Shakir Stewart was 34 years old. His body was found in the bathroom of his home around 4 p.m. Saturday. He was taken to the Kenne Hospital with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and later pronounced dead.
The Oakland, California, native was known in the music industry for his hard work and an ear for talent. He was recently instrumental in fattening Def Jam’s roster with Southern rap staples Rick Ross and Young Jeezy.
Yesterday his fiancée, Michelle Rivers, released a joint statement with the rest of his family.
We would like to thank Shakir’s friends for the tremendous outpouring of love and support we have received during this difficult time,” the statement reads. “It has helped us to cope with our overwhelming grief and sadness. It is difficult to express or explain in words what led to the tragic occurrence on Saturday. Over the past several weeks, Shakir’s behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love. As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence. Please remember Shakir for who he was … a wonderful father, partner, son and friend.”
Def Jam released a statement Saturday night in the aftermath of the tragedy.
“L.A. Reid and all of us at Island Def Jam Music Group are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague Shakir Stewart,” the statement reads. “Shakir was an amazing man, in every sense of the word. A truly incredible friend and father who was an inspiration to not only our artists and employees, but to his family and the many people who had the privilege of counting him as a friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time.”
Julian King was just so cute! You could tell that kid had lots of personality.
A private memorial service will be held early next week for the mother, brother and nephew of Jennifer Hudson, who were shot to death in Chicago.
The Hudson Funeral Home announced the service will be held at 9 a.m. Monday at the Apostolic Church of God, according to the Chicago Tribune.
On Friday, a rep from the funeral home will announce if the family will hold a public service, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for contributions to a newly created Hudson-King Domestic Violence Protection Fund, care of Seaway Bank
and Trust, P.O. Box 19522, Chicago, IL, 60619.
William Balfour, the ex-husband of Hudson’s sister, Julia, is being held as a “person of interest” in the case. Chicago Police say the murders are “domestic-related.”
If you feel like your life sucks right now, just be thankful you’re not Jennifer Hudson.
Actress/singer Jennifer Hudson may be worried about her own safety. “Extra” received chilling new details on how Hudson in hiding and surrounding herself with security guards.
“I can’t disclose where Jennifer is staying — I can just tell you it’s a hotel. She has bodyguards… and the hotel she’s staying at has a great security team.”
According to recent reports, it’s believed that William had an accomplice at least drive him to his girlfriend’s house after the murders. Jennifer is probably fearful of not just William’s alleged accomplice, but anyone connected to that a-hole. I want the police to find the killers and get this whole mess wrapped up immediately. It’s pissing me off. I blame Jennifer’s sister Julia. There, I said it. That bitch is an irresponsible sister from hell!
Police have identified the body of a young boy discovered in an SUV in Chicago as Jennifer Hudson’s missing nephew Julian King, police Supt. Jody Weis said Monday.
The body was discovered “in the rear seat” of a white Chevrolet Suburban on Chicago’s West Side Monday morning, according to the Chicago Police Department. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to reports.
Immediately following the news of the body’s discovery, Hudson’s family members organized a church vigil. Several family members visited the medical examiner’s office Monday afternoon.
King, 7, went missing Friday after an unidentified assailant fatally shot Hudson’s mother Darnell and brother Jason. Over the weekend, Hudson offered $100,000 for the safe return of her nephew.
The Chicago Tribune reports that bullet casings were found in the boy’s room on Friday.
I am very interested to find out what happens to the person(s) who committed these crimes. This is all just so sad and senseless, makes ya wanna hug your family a lil tighter and tell them how much you care. Sending positive vibes the Hudsons’ way.
