In a dramatic turn of events, Chicago rapper Q50 has publicly admitted he did not 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 teenagers Monterio Williams, known as Monty, and Robert Boston, aka Lil Rob, reversing previous claims of involvement in their deaths. The shocking revelation comes after a year-long investigation into the double homicide that took place on January 26, 2024, when both boys were shot and 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed near their school during a lunch break. The case stunned the local community and garnered significant media attention, especially given Q50’s prior bragging about the shootings in his lyrics and on social media.
Following his arrest, Q50 underwent a transformation, converting to Islam while in jail. Sources indicate that during police questioning, he denied any role in the shootings and may have even assisted authorities in identifying the actual perpetrators. This shift has raised questions about his loyalty to his late friend Lil Jeff, who was believed to be the mastermind behind the attack before his death in June 2024.
Recent developments have seen the Chicago Police Department arrest two suspects in connection with the murders: Tommy Coleman, known as T Slick, and James Allison, referred to as J Mo. Both face multiple charges, including first-degree murder. Court documents revealed that J Mo had attended the same school as the victims and allegedly provided crucial information that aided in the planning of the attack.
The investigation has shed light on the violent culture surrounding Chicago’s drill rap scene, where rivalries often escalate into real-life confrontations. Despite Q50’s claims of innocence, his past associations with Lil Jeff and their shared history of violent lyrics have left many skeptical. As the case unfolds, Q50’s future in both the legal system and the music industry remains uncertain, with fans divided over his recent admissions and ongoing reputation for violence.
