WizDaWizard
was on his way up in the Florida rap game
and had a deal with his homie Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang label.
But he was in the streets way before he was in the booth,
and they caught up to him in a brutal way.
From having 100 goons breaking into houses,
to allegedly catching opps in drive-bys,
this is the wild story of WizDaWizard.
Not much is known about Wiz’s early life,
but we do know that he started taking losses in the street at an early age.
In 2016,
his older brother Wajib
was walking down the street in Hallandale Beach Florida
when someone started letting off shots at him and his homie.
Wajib and the other dude took off on foot and tried to escape.
A woman who lived on the street heard them screaming for help
and called 911,
and Wajib and his homie were both rushed to the hospital.
His friend managed to survive getting hit up,
but Wajib tragically died at the hospital.
By the time Wajib was killed,
Wiz was already active in the streets.
Back in 2015,
he was arrested at 17 years old for burglary,
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,
grand theft, and resisting arrest.
According to the police,
Wiz was the leader of a crew
that would break into houses in the middle of the day
and snatch whatever they could carry out.
They were moving crazy in the streets
and would even park their whips in the driveways of the houses they would rob.
Wiz was only 17,
but he was allegedly running a crew of over a hundred goons
who were kicking in doors all over Broward County.
But after Wajib died,
Wiz went even deeper in the trenches.
One year after Wajid was killed,
Wiz allegedly went looking for a dude named Denzell Williams.
According to Williams,
he was walking down the street
and stopped to take a piss on a house -
and that’s when he noticed a black Nissan following him.
He turned around to see who it was,
and he told police that Wiz was in the whip
and upped his strap at him.
Wiz allegedly started letting off shots,
but Williams was able to duck out of the way
and made it out of the situation without getting hit.
After the shooting went down,
Williams went straight to the cops and told them
Wiz was the one who tried to take him out.
According to Williams,
Wiz had been following him in the same whip a few days before,
and wanted to kill him because he thought
he had something to do with Wajib’s death.
Williams was able to pick Wiz out of a photo lineup,
and that’s when Wiz got hit with a charge for attempted murder.
It took years for the case to go to trial,
and the only witness didn’t live long enough to step foot in the courtroom.
Denzell Williams was going to testify against Wiz
and could have helped put him away for decades,
but that’s not how the situation played out.
In August 2020
he was standing outside of his home in Florida
when a shooter pulled up and started letting off shots.
Williams was killed before he could testify,
but tragically he wasn’t the only victim.
His neighbor was a woman named Amber Campbell,
and that morning she had walked over to talk to Williams and pet his dog.
Unfortunately
she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,
and the shooters killed her too.
Williams’ story was the only thing that the court had against Wiz,
so when he got killed they were forced to drop the case
and Wiz dodged the attempted murder charge.
That same year,
he linked up with his homie Kodak Black
and signed to his Sniper Gang label -
and it didn’t take long before his name was buzzing in the industry.
Wiz and Yak was close way before the music.
They met for the first time when they were both locked up in juvy,
and after that it was all love.
I met Kodak in juvenile detention center
long time ago, yeah.
Shit we linked from right there shit,
it been all love ever since.
Wiz signing with Sniper Gang
should have been a huge win for everyone,
but it didn’t take long for the business side of things
to cause a split between Kodak and him.
Apparently Kodak only signed Wiz for $30K,
and the contract is where all the issues started.
I ain’t even know I signed for $30,000
whole time I signed for $30,000
I didn’t even know it.
They went back and forth on social media about it,
and eventually Wiz said
he just wanted to buy himself out of the contract.
Wiz had $100K in cash
ready to hand over and be free,
but apparently Kodak was mad over the whole situation
and had blocked him.
Kodak clapped back and said
“I’m scared of you police ass n****s.”
He also aired out Wiz
for putting everything on social media.
He said they still had mutual homies they could link up through,
but Wiz was just trying to get clout online.
Fans thought the situation was getting heated,
but Wiz hopped on IG Live
and said there wasn’t any real beef
and it was all just business.
But yeah man me and bruh like,
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 just you know
at the end of the day business is business
But before they could squash everything
and get back to making music,
something insane went down that shocked everyone.
Early in the morning on September 17th, 2021,
someone was walking their dog
near an abandoned house in Hallandale Beach.
There hadn’t been any gunshots or anything going off in the night,
which made what they found even more shocking.
Underneath a yellow tarp in front of the house,
the dog walker found WizDaWizard’s dead body.
According to the police,
he had been beaten
and probably died somewhere else
but then the killers dumped his body in his neighborhood.
After the news broke,
a bunch of crazy rumors started flying about his death.
An alleged text message from someone who saw his body went viral,
which led to everyone thinking
Wiz’s head had been cut off
and his body was all chopped up.
The cops never said anything about it though
and it seems like the rumors just got out of hand.
What’s clear though is that somebody really wanted him dead,
and they wanted to send a message too.
Killing him and dropping him off
just a few blocks from where his older brother died
didn’t just happen randomly,
but right now nobody knows who was actually behind the hit.
Most people think it was connected to all of the street beef he had.
Wiz was already terrorizing the city as a teenager
and allegedly ran a massive crew,
and things got even more serious
after his brother died.
It’s not clear if Denzel Williams was actually in the streets or not,
but there’s a chance someone he knew
wanted to get revenge for his death.
Wiz was never convicted of killing him,
but he obviously had a good reason to want him dead.
But the craziest rumor that people are actually running with
is that Kodak Black put the greenlight on his own homie.
A few days after Wiz died,
Kodak was giving a speech
after he donated $20K to the daughter of a police officer
who died from Covid-19.
While he was on stage,
Yak mourned the loss 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
and he got a beautiful baby girl too
so it’s like you know it’s crazy uhm
dealing with losing loved ones
and stuff like that it’s hard.
Like I been dealing with loss my whole life.
Back then it seemed like he was really taking it hard,
but fans thought it was weird
when he dropped the track Back for Everything and rapped
“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.”
Dissing his own dead homie was wild,
but the rumors about Yak being involved with Wiz’s death
really started spreading
when he hopped on the track Silent Hill with Kendrick Lamar and said
“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?’”
There’s no proof that Yak had anything to do with Wiz’s death though,
and after it went down
he even tried squashing the beef with his artist Jackboy.
Jackboy and Kodak had been beefing for over a year
over some money issues,
but when Wiz died Kodak tweeted
“Let’s Use this As a Wakeup Call @Jackboy ..
Shit Get Real Krazy Real Kwik Out Here,
Unexpectedly!
& Fuck This Distance Love N****
Come Give Me a Hug N****.”
Unfortunately it didn’t work out though,
and Jackboy said
I would put up 2 Million right now
to fight Yak in the ring
on some Jake Paul shit
that man ain’t gone do that
what the fuck.
Kodak might have issues with some of the dudes on his label over money,
but it doesn’t seem likely that he would have put the greenlight on WizDaWizard,
They had known each other for a decade
and were tight outside of the rap game,
so Kodak having him killed just doesn’t make sense.
Wiz was on his way up in the rap game
and was racking up millions of streams,
but he was allegedly still in the streets too
and that’s probably what caught up to him.
Unfortunately he never had the chance to blow up like Kodak
and leave all of the drama behind,
and Florida lost another talented young artist when he died.
