Chicago Rapper Qawmane “Young QC” Wilson Kills Mother for Financial Gain
Christmas Eve wasn’t the usual festive time for an aspiring West Side Chicago rapper, this after he and two accomplices were charged in the arranged killing of his mother. Qawmane Wilson hired a pair of friends to carry out a hit on his mother just so he could gain access to her bank account and life insurance policies, police say.
Wilson, 24, was the lone son of Yolanda Holmes, a successful and well-liked beauty salon owner. According to reports, Holmes provided her son, also known as rapper Young QC, with a posh life but it appeared that wasn’t enough. Holmes was murdered in September 2012 in a home invasion-styled killing, with Wilson reportedly orchestrating the whole plan.A report from the Chicago Tribune below offers more detail.
From the Tribune:
Wilson was arrested Sunday after a police investigation determined he had arranged to “have his mother murdered,” police said. He was charged with murder and home invasion. Assistant State’s Attorney Maura White said Wilson, who has his mother’s name tattooed on his right shoulder according to court records, liquidated his mother’s bank accounts, valued at over $90,000, a week after her death. He was also the beneficiary of two of her life insurance policies. Spencer told the authorities that Wilson hired him to carry out the hit and admitted to killing stabbing and shooting Holmes. Spencer was also selected by Holmes’ boyfriend, who was in the home during the shooting, out of a police lineup. Johnson served as the driver for Spencer as he carried out the gruesome crime. Wilson is currently being held without bail and has been charged with murder and home invasion, sharing the same charges with Johnson. Spencer has been charged with first degree murder, home invasion, and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Hit the gallery to see the mugshots of Wilson, Spencer and Johnson, along with various shots from Wilson’s Instagram.

KayO Redd [Waka Flocka Brother] Found Dead
On December 29, Waka Flocka’s younger brother, KayO Redd, was found dead. The news comes just days after the deaths of Lord Infamous of Three 6 Mafia and Doe B of Grand Hustle.
The rapper and his mother, Debra Antney, confirmed Redd’s death via Twitter.
The cause of death has not been confirmed, however, many reports speculate Redd, who was an aspiring rapper, committed suicide.
He released the YNS: The Rise Of The Sykho Souljamixtape in 2011 and YNS 2: Full Time Grind mixtape in 2012. His most recent work was the Red Kisses mixtape released earlier this year.
Our condolences to Waka, his mother, and their family. We’ll keep you updated on any new developments regarding this case.

Erykah Badu Will Star In Givenchy’s Spring 2014 Campaign
The beautiful and talented Erykah Badu has been announced as the face of Givenchy’s Spring 2014 line. The singer is said to be Creative Director Ricardo Tischi’s inspiration as he has admired her style and elegance since before they met. Tischi’s line has Japanese and African influences and he says Erykah was in the back of his mind the entire time he was designing the line.
“Erykah, she’s an icon—come on! What I want to do with my advertising campaign is spread the love. Already now it’s been three seasons that I’ve been using people that express something—they are great artists, or beautiful women, or stylish women, or models that I really believe in. It’s kind of a family portfolio.”
Check out the stunning photo of the multi-talented Ms. Badu as we look forward to more to come this Spring.
