Detroit born rapper Paid Will of rap collective BandGang is no more. As news of his death spread on Twitter, rappers around the country including his home state are mourning his death. The news began spreading like wildfire over the Internet shortly after midnight on Monday, November 30 and though there has been no official statement from family or representatives of Paid Will, those close to him appear to have confirmed the tragic news. A cause of death too hasn't been determined yet, but a number of people mourning his loss have mentioned that he was 'shot dead'.
Paid Will was known for albums like 'Untouchable', 'The Family', and 'WDW'. The 27-year-old artist's Twitter account boasted of an odd 20k followers. Paid Will was one of the top artists emerging from Michigan. His estimated net worth according to Idol Net Worth is $134 million. However, there are contrasting reports about this detail about the late rapper and another outlet pegged his net worth between $1-5 million.
Paid Will was not very active on Twitter, however, he used Instagram to engage with his fans and share titbits from his career and personal life on his page with his fans. His last update was on Thanksgiving Day, a photo of himself flexing on his fans and haters alike, showing off his blingy watch and shoes. "I can count the money with a blindfold. I can count a hunnit with a blindfold. 200 on a dash hard to drive slow. Never been a lick u can try doe. This chain I got on you’ll die fo," he wrote in the caption. His fans and fellow rappers are now using his post to pay their respects.
Shredgang Mone who collaborated with Paid Will on 'Top Shottas' wrote, "Yu ain’t right bro no cap how yu gone do is like this." Artist Crash Rarri and Paid Will joined hands for 'Blue Hunnits', the former was in utter disbelief after news spread and he commented, "Picc up the phone bro, this shit can’t be true!" while NYC rapper Boogz Boogetz wrote, “DETROIT LEGEND SMH RIP.”
Paid Will’s death comes right after the news of fellow Bandgang member Jizzle P. He was an up and coming member of the group and was murdered in Detroit in the last week of September. According to Inquisitr, outlet Click on Detroit reported that the artist, whose real name was Aaron Mays, was shot and killed while sitting in a car on the city’s west side.
The report stated, Mays was talking to his mother when someone ran up and began shooting at the 25-year-old. His mother Senekua Mays said she was not able to see the person who rained bullets at her son.“I couldn’t see his face at all the fire from the gun it was just too…” his mother said. “I’m going to be strong for him. That’s why. He don’t want me to cry, he don’t want me to mourn — and he don’t want to be on a t-shirt.”
