R.I.P. to this brotha! Now somethin' just seems off wit this story. Why would he commit suicide? Stress? Depression? Really? He was very successful, He had his kids to live for let alone. I just don't buy the story. Finacial problems? Well mostly everybody has financial problems, owes bills, dealing wit the irs. I highly doubt that was te issue. It's people that owe debt far worst than what he may have owed. I'm just sayin'! The music industry is a shady business and it's a lot of shady mothafuckas in it. Some people wouldn't believe what's goin' on.....Being involved wit the industry and having a close ear to it and the people that I know, I find and have found out a lot of fucked up shit and people are dying over it. All I can say is that there are truly some evil things and evil individuals at work and they are working over time. .02
It happened to me last year...I finally got over it when I saw her kinda recently...she still seems a lil depressed but @ least she's still alive...I do not blame myself tho...I was barely a single sprinkle on the shitload of problems/issues she had
He is not the 1st person w/ kids to kill himself he damn sure won't be the last...this is why I rarely feel sorry for suicide "victims" (barring having severe mental issues or a terminal illness/disease)...it's the most selfish fuckin thing someone can do imo...

This bitch is shallow as fuck.
A person can have the world and still off themselves. See Kurt Cobain.
There are professional killers but was Lighty that important?
Peace to all that wished my mom the best.
He owed more than he was making. Probably because he didn't adapt his lifestyle to his financial situation. Too many people here think if a guy made 20 mill one year he's getting that every year after that. Nobody killed this dude. He probably blew through alot of money. The problem is the pepole you mention don't need him no more and none of them are really on top anymore either.
Alot of ppl don't know this, but Baby Chris was a real street dude with a notorious reputation back in the day. The Violators was a street crew that caused alot of beefs in the Bronx, and brought that ruckus to manhattan by strong arming dudes. He was there when Scott La Rock was killed, and may have been somewhat responsible for his death. When streets cats like him reach the ranks of being highly successful entrepanuers in the entertainment biz, it's becuz they damn near sold their soul to get there. Alot of favors owed. And when you're no longer a commodity to the powers that be who put you in your position, then you will get either exposed or extinguished. You know shit is real when they are not only eliminating black male entertainers, but our bllack male executives as well. It's not in a modern black mans soul to want to stay a slave. Eventually he will reach his boiling point and rebel. And when that happens, he's dealt with swiftly and severely. RIP Baby Chris, and Shake Stewart.
whoa.
Heavy drop.
I thought D-nice trying to holla at some bitch was the incident that took Scott-la-Rock from us?!?
Yeah me too.. Heard he got hit over near Soundview

