Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s Kid Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, was arrested yesterday August 2 and charged with the killing of a 55-year old homeless man in New York City. Glover reportedly had been working as a security guard and a handyman in the area and possibly had altercations with the homeless man.
The 57-year-old rap pioneer reportedly murdered the homeless man during a drunken exchange, because the man was found with multiple stab wounds in his chest.
Glover rose to fame on the shoulders of legendary Bronx DJ Grandmaster Flash, who formed the rap group ‘Furious Five’ after meeting Kid Creole and two others in the late 1970s. In 2007, the group were inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first ever hip-hop act to be inducted. Kid Creole at the V Gibraltar Song Festival.
