Gillie Da Kid has been mourning the loss of his son YNG Cheese for over a year now. This week, he revealed that he learned who the killer was, the recently slain teenage basketball player Noah Scurry.
The Million Dollaz Worth Of Game host appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay fresh off of his Philadelphia Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX. At one point, they discussed Scurry and how athletes with high potential used to get “protected.” That’s when Gillie offered the shocking information about his son’s connection to the drill rapper.
“That’s who killed my son,” he said. Sharpe and Gillie sat in silence before the NFL Hall Of Famer asked for more details. “Yeah,” Gillie added. “The 17-year-old basketball player that just got shot 17 times, that’s who killed my son.”
Shannon Sharpe asked what caused Noah Scurry to kill YNG Cheese, and Gillie Da Kid clarified that the bullets weren’t intended for him. “Them blocks is beefin’,” he said. “They going through it. My son just so happened to pull up, out there five minutes. They come to shoot the block up. My son’s not from that block […] he just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s how deep it is.”
Sharpe was bewildered at the fact Scurry had the potential to make something of himself but chose to engage in that dangerous lifestyle. Gillie informed him that Scurry was a rapper who put his lifestyle on full display. “He got videos with a joker mask on,” he said. “Bunch of guns in his hand. These kids is influenced by all the wrong things. The sh*t that don’t matter. The sh*t that, once upon a time when I was growing up in the ghetto, I was influenced by.”
He informed the Nightcap host of how poor the area is, to the point where just driving 45 minutes to Atlantic City was viewed as a vacation for people in those Philly neighborhoods. “These kids don’t know no better,” Gillie added. “These kids actually think that you can’t make it as a rapper unless you killed somebody. Unless you did something out here in these streets. This is the mindset.”
Noah Scurry, who went by JokerOTV, was known for his academic excellence, boasting the highest SAT score at his school. He released his first track on Jan. 13 and was shot and killed in front of his home the next day. Gillie also informed Shannon Sharpe that the police told him they were “close” to arresting and charging Scurry for killing YNG Cheese back in 2023, though it is unclear why that did not happen.
