Chicago rapper Edai was reportedly shot and killed either late Saturday night (July 31) or in the wee hours of Sunday morning (August 1). According to SayCheese TV, he was shot multiple times in the back and rushed to the University of Chicago Hospital where he died.
Edai is often credited for helping pioneer the Chicago drill scene alongside fellow Chi-Town rapper Chief Keef. He first emerged in 2012 thanks to the success of his song “Gucci.” Edai then established his own label Team 600 ENT and released his solo album Came From Nothing in February 2014.
Another Chicago rapper, King Hittz, took his grief to his Instagram Stories with several posts about Edai’s death, seemingly confirming the news.
Meanwhile, the mother of late Chicago rapper FBG Duck took her outrage to social media shortly after learning of Edai’s death.
“EVERYBODY GOTTA DIEEEEEE DAMNN NORMALIZE GROWIN UP N BEING A GRANDDADDY TO YALL KIDS CHILDREN,” she wrote in all caps. “TELL THEM HOW U SURVIVED THE TRENCHES SO THEY CAN WANT BETTER @koopa600 U GOOD NO MORE WORRIES NOR PAIN FOR GOD WAS READY FOR HIS CHILD BACK.”
Edai’s death adds to the rapidly growing list of rappers who have died by gun violence in 2020 and 2021. Beginning with Pop Smoke’s murder in February 2020, there have been at least a dozen killings over the last several months.
Ice Cube + 2Pac Affiliate Gonzoe Dead At 45
Most recently, 2Pac and Ice Cube affiliate Gonzoe was gunned down in Seattle over the weekend, while local rappers such as Indian Red Boy, Boog The Bandit and Hot Boy Ju all died this year after being shot.
Edai’s shared his last Instagram post just three days ago in which he promised to keep delivering “the hottest shit in America.” The post included a clip of his latest video “Bedrock.”

BLM ✊?
Stop worrying about black issues if you are not black, dick.
Ever heard the phrase “know thy enemy”?
You filthy, ugly, stupid subhuman chimps are America’s biggest domestic terrorists, and it’s time for you to all be exterminated.
We’re coming.
No one is afraid of whites anymore. No one is afraid of the embodiment of evil anymore. Look around. You’re being replaced. Now, go march in Walmart khakis with lawn tiki torches and cry that no one listens to you while you plot to blow up a school to get attention, you dick.
I’ve put down 17 of you chimps so far in my life. Completely legally.
Can’t wait for this race war to start. Shoot chimps on sight.
It’s going to be GLORIOUS haha!
Hey, I’m white and just wanted to say fuck you and your entire family tree. Black lives matter, bitch.
Clearly you’re white. Go away. No one cares about your opinion if you’re not black or an Uncle Tom.
I’m soooo surprised…. says nobody ever, Where’s the outrage from the Burn Loot Murder movement?!!! Hahahahahhahaaa
You’re a white troll who wants to belong to something he knows nothing about. Worry about the next mass shooting your people commit and blame “rap music” for why your reptilian peers destroy everything they come in contact with. Bum
Whites created everything you know and see. You filthy, ugly, stupid chimps only know one thing: destroy.
It’s okay though, you’ll all be gone soon, and far sooner than you think.
We’re coming.
Boosie’s right – get the hell out your home city if you blew up as a rapper; especially if you from ChiRaq
Wait a minute Boosie a real nigga I thought he like that life. No disrespect to Edai, RIP this comment about Boosie all he talks about is thug shit and he’s giving a opinion.
Chicago a circus!
Theres crime everywhere…..LA….CHI…NY…MIA
..NO….people wake the fuck up…..the circus is the government…..
Take the victory lap, bro. Fax
That makes no sense to blame the government for your own wrongdoing. We are commenting in a article in which blacks killed another black and you going to say wake up? Lol
You can’t even see it’s your own people. That’s why y’all will never become more than what you are. Always blaming the least responsible entity.
Stop worrying about black issues that don’t concern you. I get it. You’re white. Nothing can be done about that.
Stop making excuses. King Tekashi already passed thru n showed y’all how to spread love not war n y’all still ain’t do it! SMH
Let them kill themselves. Hopefully eventually all these negative niggaz will be gone and our children will have a chance to survive.
Sorry, but you ALL gotta go. We won’t rest until America is completely chimp-free.
What’s crazy is you and the rest of your creatures destroy anything in your path. You’re a loser troll who probably has a choad. Lizards. They need to go. Enjoy storming the Capitol building again and blaming it on an election that your reptilian friends clearly lost and are delusional. Dummy.
I’m white, and i came here to tell you to eat a dick. Hopefully you and your entire inbred hillbilly family dies while fucking each other in the barn. People like YOU are the problem, not black people. They actually accept us. I guess they’re more civilized than you, you fucking hick. Oh and btw, Trump lost. And most of the greatest athletes are black too. I hope your daughter gets knocked up by the kindest, most responsible, hard working black man in the world just so you KNOW he ain’t going nowhere and you’re forced to eventually love your interracial grandchild. That would be fucking hilarious to me. Black lives matter. Yours doesn’t. Fuck you and all people (no matter what ethnicity) like you! You suck!
Get these guns out of our neighborhoods; our people killing each other for what clout?
This New Generation is Losing their Lives over petty sh** give them jobs. we need community structure.
wear make up much?
A dick, much? Lizard
Stay there and get killed or move and live. You make the choice. That’s why Reese get shot up every week.
He probably deserved it tbh. Most people aren’t shot in their back and NOT robbed for no reason.
Whether you’re the person pulling the trigger or the one getting hit from the person who pulled the trigger,In the end who’s really winning? If this was a game between the jail and funeral home, The the funeral home would be winning. Let’s wake up young Bros and Sis. Living is a valuable thing.?
Preach
Ah nice, yet another feel good story to start my day with a smile!
Although, this is a non-crime, a.k.a. N. on N. crime…. (take a guess what the N stands for hahaha!
Someone left the mutant reptile cage open again. Weirdo
Easy there, little toby chimp. Don’t make Master go grab the whip again! Ook eek!
I bet you won’t say it to nobody face. U coward
U internet clown Black people is the best thing ever happen to America
How many black chimps does it take to make the world a better place?
Exactly ZERO.
Time to take out the trash!
And this is why blacks are not projected to grow much past 13% in the next 50 years. Let’s break the mold and push for lowering to 12%! Then 10, and soon 0.
They are always so ugly, loud, annoying, stinky, and stupid. And they KNOW it.
They aren’t even close to being human.
You know what you baloney wet dog scented motherfuckers are right black folk need to clean it up bitch I don’t want mutts replacing our race
