Hip-hop journalists and fans of Eric B. and Rakim were up in arms when the rumors of Eric B. being killed surfaced. About a week ago the word was that Eric B. was shot and killed at a barbershop in New Jersey. But now Eric B. has surfaced to debunk the false statements.
The rumor started on the web but went into full swing when gossip queen Wendy Williams went on the air to talk about it. Even though she did say that the sources were not credible, many in the world of hip-hop began to worry. But we can all breathe a sigh of relief because Eric is alive and well.
“The only way I am going to go is by having a heart attack while I am out with my grand kids,” Eric B. told AllHipHop.com. “I want to thank everyone for their concern. You never really know how you have impacted people until some sort of crisis.”
