TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- One thing that creates some doubt here -- Soldier Kidd was in a different car than the alleged getaway vehicle in the picture he posted.
- He couldnโt really be that dumb, could he?
- Soldier Kidd has a mixtape called Triple X -- maybe thatโs what he was talking about in the caption.
- Is overnight fame really worth doing a few decades in jail? He got his wish to go viral, but at what cost? He'll have to live with this decision for the rest of his life.
- Nobody in Soldier Kidd or Jojo's comments is buying their excuses.
- People talk about social media witch hunts, but this really is one. Let's let the real investigators do their job.
- Sometimes the cops don't have a clue until social media illuminates some key details.
Cybersleuths think they got a break in the case when they found a picture of rapper Soldier Kidd posing with Soldier Jojo, with a creepy red mask hanging on the driver seat headrest. Amateur gumshoes point out that the men and the mask match the description of the suspects given to 911. The seemingly cryptic caption, posted just a few hours after the shooting, says, โTriple X but we be banging like we BD.โ Also, Kidd ordered from Hook Fish and Chicken, and took a picture with the plate and a gun in his lap. The seafood spot is less than a 10-minute drive from where X was gunned down.
The suspects could have found out Xโs location through a post made by the motorcycle dealership that has since been deleted. The social media post shows a sleepy looking X with a bag in his hand -- possibly the same one stolen at the scene.
Even more damning are now-deleted tweets that say, โI really just popped dis [guy]โ and โBruh I really just shot XXXtentacion Iโm finna go viral.โ Though these tweets arenโt linked to Kiddโs main account, folks say he used the name SniperGangRed as a secret burner account.
Kidd denied the allegations in a video on Instagram. He says he has love for X even though he didnโt know the guy. And even though he wasnโt involved, he offered condolences to Xโs family and says he'll keep his head up.
Soldier Jojo also posted a picture in which he was wearing the red mask. He later deleted it and put up a video where he said he had โrespectโ for the dead, and gave his alibi as โchillingโ at the time of the murder.
