Kidd Creole Found Guilty of Manslaughter
Rap pioneer Kidd Creole was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter for stabbing a homeless man to death more than four years ago. The artist whose legal name is Nathaniel Glover was an original member of landmark hip-hop collective Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. He had lived a much quieter life in recent years, working at a copy shop and living alone in a small apartment in the Bronx, NY.
His descent into made-for-tabloid infamy unfolded on August 1, 2017, when he encountered John Jolly, a 55-year-old homeless man, on the street in midtown Manhattan. He was on his way to work when he had a run-in with Jolly. Glover stabbed Jolly, who died at the hospital shortly thereafter. The next day, New York City police arrested Glover and charged him with second-degree murder.
Glover is scheduled to be sentenced on May 4. He faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.
