Cardi B<\/a> has shared her sincere thoughts about the death of 15-year-old Bronx student Javits Frimpong following his murder allegedly at the hands of local bullies.<\/p>\n

The Grammy winner, who hails from the Bronx, addressed the Ghanian boy’s murder on Instagram Live just days after he was chased and killed on his way to school on Thursday morning (October 29). <\/p>\n

According to ABC 7 New York<\/a>, Frimpong\u2019s father, Thomas Frimpong, pointed to his son’s bullies as the suspects and claimed that the group had recently been suspended. The late teen relocated from Ghana last year to live with his father.<\/p>\n

“I’m seeing a lot of discourse like ‘Oh, well, Black Americans bully so much, the Africans that were coming or they be bullying\u2026,'” Cardi began in the clip above. “No, let me tell you something. Everybody, everybody, when I say everybody be bullying the new kids that come from foreign countries that be coming from Africa or from DR [Dominican Republic] everybody bullies them, even their own kind.”<\/p>\n

Cardi also questioned the logic behind the suspects fatally shooting Frimpong in the early morning. “What the fuck what makes you wake up in the morning like, ‘Today is the day that I’m just gonna kill somebody for no fucking reason. They never jumped me they never hurt me I’m just gonna kill them.'”<\/p>\n

The rapper also advised parents who plan to relocate to the East Coast to move to Pennsylvania instead of New York City.<\/p>\n

Cardi went on to stress that she would never enroll her children in a New York public school or raise them in the hood. <\/p>\n

“What does bullying make you do? When somebody fucks with you and somebody picks on you what does that make you do? That that makes you want to join a gang,” she said. “You could be a innocent kid minding your fucking business. Next thing you know, you constantly getting picked on.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “That shit make you want to join a gang so you can have your own group of people so people can stop fucking with you. ‘Cause that’s practically what happened to me.”<\/p>\n

Frimpong arrived in New York last year to to live with his father, a yellow cab driver, and attended DreamYard Preparatory School. At roughly 9:24 a.m. on Thursday, Frimpong was walking to school when he was shot once in the stomach near East 171st Street and Crotona Place. The 15-year-old ran about a block and collapsed on the steps of St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died. Police are looking for three teenage boys who wore black sweatsuits and blue surgical masks, as seen on surveillance video. <\/p>\n

His father says that about three days before the shooting, the principal told him two students had been suspended for a week for bullying Frimpong. He believes the shooting was retaliation.<\/p>\n

Cardi B gave $8,000 in 2018 to the family of 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz<\/a>, who was killed by gang members in a mistaken-identity attack<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B has shared her sincere thoughts about the death of 15-year-old Bronx student Javits Frimpong following his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-389024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
