UPDATED:
Darrius Miller, a well known local celebrity trainer to such stars as Ciara, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Takeyo Spikes and Terrell Owens, is hospitalized in a coma after being viciously beaten by a gang of thugs. The beating occurred in the early morning hours of Wednesday outside popular restaurant D’Jangos.
Police say about 7 members of a group calling themselves 01 Entertainment attacked Miller, 41, as he walked Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin‘s daughters Kai and Kali Franklin, and 2 other women to their car. Witnesses say the men came out of Verve nightclub and began videotaping the women who protested the taping. The men responded by calling the woman derogatory names.
Mr. Miller attempted to intervene when the men turned on him and beat him unconscious. According to witnesses, the women pulled the attackers off of Miller while other men stood watching but did not offer assistance. Mr. Miller went into cardiac arrest upon arrival at the hospital. Celebrities such as T-Boz and Keisha Knight Pulliam visited Mr. Miller who is on a respirator in ICU. Doctors think Mr. Miller may have sustained brain damage.

Damn that is some BULLSHIT!!!. I know Darrius and he was always a real cool dude trying to make his thing pop. He was nearly from a trouble maker and was trying to help this woman. I really hope they catch these little bastards and all of them should be burnt alive
I hope they catch them thugz n locked their ass up for attempted murder.
straight up bs..since they wanted to tape ol girl so badly..i pray one or all of the dumbasses got themselves caught on tape..there was no need for this..i hope she knows exactly who these fools are and does the right thing by Darrius..this is when snitching is absolutely necessary!
Sandra, thanks for reporting this. It is the first I heard about it. I hope there has been some arrests in this case
@2bme
Since you brought up snitching. I just want to clarify this to anybody that reads this:
Snitching, rat, etc. was a term used by the mafia for someone that IS a part of their organization and turns informant to save his own ***. Snitching only pertains to people that decide to commit a crime together and one of them gets caught but in order to save himself he tells on the other. This ain’t got **** to do with any outsider from that organization as they have made no oath or owe that organization ****. This is where we as black people are so ****** up. If I see a n**a do some dumb **** to someone else and I happened to be asked “Yes sir I will spill the beans” because 1. That n***a ain’t **** to me 2. I don’t know him 3. He didn’t ask me if it was ok for him to do it in front of me. So he can kiss my where the sun don’t shine. If me and you decide to do a robbery together but I get caught and you don’t NO I won’t tell on you because we decided to do this together, it ain’t your fault that I let myself get caught.
Dang, I was going to go to Django’s this weekend. Guess I won’t now. I hope he has a speedy recovery and Karma will come back on those coward azz punks.
I just googled the zone 1 group to see what they are all about. smh.
Hmm.. I smell hate crime.
Too soon? lol
to set some facts corrected.
1. it didnt happen outside of Django it happened in the parking lot where the Sign shop is…on peachtree and pine street!
2. Keisha Knight-Pulliam as well as some friends were able to see Darius in the hospital.
3. These guys that were involved in the beating of Darius are supposedly 01entertainment.. not zone 1. http://www.myspace.com/01ent They have already removed all the pics from their page.. but the police have what they want and are going to arrest these bastards.
4.Please keep Darius in your prayers.. he is a great guy and always looking out for other before himself!! He didnt deserve this especially on Christmas Day!!!
Darius is such a good person.. he will forgive these guys for what they did to him. That’s how caring he is!
Pray for him…for a speedy recovery and pray for his attackers…despite the fact that we all want to hurt them…so bad…. they need God & Jesus in their life!!
thanks for the updated information. The arrest can’t come to soon
this is so sad . they didn’t have to beat the man like that . i hope he can recover from this and i hope they put the people that did this behind bars.
Thanks Awitatl. I usually park on that corner in that lot. I go solo so I hope the ladies are safe getting to and from their cars.
What I want to know is. Why didn’t the(2) guys with the young ladies that Darius was protecting help him out. They wasnt even his girls. An the Faggot *** Nigga w/the girls didnt do ****. One nigga set in the car & the other left his girl, the other girl & Darius. The girls were the one gettin the dudes off Darius.
