Gillie Da Kid Reveals Identity Of His Son's Killer: 'He Got Murdered [Too]'

Gillie Da Kid has revealed that his son’s killer was a 17-year-old man named Noah Scurry, who was also a drill rapper called JokerOTV.

In a lengthy and revealing interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, the Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-host opened up about the 2023 murder of his son Devin Spady, aka YNG Cheese.

During the conversation, Sharpe asked Gillie if he had met his son’s killer, to which he gave a surprising answer: “I’ve never met him. Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered.

“The kid had just got shot 17 times. He was walking with his mom and he got murdered. And then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.”

He added: “He had to deal with God, that’s how I look at it.”

When Sharpe later brought up Scurry’s recent shooting death, unaware of the connection, an astonished Gillie replied: “That’s who killed my son… Yeah, the 17-year-old basketnall player that just got shot 17 times, that’s who killed my son.”

Scurry’s death, which occurred in Philadelphia last month, made national news as he was a high school basketball star and a straight-A student. The teen was killed during a shooting while on his way to school with his mother.

Police have yet to comment on if there is any relation between the two shootings, although Gillie believes they were unconnected.

“It wasn’t for my son,” he told Sharpe. “Those blocks are beefing. My son just happened to pull up, [he was] out there [for] five minutes. They come to shoot the block up. My son’s not from that block; he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

When Sharpe expressed dismay at Scurry being involved in a fatal shooting when he was a promising athlete, Gillie pushed back: “You don’t understand. He got videos out where he got a Joker mask on, bunch of guns in his hand. These kids are influenced by all the wrong things.”

The former rapper also opened up about his attempts to get YNG Cheese out of the streets, saying: “I’m not gonna sugarcoat shit. I was struggling with my son, trying to get him off the streets. We didn’t have the best relationship when he passed because he wanted to be a street n-gga and I didn’t believe in that shit. I didn’t subscribe to that shit.”

Gillie previously discussed the moment he had to wash his son’s dead body as part of an Islamic burial ritual.

“The worst time had to be when I had to wash his body,” he said on The Pivot Podcast. “But it was also the best because I became a man that day. I was a little-ass boy up to that point. I thought I was a man because I did man shit — I paid bills, I took care of my family.”

“It was a gift and a curse,” he continued. “It was a good thing and a bad thing because it was a very painful thing to see your son laying there, cold and stiff, but I know I sent him off right, y’know what I mean, and in Islam, that’s a big thing — sending them off right.”
