A Chicago woman says a song by local rappers references the killing of her husband, and she wants police to consider it, according to a CBS Chicago report in May 2021.
Asiah, the widow of Aaron, told CBS Chicago she believes the song and music video include details that match his death. Aaron was killed in August 2020 when someone fired into the back of a home in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. She said she noticed videos online where the rappers discuss the shooting, and that no one else had claimed responsibility.
Asiah said the video shows an alley and a backyard near 75th Street, and that a lyric mentions Aaron by name. She said she hopes the songs can help prosecutors.
The rappers have not been identified by police or charged, and Baller Alert did not find a response from them. CBS Chicago reported that Aaron’s case remains under investigation by Chicago police. The report also noted that using rap lyrics as evidence is controversial, with a Georgetown University free speech expert raising concerns about where that practice could lead.
Lyrics are not proof of a crime, and no one has been accused in Aaron’s death.
