That was the first dead person I ever saw. I was nervous because it was so many people there. It took over an hour for the ambulance to arrive. But he was already gone. That was a chilling day.

There has to be more to the story, how does a person who wasn’t even a citizen of this country get away with such a crime of this nature and how the hell did he get a gun from Jamaica into this country? Also, in New York City, it’s a mandatory jail sentence for carrying and having possession of a gun from another jurisdiction into New York City without proper credentials, as Plaxico Burres found out the hard way. I still have a feeling it wasn’t super cat who actually did the shooting.

Supercat was a resident and the whole situation would be ruled as self-defense. Nitty drew a weapon as well. He did not bring the weapon from Jamaica he would have had a licensed firearm there as well.

I boil all of this down to, Super Cat had to make a sacrifice. You have to do this to move up in the industry. This is what the entertainment business is all about. Two examples that comes to mind is: (1) Snoop Dogg murder case; (2) Jay-Z stabbing Lance “Un” Rivera. It’s Hollywood. This is how they build these characters/actors image and make money off of these things.

I agree. His lawyer would have given reasons for that still. Him being who he is. And threat level

It doesn’t matter if he was licensed in Jamaica for gun.It doesn’t count in NYC.Don’t understand how Cat even got to stay in the US after this.He wasn’t dipped or nothing.I’m speaking from COUNTLESS situations with my own people from Haiti and Jamaica.Family and other Bad Man Gangsters as people say I ran with.Anyway REST IN POWER to the GREAT Nitty Gritty!!!

I thought the same bloody thing. I reckon I've worked out why that is. Summink in the back of my head tells me it weren't him that capped him. Someone else did me thinks only because him being who he is would have been deported and locked up before you can so who goes there

@@rockneybastard You could be right.None of it was making sense.When he went and turned himself in with Lawyer no ICE Detainer or anything.🤔I’ve been heard all these stories since when it happened back then. I also heard a ALLEGED rumor that Nitty joint jammed because Cat had a Guard(Ring)on.Supposedly stated by people close to him.My Jamaican People comment on it.

@@KingShango6 your telling me mate he was my friend back in the days when he was living in London. Always had a drink up and got into some crazy mischief. I didn get along with cat really and trying not to hate the geezer. If I ever bump into him again i would ask him what happened but might just let sleeping dogs lie ya know

I know Nitty family personally and the story is true.

Did you also know Nitty personally as well? If not, who do you know from his family? I wonder if any of them would be willing to share personal stories about Nitty. There's such little coverage of him and yet his music touched so many people!

Salute to Supercat for handling his business.

Umm should talk to Sluggy. Heard it was over a show he put on from a friend who was in NY at the time. He actually did an interview around the time, explaining.

Talk truth! Everybody from ja ghetto you could find there.

My cousin took 5 bullets some place in America in 1985 and at his funeral back in Jamaica two factions drew guns on each other each blaming the other for his death so there is a lot more going on behind the scenes that we don't know about its not just about what took place at the murder scene And to this day no one has been charged with his murder

Nobody. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car crossing a motorway. All the rumours of him being purposely killed (by drug dealers etc) are false.