Now my homie, In the hospital fighting for his ******* life. I’m telling y’all!!! We gotta keep these Bitch *** Niggas Out Of Our Circle!!!!!!!!!!!!
dblaq I agree, however most look at snitching as simply telling on someone regardless of the situation. This is why i said this, for those who may not understand there is no honor keeping quiet about something this senseless
@ awitatl
Well lets make sure that these 01 Ent bitch ass n***s won’t do any parties or make any music anymore. I am sorry I am just tired of these wanna be thug asses, I know people use to always tell me that I shouldn’t be ugly but we are in a time where fire needs to fought with fire. These ignant bastards don’t understand anything else. The only thing that they will understand is when they will receive misery in the worst way caused by their actions. I wasn’t there but how I know Darius he was probably just trying to defuse the situation without having to buck and come at them with any Ra Ra most likely he was just telling them that this doesn’t need to go down that way. ****’em I would cut of their ears or gauge their eyes out so they can always remember that dumb shit they did. This man has to fight for his life and maybe deal with handicap when he was perfectly healthy because some dumb ass n***s were rejected by females
@ djeclazz
That is crazy these dudes need to be exposed, how can you sit there and live with yourself while your man get beat down like that. They should just be glad I wasn’t there because there would be a lot more people in a hospital and I woudl be in jail. Sorry peoples I get emotional about coward ass fake n***a shit done by non-thug wanna be thugs which we are surrounded with 80% of the time. We need to ship them to Iraq and let soldiers come home that don’t want to be over there who got fam they need to take care off.
I think it’s sad that you can’t even help people out now-a days without folks trying to get physical but because he was a man looking out for us sista’s this is how he end up it’s crazy & not right at all I really hope whoever did this gets caught if not they will never have good luck & GOD will se to that!! Get better brother
djeclazz…..i heard there were some guys with them… but they didnt do anything to help Darius. Their story was that it happened so quick.. that they couldnt do anything. Shit fcuk that i would have thrown rocks at those dudes running away if i couldnt throw some punches. There is no way i would let my supposed boy get jumped and not do a damn thing. That would make me a str8 up bytch!!
If anyone knows anything.. damn this street code… your friend is fighting for his life in the hospital with a respirator tube in his lungs to keep him alive. TELL TELL TELL AND TELL ON THESE BASTARDS. WHO KNOWS.. IT COULD BE YOU NEXT TIME!!
Damn thats messed up…I hope he recovers ok
Well Miss Sandra you know how I feel about this jumping crap. I don’t know what is wrong with our youth. When did they get so bitch-made? Of course the two men that were with the woman were afraid. They knew what the pack of animals would do. Clearly Darruis’ heart was too pure and he did what a man is supposed to do rather than fear the animals. God bless him.
@ Bird:
I totally agree. I’ve never seen one city so full of bitch made men! SOHH Gyant saved me from a beat down at the hands of several friends of Dre 3000 (Outkast) who surrounded me because I tried to take a picture of him at a strip club. That bitch ass Dre 3000 stood there and allowed it to happen. GYANT appeared out of nowhere – all 6 foot 8 of him – and those bitches looked up at him and peed their pants! Lol.
OMG Sandra!!! I cant beleived Dre 3000 would do something like that!!! Man he lost majot points for that ish!!!
sorry for the typos just cant believe Dre would allow that to happen to a female!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes it’s true and I have held my tongue all these months but now I’m putting it out there in light of what those cowards did to Darius. I want people to know that we have a serious problem with HEmale bitchery in Atlanta.
These dude out here in Atlanta are a trip. Alot of them are jealous of females. Sometimes I feel like packing up and moving back to Cali.
OMG hell no! this story is TERRIBLE. i feel so bad for Darius bcz he was being a true gentlemen and it’s so true that men these days talk alota ish but they are straight up PUNKS! that’s SOOOOOO sad. I hope the woman who got rescued visits him. i wonder what was going on? And why do blacks keep hurting blacks? it hurts my heart so much yall. i’m so sick of black people talking about white people keeping us down when really we do it to ourselves! and i’m so embarrassed at Andre 3000…OMG do u know he’s my FAVE rapper???!!! now i’m pissed as hell at him?!! how could he do that? stupid dummy! thank GOD for Gyant…i know him…he is aight wit me. that’s how a grown man should act…HELLO! i’m with natural…i want to move away from this place full of punk down low dudes!
That bitch ass Dre 3000 stood there and allowed it to happen.
*******************************************************
I can believe it. I lost all respect for him when he did an interview a year or so ago and confessed that Keisha Epps (Omar’s wife) was the only woman he ever really loved. I didn’t fault him for feeling that way, but why would he say that? Does he want his child to know that he never loved his mother? Was he trying to hurt Erykah? What was the point of that.
Bitch-made. Like I said.
