Brazilian Rapper MC Daleste Shot & Killed During Live Performance

    Brazilian Rapper MC Daleste has died after being shot in the abdomen on Saturday (July 6) night.

    Daleste, real name Daniel Pellegrine, was performing in the city of Campinas when a bullet struck him, reports Billboard.

    The rapper fell back “in a sitting position” before others came to his aid.

    Daleste was performing at a public housing building in the neighborhood of San Martin.

    He died early Sunday after being brought to a nearby hospital.

    No information has been released regarding suspects or arrests at this time.

    MC Daleste was described as being part of the “Ostentatious Funk” scene, centered in Sao Paulo. The music is described as “a bling-obsessed and violent brand of Rap over looped beats.”

    “This is one more sad event in a long history of urban violence in Brazil,” said Sao Paulo native Béco Dranoff, a New York-based deejay and producer. “Music should be the peaceful medium that connects us all for good times and for change.”

    Footage of the shooting was captured. Campinas police told Brazilian Media that the videos are the focus of the investigation.

    Daleste was 20 years old.

    HipHopDX extends its condolences to the family and friends of MC Daleste.

    UPDATE: Reacting to the weekend tragedy G1 News spoke to MC Daleste’s father, Roland Pellegrine. XXLMag.com translated the interview. “[My son’s murder was motivated by] envy. Jealousy kills,” Pellegrine said, describing the 20-year-old as “a very good boy, a charismatic boy, docile. He had no enemies.” To those enemies, Roland crowns his child, “My son was the king of Funk.”

    2. I’m from Brasil and man DX is late , this happened 2 days ago . and another thing , he was not a rapper , he sang funk , right here is another style of music . #RIP

      1. “DX is late this happened 2 days ago”

        who the fuck cares he lucky he even got this article as no one ever heard of him

    3. i’m not going to any concerts or games in BRAZIL uh ever
      oh i never intended to anyway
      they are ready to kill over there

    4. Ain’t NEVER post no music though…why post now? What’s the AGENDA? Why you care now? What do you want to suggestively tell these clowns you cater to while they fuck the site up DAILY…

      Rap is violent? Because it’s BEEN ill out there in Brazil, and since that Olympic money is coming, it’s bananas. What’s the point HHDX? Your intentions are looking suspect right now.

      1. couldnt have said it better. more propaganda focusing on anybody who already had hood ties that just happened to rap but got shot from the hood ties. stop making it look like rap is culprit!!!

      2. I’m saying, hhdx looked at the hit map before they posted this. If they wanted a real conversation it would be in the editorial or interview section.

        Again, don’t think they ain’t catering to their core demographic right now.

    5. ever since silva got knocked out niggas in brazil been wildin out actin all crazy n shit smh

    6. RAPPER? Seriously? He was no rapper, far from that. That faggot (sorry homos) deserved to die, he did nothing but dumb down people spreading disease with his lameass “funk”. Seriously, Your IQ drops just from listening to that crap. Holy shit, DJ Lah from Conexo do morro (A REAL ARTIST from hip-hop scene) was shot and killed not long ago and that was barely known. Jesus fucking christ, people are ignorant. I get mad at reading these sensationalist news… Get some knowledge people.

      1. shut up, DJ Lah was great, and Daleste was only a good kid trying to do his work. Don’t remember him as this, remember him as an 20 young boy dat have his dreams shattered

      2. “Good kid trying to do his work”. Yeah, right. While who study and work hard to get a little bit more than a mininum wage of R$680 (300$) are constantly screwed. And remember, everything here is insanely more expensive than a country with better conditions of living.

        How do you figure what people think and act here? Especially the ones who are influenced by this shit? You think they want to work hard to get their stuff? This ain’t ‘murica homie. People are not used how to live in the capitalism system.

        You should come to Brazil and see how fucked up are people here, you think they are “xenial” like the media and the own people try to disseminate? Wrong. They are just egocentric and obnoxious people, which given the opportunity will stab you the back.

        I’ve seen news about some robbers who killed a colombian 5 years old because he was screaming for mercy and didn’t want to die, while he was holding his mother. What did he get? A bullet in the head.

        What about the dentist who was burned alive because she didn’t have enough money?

        Oh! in 2007, 4 robbers jacked a car leaving the driver/mother in the road. A 6 years old was stuck outside the car by the belt and was dragged through 7km (4,6 miles), people yelled trying to warn the robbers, they stopped? They didn’t give a fuck. And guess what, one of them had 16 years old, he served 3 years by “socialeducative” measures. FYI: he was arrested again in 2012 by unlawful possession of firearm, drug dealing, active and passive bribery.

        And the list won’t stop growing…
        I must inform you, all these motherfuckers are influenced by the kinds of music that this “kid” used to sing.

        What’s amusing about these facts, is that people don’t give a fuck about them. They weren’t their “idol”. Oh, and these same people cry desiring the death of those who speaks bad about this “kid”. Ironic, isn’t it?

        I hope you don’t listen to mainstream crap, because your argument would be invalid.

    7. indapendant woman by neyo 1 in a million by neyo wonder who the “neyos” are trying to get at hmm lol ot ohh ott ohh no no.back forthh

    8. they should do that with lil wayne, rick ross, 50 cent, kanye west those faggots. we dont them. we need real hiphop

    9. I always say this, if you rap or say something enough, it will come back to you. People should really analyze what they say because knuckle heads in the streets will try you…and you may wake up dead.

    10. the video clip on youtube was shocking!!! Imagine that when you go like I do in concert front raw, and that shit happen in front of your eyes? fucking bad R.I.P. to this young rapper 🙁

    11. Respect for a fallen soul…
      but a serious HipHop(DX.com) media is not supposed to call “rapper” somebody who ain’t be anything related to Rap.
      I feel pretty embarassed for that.
      Rest in peace, bless…

    12. USA’s “stop snitchin” policy reaching the third world now? Nigga was shot at HIS OWN FUCKING SHOW and nobody can say who’s the shooter
