Tampa Bay rapper Ace NH was supposedly going to have a typical night of recording music on Thursday (November 19), but evidently he had other plans.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, Ace — born Billy Bennett Adams III — was arrested on November 21 on two counts of premeditated first-degree murder charges after allegedly killing two individuals he went to his backyard shed-turned-studio with only two days prior.
The Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office confirmed the two victims traveled with Adams to the makeshift studio before a “violent execution” took place shortly before midnight on Thursday near an University of South Florida off-campus student community.
Deputies say the 23-year-old rapper shot the two individuals and then fled in a vehicle. Police arrived at the gruesome scene about five minutes following the gunshots and declared the victims dead upon arrival. Law enforcement believes the incident to be gang-related, considering Ace isn’t shy about his Crip affiliations.
“Although the attack was clearly targeted, we will not allow gang-related disputes to disrupt the comfort and safety of innocent residents in any of our communities,” Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister relayed to the Tampa Bay Times. “It is clear that this suspect had no regard for human life, and now he will face the consequences for his actions.”
Ace already released two projects this year including Life Goes On and October’s Paint Tha City, both of which are available on streaming services. He worked to support his rap dreams as a salesman at a local Finish Line and is currently being held without bail.

No justice, no peace! (Unless it’s another black man that murders us. Then it’s cool.) Say his name!
These dudes have terrible haircuts
Anyone who would want to be a rapper today is a moron for real
Only dumb people and high school dropouts want to be rappers in today’s time! Young folks are brain dead!!!!
Black lives matter fam!!! I’m waiting to find the racist white police stemming from 400 yrs of bakery in this incident!! Oh wait, there is none and just another black on black homicide?!
seems like the brother was doing what the boss wanted him to do. can’t argue with that. now the brother could be in prison the rest of his life fuck that.
I hate reading about this bull shit! Fucking idiot. Hip hop is trash now!!!!!!!! I have no remorse for a murderer.
life at finish line or 3 hots n a cot
live well o g
rather take that realism out on real enemies but thats how the world is
How do you pronounce ACH NH? LOL. Also, I’m pretty sure that pic of him and his boys flagging and throwing up signs is all a DA needs. These youngsters with their bullshit social media banging. BLM yo!
Good its florida give his ass the death sentence?
These young rappers are clowns and not worthy of the attention they get. Non rapping fake gangsters. These rappers are not part of the elements of hip hop!
He ain’t a rapper…he’s a murderer. Another black on black thing again. BLM are strangely silent. They only appear if the murder was committed by someone of a different colour. At the start of the year I said a few rappers would end up in prison. I said a few would get killed. I wasn’t wrong.
BLM appears when a black person gets murdered on video and the person that murders them gets away…..the killer is going to jail in this situation
This shouldn’t be posted on this site. This site never posted anything about this “rapper” so why post something now. This is not news. Save it for the local news
This is now news you say? Then you follow up with save it for the local news? I don’t understand is it news or not? And why you acting like a bitch two men lost there lives and all you think about is the correct outlet to speak on
It’s not hip hop news
Bye bye, enjoy the rest of you’re life in jail.. STOOPID
Isn’t that the death penalty
He must’ve really hated their verses.
im in tears lmfao
crips in florida…riiight. But thats besides the point…this is another bozo doing bozo shit. For someone else saying BLM is quiet…I don’t think BLM would be able to sustain if they had to cover all this senseless killing that goes on within the black community to be honest.
BLM is specifically against law enforcement unlawfully racial profiling or killing minorities. There is no mainstream outspoken group against black on black crime other than victims families. Beef in the streets is different. Law is to serve n protect. Criminals will be criminals unfortunately.
Yeah guy, we know what it’s about- that’s why people make fun of it. You’re worried about fifteen criminals that were killed by cops in all of 2019, while ignoring the thousands that died at the hands of other black men over the same time period. A black man is more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a cop in the US (don’t believe me? Run the numbers). You wanna know how NOT to die at the hands of police? Don’t commit felonies. And if you do, and you get caught, comply with officers. How about… Take some responsibility before burning another city down. You absolute tards.
You sound like a got damn fool you devil!
Well, that’s one way to get out of paying for features.
When his manager said he wanted studio hits I don’t think he meant it literally.
