The man killed in the shooting at Irving Plaza last night (May 25) was Troy Ave’s BSB affiliate Banga, HipHopDX has learned.
The New York Police Department reported that a 33-year-old man was shot at the New York venue where Atlanta rapper T.I. was headlining a show. He was brought to Beth Israel Hospital on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where he was later pronounced dead. Another man and a woman were also shot in the incident and hospitalized. Troy Ave’s leg was reportedly grazed by a bullet, sending him to hospital.
Shortly after, tributes started pouring into Banga’s most recent Instagram post.
Banga was the CEO and head trainer at Big Bizz Fitness in Brooklyn, and a long-time supporter and friend of Troy Ave’s, even linking to Ave’s projects in his Twitter and Instagram bios.
HipHopDX spoke with Chino “Norbes” Velez (from New York’s SMACK/URL rap battle league), who went to the same high school as Banga and Ave.
“He was always a positive brother,” Velez said. “We reconnected a couple years ago and he was showing love and proud of what I was doing with Smack. Me, him and Troy all went to the same high school. He was always a fun guy to be around, always joking and shit.”
Here are some of the tributes that people have posted on Instagram.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to the family and friends of the deceased and wishes quick recovery to those injured.

Hmm no im not pussy im stating a fact the real pussies are these dipshits who glamourize gang banging ask a REAL gangster if banging cool or if its fun he will disagree he does it to survive these guys do it as a fuckin fashion statement and kill eachother over it which is pathetic when they got money and good lifes then they effect the lives of so many in negative ways think how many young black men who die in the streets everyday over gang shit this guys just another statistic it needs to stop
Yeah you dumb nigga and obviously don’t know nothing about street life. Its fairly simple. He didn’t need to be in a gang or be a street dude. If you around a dude who claims or is in gang or in the streets you think your friends enemies gonna leave you alone. No they won’t. You may not be the intended target but since you ridin with him you can get hot bullet as well cause its all the same to them . They can’t get to Troy Ave then lets get his homie. Bullets do not discriminate. Dont ever forget it

Look at his almost borderline homo pics you see of the guy sportin red hat red bandannas red jordans always tryin to poke some red out and insure it stood out so he fits in with wannabe big mouthed gang bangers like troy ave who aint shit then step up to some real bloods or crips at the concert especialy crips if your throwin red all around actting hard your gonna get confronted and 80% of the time shot at now they know the risk dont they? Thats why portraying this fake ass gangster mentallity shit in rap has to stop your normal fuckin people you go hang out with your friends you drive to and from work you may party or get fucked up after work your just normal people with alot of money fuckin act like it set examples for the youngins to want to be something else than a gang banger the na zis used to use noise and messages over a loud speaker to brainwash people what do you think rap does to the youth? They grow up respectin nothing and thinking theres no consequences from what they do well we all learned yesterday theres consequenceses you want to be something your not and you shouldnt be
Not to say not to listen to rap music i fuckin love the world of hiphop and will never leave it listen to it everyday for hours just a matter of hearing what your listening to and taking it with a grain of salt and remembering where reality is unlike 90% of rappers in the game
Heavy that.
rip
Don’t feed the troll. He doesn’t know the first thing about hiphop,

DX, you guys know this was caused by a beef between Troy and Maino’s entourage and Maino/Uncle Murda were performing when this happened? http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/manhattan/nypd-close-arrest-deadly-shooting-irving-plaza-article-1.2650743
THE KARMA GONNA CATCH UP, THE ALBUM SALES WONT.
LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR MANSSSS. HE WAS A INNOCENT.
SMH. RIP STEEZ.
RIP Capital Steez!
Joey Bad masterminded the whole thing and brought it to fruition with his chakras when his third eye opened.
that east side sign is actually a satanic salute. a lot of other hand signs these industry fakers (devil followers) throw up are also satanic salutes in reality (little which most people even know about). so i am afraid your boy banga here won’t be resting in peace at all in fact the devils are happy they are going to hell with #banga. learn your stuff man. Jesus was a prophet of God as we muslims believe.
he knew what he was doing and like you all he didn’t want to hear that islam is truth and well he made his choice and now its eternity in hell. i want to feel bad but then i don’t because these fools reject God the real God. whats worst than a person who rejects his creator…. and throws up devil signs and salutes.
What are you smoking? Fucks sake someone just died and you all up in here banging about an imaginery person in the sky
Wow. Read a book idiot. The prophet Mohammed lived hundreds of years after Jesu’s death, retard. The Quaraan was also written hundreds of years after the bible. How was Jesus supposed to accept Islam and it’s real prophet they didn’t exist yet? Moron. Satanic gang signs?!how stupid are you? You are a good person your whole life but get sent to hell for throwing up your fingers. Regard. Retards go to hell BTW