It’s one thing not to like someone, but you are a woman Sandra. I remember you touching on this some time ago, but I assumed he was just being a little hollywood not pure bitch. He probably assumes because he wasn’t the one encircling you that he is absolved of it all..not physcially doing anything, but allowing it to happen and watching is just as bad. I have no respect for a bitch made man
^^^^watch yaself Sandra this may pick up steam in other blogs…
these boys look like turds for real, I hope they’ve been arrested and they all get locked up, this is some nonsense! I hope Darius recovers wholly.
oh yea ..also darius was planning a party @ Copeland’s for new year’s eve. a no cover charge.. free all night. I called the numbers on the flyer – scary enough.. Darius’ number is on the flyer for the party- but the man i spoke to said in respect and support for Darius.. the party will still go on and that everyone should come out to copeland’s on nye to support this great guy!! They have a live band….Music by dj eclass ..dinner will be served + tables are on sale for the event+ a champagne party! ANDDD… complimentary breakfast to welcome 2008. Now thats a party!
SO spread the word and be at copeland’s!! NO THUGS ALLOWED!!!!!
I’ll look for a flyer and post it on here!
DAMN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN ATL?!?!?! GLAD I KEPT MY SEXY ASS IN CHICAGO…THE MEN (OR SO-CALLED MEN) ARE REALLY TRIPPING!!! I HOPE THEY CATCH THESE ASSHOLES, THIS WASN’T EVEN RIGHT, BUT THAT’S THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN THESE DAYS….YOU GOTTA KEEP AWARE IN ALL YOUR SURROUNDINGS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN, MEN ARE REVERTING INTO ANIMALS NOW…KILLING US LEFT AND RIGHT. BE SAFE OUT THERE PEOPLE!!

Sandra, Andre CAN’T be like that…you must’ve come at him the wrong way. That man is sweet as honey, I know personally. You can get anything you want out of him if you ask right
On a side note, I didn’t know ATL was so GANGSTA-LICIOUS. I thought everyone had love for everyone – NOW DUDES IS JUMPING FOLKS DOWN THERE? That is some country-fied bama-ass mess!
Okay we are all sorry for what happen but lets stop looking one sided. Yea everyone knows darius as a good dube but no one knows the other side. No one knows if he was saying things to provoke his beating or what. Maybe the dudes he was with started the whole damn thing. But yet we are so quick to point the finger and lable people as thugs. 01 entertainment is a entertainment group but come on it speaks for itself. “Entertainment Group” that means lots of people wear these shirts to be down or in. I travel around the states alot and see lots of people with these shirts on, so does that mean the actual entertainment group itself has to suffer for what someone else did. Come on lets get serious. I feel bad for what happen but we have to open our eyes and see the bigger picture. When someone speaks and says they are going to shoot up everybody come on now lets get real, what right minded person gone let that person just do that. None of us know the true side of the story but yet we are quick to take sides because of the criticle condition of one. God will make sure everything is okay and god will also make who deserves the karma to pay for the senseless actions.

**********************************************************
I don’t care if he said, “I’m going to rape your mama tonight.” No words justifies a group of people beating one person. If he pulled a gun on them then they should have ran away because he could have capped one/some of them. I’m not really sure what you argument is here.
^^Thankyou ird has nothing to do with what he said..it was ONE man against several others.words do NOT hurt..fists do..the situation was uncalled for
Peaceful, You can kiss my ass!!!! 15 Punks doesn’t justify the beating of one man. Whatever happen to one on one as whippings. I guaranteed if any of them sorry as niggas would do shit if they weren’t with there crew. ( An I keep using the word niggas, cause u have african americans, then u have niggas). “An I hate niggas like the KKK do.”
An I so tired of all these fake ass kissing niggas hanging around these so called entertainment groups. When these groups make it. They can care less what happen to your black ass. You think they’re gonna buy u a car or a house cause u hanging around them kissing ass. Half of these music artist not making money till they get to their 3rd album(if that goes gold or platinum). An based on the 75% of the music in Atlanta that’s not gonna happen.
So a message to all you ass kissers. So u hanging around these Bitch Made Niggas & Entertainment Clicks ain’t gon get u jack shit. But gettin’ your black ass locked or killed!!!!!
And a message to all my DJ friends & Club Promoters. Don’t play any music by 01′ Entertainment.
We will be @ Copelands NYE doing BIG for Darius. Then January 6. We will have another party. Where 100% of the money is going to Darius & his family!!!!!!!!
What could ONE man have said to cause an entire pack of spinelss punks to beat him within inches of his life?
No matter how many sides you look at in through, there is NO JUSTIFICATION–this was some cowardly mess. Even if he had said some of the most foul things, it didn’t take ALL of them to handle him.
