Slim Dunkin may have been murdered during an argument about sweets, reports Billboard. The rapper, real name Mario Hamilton, was shot dead last week in a recording studio in an incident that was witnessed by up to twenty people.
Homicide detective David Quinn was quoted as saying: "Someone came in and struck him and a fight ensued. Now the information we're getting, and it's unconfirmed but, witnesses are saying that this whole thing started over a piece of candy".
Slim Dunkin, who was in his early 20's, was said to be one of the most promising up n' coming rap artists in the southern United States.
