Street rappers unfortunately get killed all the time,
but what’s going down in Florida right now is wild.
Kodak Black’s homie Syko Bob
got the tragic news that his own mother was shot and killed,
and today we’re breaking down the shocking beef
that has opps sliding on each other’s moms.
Syko Bob came up in Broward County, Florida.
Not much is known about his early life,
but he’s allegedly been in the trenches since he was a kid.
He’s been dropping music videos since 2018,
but he never really popped off in the industry
even with help from his homie Kodak
and that’s why he’s allegedly still been active in the streets.
Before we get into the shocking and tragic news
about Syko’s mom being killed this week,
let's dive into how the situation got so crazy.
It’s not exactly clear how it all started,
but rumors say it involves another Florida rapper named HMT Tray and his mom.
Back in 2021,
a woman named Misty Hopkins was walking back to work at her nail salon.
It was around lunchtime on a Friday
and Misty was on the phone with a friend while she headed to the shop.
That’s when a dude in a black hoodie rolled up on her.
The friend Misty was talking to heard her say
“Wow, oh, you scared me.
What are you here for?”
That’s when the dude upped his strap,
and the last thing Misty’s friend heard was the shots going off through the phone.
It was a brutal murder that went down in broad daylight
and it was clear from the jump that Misty was definitely the target.
She wasn’t robbed after the shooter killed her,
which showed everyone that the only goal was to take her out.
Misty was loved by everyone in the community
and didn’t have any enemies,
but it’s a different story when it comes to her son HMT Tray.
He’s from a hood that has issues with Syko and his people -
and a month after Misty was killed
someone tried to take out Syko.
Syko and two homies were driving down the road
when a black BMW pulled up on them and started letting off shots.
Whoever was driving the whip Syko was in tried to floor it and smash off,
but they ended up crashing into some other cars and stopped.
That’s when the BMW rolled up again and the dudes inside let off more shots.
Someone in Syko’s whip shot back and the BMW drove off -
but that wasn’t the end of the story.
In August 2021,
HMT Tray and his homie Liberia Sig linked up for the track FTO
and Liberia took shots at Kodak and his homie Wizdawizard
when he rapped
“He a dead n****
What the fuck I look like beefin’ with a red n****?
Get up on his ass,
aim it at his head, n****”
and “Choppa knock him out his element
Them n****s bitches,
they protected by the president
And I got proof
They know we spinnin’ so they slime bulletproof
And talkin’ magic make you disappear like ‘poof’
Catch that famous ass n**** and them hangin’ out that roof.”
Then just a couple weeks later,
things took a brutal turn.
On September 17th, 2021,
someone was walking their dog in Hallandale Beach
around where Wizdawizard grew up.
When they passed by an abandoned house
they noticed something laying under a yellow tarp in the front yard,
and underneath it was the body of Wizdawizard.
According to the police,
he had been beaten to death and probably dropped off at the house later.
It was already a crazy situation,
but then a text leaked from someone who allegedly saw the body
and rumors started flying that Wizdawizard’s head was cut off
and his body was chopped up into pieces.
Wiz’s murder never got solved,
but he had all kinds of enemies in the streets.
By the time he was 17,
the police claim Wiz was runnin a crew of over a hundred dudes
who were kicking in doors and robbing homes all over the county.
He got booked on burglary, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,
grand theft, and resisting arrest back in 2015
then one year later the opps caught his brother Wajid on the street
and killed him.
After Wiz came back home
the first thing he wanted was to get payback for his brother
and he started hunting down a dude named Denzel Williams.
Williams told the police that one night he was walking down the street
and noticed a black Nissan following him.
He turned around and saw Wiz in the car,
and that’s when Wiz started letting off shots.
Williams made it out alive and went to the police.
He said that Wiz thought he was involved with Wajid’s death
and had been following him a few days before that too.
There’s a good chance that Wiz would have been locked up after the trial,
but the case fell apart after the only witness turned up dead.
In August 2020,
Denzel Williams was standing outside of his house with his dog.
A woman named Amber Campbell who lived next to him came over to pet the dog
and they started talking -
and that’s when a shooter rolled through and started letting off shots.
Denzel and Amber were both killed
and the case against Wizdawizard got dropped.
Rumors say that Wiz was killed as getback for Williams,
but it turns out the situation might be way crazier than that
and tie right into Syko Bob’s mom being murdered
and could even involve Kodak himself.
Wiz and Kodak met for the first time when they were both in Juvy.
I met Kodak in juvenile detention center
long time ago.
They was tight from the jump,
and after Wiz had his attempted murder charge dropped when Williams was killed,
Kodak signed Wiz to his Sniper Gang Label.
Linking up with Kodak in the rap game was huge for him.
Wiz had the opportunity to make it out of the streets and get some legit money,
but issues behind the scenes came out almost immediately.
Yak only gave Wiz 30 racks when he signed to Sniper Gang
and Wiz wasn’t happy about it.
They started arguing on social media about the situation
and everything got messy.
Wiz said he wanted to buy out his contract
and said he had $100K that he was ready to give Yak.
Wiz even told his fans that Yak had blocked him.
Kodak obviously wasn’t rocking with how he was handling things.
He dissed Wiz for airing their business out on social media
and said they still had homies they could link through but Wiz was just clout chasing.