@ Peaceful
You obviously don’t know Darius, the Darius I know wouldn’t have step to a crowd of dudes and “Bitch ass nigga Come on”. He is more of a diplomat most likely he told them dudes that they don’t need to act like that but these 01 Homos probably couldn’t take it that he was more of a man than all of them put together. Pictures speak a 1000 words. Look at Darius myspace and pictures then look at these 01 crap asses.
What is so man or gangsta about having 10 people jump one man??? or any fool can squeeze a trigger??? A message to these Thug wanna be rappers and their entourage since they claim to be so Gangsta. None of these dudes would face another face to face and knuckle up. Take your ass beating and move on with your life. I bet you these dudes sitting in jail crying like they do on the First 48
The real mafia that they trying so hard to imitate would never hurt innocent people period. That was their code plus they lay low and trying not to conceive a bad public image. So whatever that bullshit is out here today is some kind of fantasy concoction between ignorance and a piece of turd.
Yeah Peaceful…I dont think theres a justification for jumping someone to the point that they are in critical condition, no matter what was said to start the altercation.
@ Maria Collins please check your messages at myspace that I received after doing our newsletter about the incident. I have forwarded you a message from CBS 46 News as they would like to cover the story. Or anybody that is a close friend or family that will be able to speak on the incident on camera. let me know
Like I said its one sided. No One knows what really happen if you were not there. How do you know he got jump,how do you know one person did not hit him. Everyone just speaks off what they think they may know and not what they know. You can probable ask millions of people in atlanta about 01 entertainment and they would tell you nothing but goods things of them. Atleast I heard nothing but good things and been to a few of the parties. The real men of 01 entertainment have wives and children and i cant imagine them doing anything like this. But like I stated before because its a entertainment group and for promotion reason like anyone would do give out free t shirts. Some even pose as the group to get in the clubs free. But ask any business man that ever did business with 01ent and see what they say. Yes who ever done it should be brought to justice but does that mean the group itself has to suffer for these actions. **** what you think of what I said and how you feel about me but just think to yourself that you don’t know what really happen. So all that you can do is prey for daruis. Hell Daruis may know 01ent, the real 01 ent. And also think to your self liquor dose not help the problem. You also don’t know if all these men was drunk including daruis. They did come from a party right.
@peaceful
obviously you dont know Darius… and there is not need to hear the other side of the story because Darius will never provoke a situation. He is always one to look out for others well being. 01 entertainment fucc ked up and there is no point to hear the other side. the situation at hand speaks for it self. Nothing in this world justifies you putting your hands on another man.
From the stories ive heard from the other people that were there at the scene with Darius and took him to the hospital…. Darius was defending the girls and told the guys to stop harassing them.
So please watch what you say. KEEP PRAYING FOR DARIUS AND HIS SPEEDY RECOVERY!!
@ eclazz…
post the info here for the party for Darius on the 6th and i will be there with all my people!
Peaceful obviously you must be a part of these ****ed up 01 Ent individuals. We know Darius and just so you know WE don’t need to know about these nobodies because they are nobodies. They ****ed with the with the wrong people. You wanna be a thug, then get it like one I guess they should have thought about their wives and kids before acting like dumb ass n****s. That’s why they took down their myspace because they are guilty. I don’t need to be there to draw my conclusion, that he came to the aid of a female that was preyed on by the so called husbands and fathers. And believe me when I tell you that there a lot of high powered people that will make sure that 01 Entertainment won’t do anything else in Atlanta!
Peaceful, Since u think that 01 Entertainment just gave out T-Shirts to some thugs. Why in the hell did they shutdown they’re myspace & website. If they didnt have anything to do with it.
You’re making me feel like u had something to so with the event. Since you’re really trying to defend them so hard. I was at the hospital yesterday speaking with one of the ladies that was apart of the incident. An she told me the whole story. So this is not some hearsay. We’re speaking on.
If 01 Ent didnt have anything to do with it. They need to come forward like men & say it… Because being quiet will get the whole crew in a gang of trouble!! For Real!!!! Don’t say I didnt tell you.
Since you are the “PR” for 01 Entertainment!!!!!
Basically they f*cked up. An messed with the wrong person. They might want to change they’re entertainment name. To sumthin else if they’re smart!!!!!!!
Well I hope there won’t be a march for these guys.
Hey Sandra,
This is Tigris and I was doing some promotions last year with Darius and he is not a bad person and anybody and everybody will tell you that I’m sure that you see. I most definitely expect to scroll down to catch up on my news and see Darius as a subject to something so horrible. My mouth dropped and I really just can’t believe it. He has little girl and family people just don’t think about their actions and the harm it causes the family and the victim. My prayers are with him and I just really really can’t believe this.
