Rumors on the net are spreading like wildfire that rapper Husalah has been stabbed in prison and is possibly dead. At this moment there is no confirmation from any reliable source concerning Husalah’s current status. Starcasm will update as more information is known.
Husalah’s anxious fans have been scouring the ‘net to find the truth after websites like The Purple Cuffs reported, without citing sources, that Husalah has passed away. However, the Jacka, who has collaborated with Husalah, tweeted that the reports that Husalah is dead are lies. Is this another internet death rumor like the one that circulated yesterday about Jeff Goldblum?
The Purple Cuffs reported today:
HUSALAH THE RAPPER WAS STABBED 6 TIMES IN A FEDERAL PRISON LAST NIGHT.HE WAS ANNOUNCED DEAD AT 6:35AM THIS MORNING.
Husalah, who’s MySpace states his real name as James Ratliff while Discogs.com lists his real name as Bob James, is from the Bay Area, and his hometown is Pittsburgh, California. In his early career, he was part of C-Bo’s Mob Figaz. At the time the rumors started, Husalah was serving time in a prison in San Pedro, California. No one is sure why Husalah was sentenced, but many believe his charges involved drugs and/or probation violation. Husalah has a distinctive, gritty sound that has inspired many devoted fans.
****UPDATE 2/30/09 – I tracked down a couple messages on Mistah F.A.B.’s twitter account that suggest Husalah is not dead. (Still no confirmation though) Here are the tweets:
