Rock of Heltah Skeltah Arrested for Attempted Murder

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  50 Comments

Rock, one half of Duck Down Records duo Heltah Skeltah with his partner Sean Price, was arrested on Tuesday (January 15) on a charge of attempted murder in the second degree. The rapper’s attorney, Kenneth J. Montgomery, released a statement to Hot 97 News Director Miss Info explaining that his client stands accused of shooting a man in the neck on a Brooklyn street and causing paralysis. Rock, whose real name is Jamal Bush, has been formally arraigned on the attempted murder count and related charges. Mr. Montgomery notes that the victim in the case is a known pimp and member of the Bloods street gang. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office has also accused Rock of being a pimp himself, and claim that the alleged incident occurred during a dispute over a prostitute. “Mr. Bush categorically and unequivocally denies all of these allegations and we will fight vigorously to prove his innocence,” Montgomery told XXLMag.com. Rock is due in court on January 18.

  • dsread

    All I can say is wow this looks really bad guess that’s what happens when the checks stop coming. Sean Price now has a competitor for borkeist rapper alive if this proves true.

  • flipbeats

    it sad that a emcee get caught in a mess like this, we know the story shit get tought and back the hood mentally of getting paper but on the back burner you about come back out and be blow up again with sean p. and im a big boot camp fan that alway goes and buy the cd’s. cause once duck down you duck down for life. wish you the best and come out good from the situation. and ps decept is they , real ny family from bk ,not crip- jurek learn your history

  • b-ease

    If the dude he shot really is a pimp AND a blood, somebody should give Rock a fucking medal. The less of those dumb fucks on the street, the better.

    If Rock is a pimp too, and this is over a female, I can only shake my head…

  • RL

    It’s the survival of the illest on these streets. In B-More we have the so called “bloods and crips” and it doesn’t matter that they’re impressionable copy cat kids. Many of these impressionable copy cat kids are murdering other men, women, and children in cold blood. That makes it real enough for me. Damn, two men will lose their lives over a ho?

  • Rednose pit bull

  • kasino300

    I feel like these dudes was hot and had potential but the recored labels screwed them out of moneys and exploited them. And instead of them going back to regular lives and getting jobs to support there families they choose to hustle and be in the streets. Hold your head rocknus monster.

  • Vicious Seiger

    Damn shame to hear this about Rock but, once again another brother clearly makes a stupid mistake and for this to be over a hoe that makes it even worse. Still, I haven’t heard this guy since the compilation GAME OVER II. What in the hell is happening to the old school (relatively just turning old school). I hope he didn’t do it but if he did I can easily say goodbye to a Heltah Skeltah reunion Album.