That Tuesday night, 16-year-old crew member D-Nice was caught in the Highbridge neighborhood in the Bronx fooling around with someone else’s girl. The angry boyfriend pulled a gun on D, and, with the help of some friends, roughed him up pretty good.
The following afternoon, Scott, KRS, Just Ice, their manager Scott Morris and bodyguard Darrell (a.k.a. “The Original Robocop”) were breaking bread at McDonald’s on the corner of Broadway and 71st Street. They had just finalized a deal for BDP to produce Just Ice’s Kool And Deadly album.
“I suggested to Kris that we go get some weed and celebrate in Brooklyn,” Just Ice remembers. “Scott never smoked like that, so he was like ‘Nah, I’m not fuckin’ with y’all, you’re just gonna get high.’”
As the meal came to a close, Scott got a call on his antique-school, $2-a-minute cell phone. It was D-Nice, explaining his predicament. A father-figure to D, Scott didn’t hesitate in offering to go up to the Bronx and handle the situation.
“You can’t have someone doing that to the youngest member of Boogie Down Productions,” says Lighty flatly. “That just don’t make no sense.”
Scott called Lighty and the Violators for muscle. The crews met at a rendezvous point in the South Bronx. Scott, Darrel and Scotty Morris drove to Highbridge in a red drop-top Jeep. D-Nice and the Violators rolled in a second car just behind them.
It was mid-evening by the time the two cars arrived at University Avenue, between 165th and 166th Street. Though D-Nice’s assailant was not to be found, his crew was hanging out on the block. Darrel jumped out of the jeep and grabbed up the first two kids he could reach, smacking them in the mouth. Playing good cop, Scott came over and clamed things down.
“It seemed like it was mellow,” says Lighty. “Well, as mellow as some kids that just got smacked up can be. Then [Scott and Darrel] were walking back to the car, and gunfire starts—from the ground level, and it seemed like from a couple of levels up too.”
The Violators leapt out of their car to return fire, giving Scott and Darrel the cover to reach the Jeep. Moments later, two .22 caliber bullets ripped though the Jeep’s rag top. Sitting in the back seat, Scott was hit once in the neck and once behind the ear.
Scotty Morris and Darrel started the car immediately, but Highbridge’s narrow streets and the chaos of the incident made getting off the block nearly impossible. (“It kinda jams up the block when people are shooting at you,” says Lighty.) Finally, after winding their way through several back streets, they made it to Lincoln Memorial Hospital and carried Scott into the emergency room. He was admitted at 11:15 p.m., bleeding profusely and speaking incoherently.
Lighty and the Violators arrived 15 or 20 minutes later, unaware of who had been hit. “When we got there and saw him,” says Lighty, “it was like watching your own father pass away.”

For some reason I feel like dude was trying to get shorty to let him stay wit her... and she said no... prolly said a bunch of other foul things as well.. facing being homeless maybe that was the last straw...
Lots of different possibilities... dunno why he would kill himself on his basement patio... also didn't leave no suicide note and he had kids is extra messed up... who knows tho...
FYI Feeling depressed + Alcohol + Access to gun ... it ain't THAT hard to pull the trigger

from what's being posted I find it kinda hard to believe he commit suicide. Dude seemed like he wasn't soft or the type of person that would fold, to make it on the streets and the music business (which most everyone compares to the street), then fold over a chick_ while still having young children, makes me believe there's definitely some other shit goin on here....
Sounds like a episode of Law & Order

here are some quotes from his wife.
“We had a passionate relationship. We fought all the time,” she added.
“I had filed for divorce last year, but retracted it” two days before Father’s Day, she said. “That was my gift to him.”
His widow would only say, “Chris had a lot of weight on his shoulders.”
“My husband was obsessed and adored me,” she said. “He was one of the most beautiful people that I have ever met in my life.

He said it himself as it was quoted in his obit in the NY Times:"I got my MBA in hell", straight out of Bronx River pjs.
Have been hearing a little of this & that from around the area & through friends of friends of friends but hopefully it all pans out in any thorough investigations done.
My dude also pulled my coat & said that he already made a major dent in paying off that tax bill as he apparently had very little more left to pay.
That ScottLaRock article brought it BACK as that was my fam's old neighborhood in Morrisana & nursing school where he passed.
RedAlert left WBLS know on Sunday that it was way too early for any interview or feedback from him on the matter.

I always wanted to know the whole story behind Scott's death. All I knew was that it involved D Nice and a girl.

Take it for what its worth...this one is making the rounds:
Shocking News Exclusive: New details days after Chris Lighty’s death.
Allegedly the late Chris Lighty is expecting a baby.
Due to the nature of this news we were asked to withhold some information and names and we agreed.
Chris Lighty was expecting a baby and it was not from his wife Veronica. Veronica was aware of the pregnancy and the other female. She didn’t want to she him happy. Their marriage was not repairable.
The female that is pregnant by the late Chris Lighty name is (withheld) but she works in the industry and is an assistant to another powerful hip hop mogul.
Chris Lighty’s death devastated his family friends and the hip hop world. Some people still question if it was murder or suicide even after the medical examiner ruled it as suicide.
Veronica spoke out and immediately blamed his suicide on finance but we hear that he was depressed and she played a big part of his depression.
Our prayers go out to the Lighty family.
