Hip-hop artist Gillie Da Kid revealed on a podcast that his son Devin Spady was shot and killed by up-and-coming basketball player Noah Scurry, who himself was fatally shot in January. “The 17-year-old basketball player who got shot 17 times? That’s who killed my son,” he said during an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast. Show host Shannon Sharpe, who had mentioned Scurry’s death while discussing gun violence in Philadelphia, was left briefly stunned. “The police called me and told me once he was murdered,” Gillie said, adding that the police told him they were about to arrest Scully, “But he got murdered first.” Gillie’s son Spady, 25, a rapper who went by YNG Cheese, was shot and killed in June 2023 in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood. Gillie said that the bullets weren’t meant for him. Scurry was shot and killed outside his home in Philadelphia last month shortly after releasing his first solo drill song.