They was obviously having some major issues,
but Wiz went Live on IG
and tried to claim there wasn't no real problems.
According to him
Me and bruh that’s my nigga tho
man we ain’t in no crazy shit man
like I said if it was that deep we would’ve fought.
It ain’t no crazy shit
it’s just you know at the end of the day business is business.
but it turns out that the beef might have been so serious
that Yak sent hitters after his own homie.
We’ll take a look at how Kodak is allegedly linked to all of it in a second though.
Less than a week later,
a video came out showing Syko Bob getting into it with someone inside a mall.
According to reports
it was HMT Tray who was clowning Syko over his homie WizDaWizard’s death.
That’s when Syko clapped back and dissed Tray’s dead mom.
Ever since Wiz died
there's been rumors HMT Tray and his homies were involved,
but some people think Kodak had him killed
and it’s all connected to another brutal murder that went down this year.
On March 28th,
the police responded to a call about an SUV on fire at around six in the morning.
According to news sources,
there was an explosion in the street
and that’s when everyone in the neighborhood looked outside
and saw the whip completely on fire.
Firefighters showed up to put it out,
and that’s when the situation took a shocking turn.
Inside the backseat was a body that got shot multiple times
and burned so badly that they couldn’t even tell if it was a man or woman.
Plus there was an empty gas can laying right next to the SUV
so everyone knew it was a hit and not an accident.
The body inside was a rapper named 26 CeeJay.
CeeJay had been dropping music since 2020
and rumors say he signed a deal with Kodak just a few months before he died.
But after allegedly signing with him,
CeeJay hopped on social media
and said he was gon air out everyone who’s been playing internet games
and not keeping their business in the streets.
He aint call out Yak by name,
but Ceejay threw a subliminal at him
by saying he wasn’t gon beef with anyone who got shot and never got their getback..
Then he tagged Syko Bob and said
“First @sykobob_1st now me.
U still want him.. Or what? ..
let’s not get to messy.”
Some people think Ceejay was talking about the time Syko got hit up on the highway,
but he could have been referencing the gun charge Syko got booked on last year.
The cops pulled him over for speeding and smelled weed in the car,
and when they searched inside they found a loaded strap between the seats.
It sounded like Ceejay wanted to expose Yak for something
but was killed before he got the chance,
and it probably involves WizdaWizard too.
After Wiz died,
Kodak gave a speech after donating $20K to the daughter of a cop
who died from Covid-19.
During the event he talked about Wiz and said
You know I just lost a friend.
A very close friend for like
we've been friends for like over 10 years
I just lost him yesterday.
What made the situation really sketchy though
is when Yak dropped the track Back for Everything and rapped
“Yeah, double M gang,
but I ain’t talkin’ Rick Ross
double M gang,
I took that shit from Wiz
Rest in peace my n****,
but it’s his fault
The way you let them kill you like a jit
Talkin’ to Wam, you sayin’ the same,
did you like a lame.”
Sending a shot at his dead homie was crazy,
then Yak added fuel to the rumors he was involved with Wiz’s death
when he hopped on Kendrick Lamar’s track Silent Hill and rapped
“I caught a bale off a Google app
I’m the type to get my shooter whacked
I had to survive off a tuna pack
Five percent tint on the whip like,
‘who was that?’”
WizDaWizard and Ceejay were homies
and Ceejay released one of their collab tracks after Wiz died,
but according to rumors
Kodak paid Ceejay to snake his own homie.
After Ceejay died,
the opps dissed him but also posted pics of WizdaWizard and said
“Long live @wizdawizard.”
Wiz’s cousin Wam Spinthabin hopped online too and said
“n**** played with wiz & got set on fire.
Couple more of you fuck n***s finna get the same treatment.”
It’s not clear how Syko Bob was involved with any of the beef
between Yak and his other homies,
but now he’s dealing with his own tragic loss.
A few days ago,
the news broke that his mom Dorothy Smart
was shot and killed while she was sitting in her van at her house.
Just like HMT Tray’s mom Misty,
this looks like it was a targeted hit and not an accident.
Someone rolled up on her and started letting off shots in the middle of the day,
and so far the police have no idea who pulled the trigger.
After the news broke,
HMT Tray’s homie ebkhatch
posted Syko Bob’s track Step Daddy on Instagram and wrote
“I heard a lady was bout 50 got hit up wit dem switchesssss.”
Step Daddy is a diss track aimed at Liberia Sig
where Syko claimed he was hooking up with his mom.
Syko also talked about Sig’s mom on social media
and said he can’t diss him while his own mom is hooking up with him.
A nigga can go fuck
a big baby momma
old lady whatever
you can’t top a nigga fucking yo momma
I don’t care what you do
you can do 1,000 gangster shits a nigga fucked yo momma
why can’t you beat that
that’s yo momma you came out that coochie boy
Right now nobody has any idea who murdered Syko’s mom or why,
but the situation in Florida that’s going down right now
might be the craziest wave of violence in rap history.
Most street rappers just beef with the opps,
but now mothers are being brought into it
and tragically losing their lives too.
Kodak hasn’t spoken on the situation at all,
but everything going on with his homies beefing with each other
and dying in brutal ways is real sketchy.
There’s nothing directly tying him into it all,
but at some point the truth about all of this
will definitely come out and we’ll know for sure.
