Sha EK, a noted Bronx drill rapper, has been charged with attempted murder for his alleged involvement in a July 2024 shooting in the Bronx.

The shooting took place in the borough’s Mott Haven neighborhood, and three people were hospitalized as a result.

Earlier this week, Sha was arrested for the shooting. According to News 12, investigators used “a combination of witness accounts, security footage and ballistics” to link the rapper to the incident.

Sha last popped up in headlines back in 2022 when he was one of several New York rappers removed from that year’s Rolling Loud New York festival allegedly at the request of the New York Police Department.

According to the New York Times, Bronx rhymers Sha Ek and Ron Suno, as well as Brooklyn native 22Gz, were cut from the lineup. All three were associated with the city’s popular yet controversial drill rap scene.

The cancelations came less than 24 hours before the three-day festival was scheduled to begin at Citi Field in Queens. The star-studded bill included fellow New Yorkers Nicki Minaj and A$AP Rocky, as well as Future, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert and more.

Sha Ek’s manager, Stanley “Noodles” Davis, spoke out against the decision, pointing out that his client has not been charged with any crime that could justify his ban.

“The police try to associate what he’s doing with violence and negativity,” he said. “They don’t respect that he’s an artist and entertainer trying to better himself and feed his family at 19 years old.”

He added: “Sha Ek has performed all over the Northeast this year. The crowds at his concerts are full of kids dancing and having fun. He’s excited to keep growing his touring business and proving the police wrong.”

Ron Suno’s manager, Diamond “Bo” Brown, also expressed dismay at his client’s removal, telling the New York Times via text: “How can a person who has no criminal record and no gang ties — the kid never even made a diss record — be denied to perform in his hometown after all his hard work?”

Suno was involved in a fight with fellow New York rapper Kay Flock at the previous year’s Rolling Loud New York, but has since downplayed the incident in interviews and on social media.
