Internet Money rapper Rot Ken has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 24-year-old man in Augusta, Georgia.
According to a report from The Augusta Press published on Sunday (June 18), the rapper and an accomplice allegedly shot two men in April, leaving one man dead and the other injured.
The incident reportedly occurred in “broad daylight,” with the shooters jumping out of a car and shooting into the victims’ vehicle, killing a passenger named Usaini Yunusa.
