best wishes from the BGOL fam' here. That's great to hear. Positive approach!

good to hear that kinfolk
 
All the money and fame in the world can't buy your soul back. A lot of these music industry cats did not get where they are by happenstance. They had to sell their souls to get the money and fame. On the outside things look glamorous, but behind the lights these cats are hurting. RIP to Chris Lighty. Never forget the numerous times I kicked it in Atlanta at the infamous Gold Club with Lighty and Irv Gotti back in the day before the fame. Blessings to his family.
 
unless it was something really serious or life-threatening, killing yourself over tax problems and a divorce is really idiotic, so I hope that that wasn't the cause of his suicide. So I'll save my sympathy for someone else.

best wishes to you and your family. I hope she pulls through. I remember my mother was sick, but she didn't make it.:(
 
homie was 5 milli in the hole with the IRS and he had problems with the wifey real tuff
but its just crazy how he blasted himself tho:smh:
wow, rip:(
violater records was that ish in the 90's:smh:
 
Just got off the phone, talking to a friend about how the industry, money and a women can destroy you. May he now rest in peace. Very Sad.
 
Where exactly would you live? Riverdale has multimillion dollar apartments.
He is also FROM the Bronx.

Maybe he wanted to stay close to his roots.


Funny if I ever made millions I would move BACK to the Bronx.

Keep a low profile.

Re: Hip-hop manager Chris Lighty dead after shooting himself amid argument with ex-wi

If this is true I am sorry but dude is a bitch ass nigga.
You off yourself over a female and you have kids?
I really dont believe that story though.

RIP.... To a Legend.

Beware the news is quick to spread bullshit before all the facts are in. This business is shady and when these newspapers report things like this they don't check the facts. It's all alleged and then the people start spreading it as "truths"

Hopefully his family is looking into this and not taking the police or the wife's word for it.



RIP CL.




C/S!!!

R.I.P. Chris...
 
Y'all niggas hating a man b/c he killed himself is really crazy.

Why are y'all MAD?

Why the anger?

It seems like y'all jealous or something.

The dude had a mental illness or a severe lapse.
 
I don't understand it, but it's really not for me to understand

I'm sure it's more to the story

RIP
 
I heard from an insider that his debt was actually closer to 20 million but only 5 million was IRS debt. He said he owed his wife a few million, the street a few million and a few million on personal debt.
