A 20-year-old rapper was shot dead in front of 3,000 shocked fans in Brazil early Sunday. Cell phone footage shows MC Daleste talking to the crowd when a shot rang out and the rapper fell to the stage mortally wounded. MC Daleste, real name Daniel Pellegrine, was giving a free performance at a public housing complex in San Paolo when he was shot. The rapper was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. MC Daleste’s grieving father said jealousy and envy were to blame for the violence that claimed his son’s life.
From UK’s The Sun:
The 20-year-old Brazilian star died in hospital shortly after he was shot during a free gig for 3,000 fans in Campinas, 50 miles north of Sao Paulo, on Saturday.
More than 100,000 people have paid tribute on a memorial page.
The victim’s dad Roland Pellegrine said: “He had no enemies. It was envy. Jealousy kills.”
New York-based DJ Béco, who is from Sao Paulo, said: “This is one more sad event in a long history of urban violence in Brazil.
“Music should be the peaceful medium that connects us all for good times and for change.”
