Kidd Creole, an original member of rap trailblazers Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five has been arrested after he allegedly stabbed a homeless man to death!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Oh man, this is such a bummer. Kidd Creole \u2014 real name Nathaniel Glover \u2014 has been arrested by New York City Police and charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed a homeless man to death on Aug. 1. Cops say that the 57-year-old stabbed John Jolly twice in the chest after the guy allegedly called the rap legend a gay slur. He later died after being taken to Bellevue Hospital. Kidd was an original member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, who pioneered rap and hip hop back in 1982 with their iconic hit song \u201cThe Message\u201d and album by the same name. The tune featured the now legendary drop, \u201cDon\u2019t push me \u2019cause I\u2019m close to the edge. I\u2019m trying not to lose my head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">The New York Daily News reported that the 55-year-old victim may have been drunk when he hurled the slur at Glover shortly before midnight when the two got into a heated argument. The incident went down near a building where the hip hop legend currently works as a handyman and security guard. \u201cThey had no prior relationship,\u201d a source told the paper. \u201cThey had words. Things got out of hand. It was some sort of diss.\u201d Police later used surveillance tape to identify the former rap great and arrested him on Aug. 2. In a \u201cperp walk\u201d for the media, he was seen in a blue jail jumpsuit with the hair on his balding head already gray, a sign of how much time has passed since he was at the top of the music game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Glover was a founding member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, who first got together in 1976 in the South Bronx with Grandmaster being the DJ and the five other guys rapping. They hit it big in 1982 with \u201cThe Message.\u201d which was later named one of the 500 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, ranking at a proud 51. The group later became the first hip hop act to be into inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0http:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2017\/08\/03\/kidd-creole-arrested-murder-stabbing-nathaniel-glover-grandmaster-flash-furious-five\/<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/celebrities\/rapper-kidd-creole-charged-murder-allegedly-stabbing-homeless-man.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well this is some disturbing news.
