RIP Chris Lightly

Hip-hop mogul Chris Lightly was found dead outside of his South Riverdale Bronx home this morning of a gun shot wound to the head.  Police on the scene also recovered a gun next to the body.


As of now, reports are classifying this as a suicide but there have been no reports on any left behind letters or notes that might explain why.  There was a divorced filed between he and his wife, Veronica last year so they were separated.  There are also speculations that he was facing financial issues as he owed the IRS $5 million in unpaid taxes.  But sources close to the couple say Veronica and Lightly had gotten into a huge argument when Lightly came to their house with moving vans to pick up his belongings.  They believe he must have left for home after that to shoot himself.


Lightly was the long time manager of star celebrities like 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, and Missy Elliot, to name a few.  He also owned Violator's record label.


He always seemed to have a smile on his face and he left behind a lot of friends in the industry who will seem to miss him dearly.  I hope we can find some true explanations behind this tragedy.


  
Lightly was 44 when he died.
Rest. In. Paradise.