And to Peaceful take that bullshit to someone else who doesn’t know Darius. Like everyone says there isn’t any justification to take this man from his family, friends, and associates in the industry and place him in a coma. He doesn’t deserve this at all!!! If they think that they will do shit in the Atl after this and any other part of the country in a major city in this industry then they might as well hang it up, because once the industry play makers are fully alerted then it’s over. Darius is a very liked individual who is fair to everybody.
peaceful is talking like he is one of the 01 entertainment crew “trying to be discrete” and defend them.
There is no type of reasoning for this action. Justice will prevail.. if its street justice or law justice. I’m pretty sure this isnt the first time 01 entertainment crew have beaten someone up…. now they just ****ed with the wrong person..and are going to pay big time!
just got a tip from a web techie friend of mine. he says google 01 entertainment and when you see the link to their myspace.. click on cached and you will see what their page looked like before they removed all the pics!
01 Ent cached
here is a link for you to see!!!
Let this be a message to all these wanna be thugs. If you are willing to jeopardize everything over some ignorant bullshit think again. Darius will get his justice, like I said before you don’t do this to someone that is well liked in the community. 01 Entertainment better pack your shit up and move back to New York because we don’t want you here. Just watch the news and to Peaceful, might as well tell your buddies that its a wrap. We gunning for you but we will do it the right way!
Shut your PEACEFUL ASS UP!!! Wrong is WRONG and 01 ENT was dead wrong for jumping Darius! Each and every one of those 01 ENT dudes would have done society better by dripping down their fathers legs!!! Jumping someone and beating them into a coma is WRONG!!! Darius will come out of this, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Focus on positive thoughts when it comes to Darius and he WILL get through this without a doubt, he is VERY STRONG, and he is a GREAT MAN!!! Darius will continue to impact people’s lives in a positive way
Today I was listening to LINKTV rap from Burkina Faso. They were not emulating gangsters, and said US rappers do, because they’re confused about their identity.
When the innocent are victims, it’s not snitching.
Sean Taylor, inside job. Did the beating have to do with someone else in the party?
Did you hear about the Mexican singer who was murdered by a gang to prove that another could not protect him?
Witnesses? A friend of mine sat in a chair for an hour with a bullet in his head. Nobody called 911, but one person called a friend of his. Everybody assumed his ass was somebody’s asset, you know. His friend had to drive a long way, but when he saw his friend, he stood up out of his chair and started talking, and tried to walk. He fell down. His Glasgow score was 9 or more all the way to Howard Hospital, but all they had was a bag of ice. You can get a bigger bag of ice at 7-11. If he had been a black man in uniform he would have received a craniotomy, but in the third world capital of a first world country, no craniotomy for Glasgow score of 9 to 11. Without a craniotomy, swelling squeezed out the oxygen from his brain after 12-1/2 hours.
A week later, the shooter was killed. That’s when the police learned who murdered my friend. That’s the way it works, always one step behind, unless witnesses are too sure the victim was not a member of The Suicide Club.

We heard the boys dis-respected the women and the man, Darius. Assume Darius respected the boys, or you are kicking Darius because he’s black and that’s all you need to know to write his ass off to your neo-plantation’s asset recovery posse.
Listen to all the traumatized second-guessing trying to make Darius somebody’s slave-asset, just like my friend when nobody called 911 because he MIGHT be a slave, because he was black, and out after dark and the hounds were barking.
“Dre 3000 stood there and allowed it to happen”
President Richard Milhouse Nixon stood and watched Joseph McCarthy kick columnist Drew Pearson in the groin, twice. Nixon was guilty of “mispresion of a felony”, a bad sign if ever there was one. The president of the United States was afraid of a hate storm the little man McCarthy was riding.
The only book McCarthy was known to even hold in his hand was Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Like Adolf, Joe was Prescott Bush’s dog.
It was censorship for Nixon to let McCarthy kick Pearson. Pearson had strayed from the neo-plantation, and Prescott’s dog was on his trail. Nixon must have viewed speech and press as state and oligarchy assets, so he let the dog shepherd the sheep.
Nobody called off Joe McCarthy but Prescott Bush, because McCarthy was a white man’s dog, Bush’s dog.
Some people have to know who the dogs belong to, because they are afraid to touch The Man’s dogs. Sometimes The Man can be very slow to call off his dogs. Somebody might want to drop a dime on NVN dogs, instead of letting them run and play and jump up on people.
