Three emerging Detroit rappers have been reported missing after a performance at a local club was canceled earlier this month.
According to CNN and Detroit police, Armani Kelly (Marley Whoop), Dante Wicker, and Montoya Givens were all slated to perform at Lounge 31 in Detroit on January 21 and have been missing since the early hours of January 22.
“It’s our understanding that the performance got canceled, and from there – we just have a whole lot of unanswered questions that we are trying to find out,” said Detroit commander of crimes Michael McGinnis.
“The mother of one of the victims, the next day, made a report of the missing person. That mother became very proactive in the investigation and started searching for her vehicle through OnStar.”
Her car was recovered by authorities on January 23 in nearby Warren, Michigan, but no leads to the victims were produced or arrests have been made.
McGinnis is pleading that anyone in the public that could provide information about the three men to come forward at this time.
“We want to find them and get them home to their loved ones,” he said. “Really think about the victims’ families in this case, they have no answers. They don’t know where their loved one is. We need help. If somebody knows something, we’re asking please call and share that information with us.”
Per ABC7 affiliate WXYZ, Armani Kelly texted his fiancee that the show was canceled on January 21 and wasn’t heard from again.
Kelly’s mother, Lorrie Kemp, has posted flyers all around Lansing, Michigan but fears the worst for her 28-year-old son, who recently spent eight years behind bars.
“I am angry because you did 8 years in prison and you didn’t die and then you get out and they kill you. He’s dead,” Kemp said. “I don’t want to be on Dateline in 20 years to find his body. I am doing everything I possibly can and I am out there hitting the roads, hitting the pavement. where is the police department? They didn’t do their job.”
Either the owners/promoters at Lounge 31 made them disappear or Eminem is keeping them locked up in his basement. We may never know.
Did anybody check the McDonald’s parking lot? They got high, got some food, went to sleep. Case closed.
Seek mental help you fatherless degenerate
Not even funny, some Mother’s and loved ones are stressed to the core of their sub-atomic DNA, their souls are shook in fear and worry, even maybe the 3 great Lakes rappers might still need help, if the are as is hoped amongst the livng. People should care and respect, , You go to McDonalds and stuff your pie-hole already, sit, then think, then pray, then maybe make an offering of some kind of goodwill or prayers for others. Just saying,,,
No lady u didn’t do ur job as a parent.. raided a prisoner of 8 years.. that’s on YOU as a failure of a parent and FAILING to RAISE a proper MAN.
You can do your job as a parent and your child can still go the wrong way. Are you stupid?
Wait till it’s ur ppl then see how ur shit was raised sucka
Yah hes stupied!
Definitely doesn’t sound good at all
Definitely doesn’t sound good at all pray for the 3 men
What’s happening to our society? Lives has no meaning, we should all pray for the safe return of all three men. These young people today are so uniformed about life. Sit down face to face family dinner, in most homes doesn’t exist anymore, black or white. But those who do seems to have to have a better core understanding of life’s choices. Choices today are made from viewing TicTok & YouTube. I’ll close by saying all people please have compassion for the families of the missing and prayers for a safe return.
Praying for a safe return of all three
