Social media users are blaming Atlanta club promoter Mr. Rugs for the lack of security at his nightclub on the night former pro basketball player Cliff Dixon was shot to death.
Cliff was on his way into the SL Lounge in Chamblee, GA, early Thursday night to celebrate his 32nd birthday when he was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Now friends and associates have taken to social media to ask club owner Rugs where he was when Cliff lay dying in the parking lot.
Reality TV star Masika Kalysha posted an image on Instagram stories that read:
“This sh-t ain’t adding up. A man gets shot multiple times in the head walking into his own party in a busy ass parking lot. Where tf were his damn friends?!”
Masika, who has a child with rapper Fetty Wap, continued:
“I know this man wasn’t walking into the club alone. Several witnesses including a fake ass cop we’re [sic] right there and even “gave chase” but the shooter got away. Meanwhile the mans [sic] dying on the ground & the party still jumping. Smfh [sic] you ain’t deserve this RIH @cldtoon”.
Others took to Rugs’ Instagram page to address him directly about the lack of security outside his club that night. Rugs clapped back at several women on his Instagram page, where the comments were mostly supportive of him.
Rugs and Cliff were very close friends. They often partied and traveled together, and they owned a business together in Miami.
Cliff was a 6-10 college basketball player who went undrafted in the 2011 NBA draft. He played ball overseas to earn a living. He was best known as NBA star Kevin Durant’s best friend and reality TV star Erica Mena’s ex-boyfriend.
Rugs is also mourning the loss of his close friend Prime Time, pictured below left with Cliff. Prime passed away in February of an undisclosed illness.

Why is it Mr. Carpet’s fault? We’ve heard about nuccas still getting shot even with a rack of security present. Just sounds like dude had a beef with someone and was set up.
KILLER!!!

Death all around this guys!
He killt him?
Atlanta is becoming the OK Coral. But you notice it’s just Black on Black crime.
STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE!!!
Masika may want to be a bit less vocal regarding this murder, smh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5a16feb7886870b58e876a7ffc6b264e7419e743bb55ec579123b82d4a427799.gif
Yeh i would stop being his friend
If those are recent pics, Prime doesn’t look sick… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9eb2b76e506e38d5072dd1cf3ad262774eb5ffcb7856de93eefa3205f33fbcb1.gif
smh… ROFL!

No video surveillance in the parking lot? No witnesses? No security?
Chile…
Damn, I’m sure he’s trying to mourn! I’m sure he feels guilty enough….we weren’t there, so how can the internet speculate!
is Rug the one beefing w/Cliff over a woman?
Sika ALWAYS has SOMETHING to say…
Yeah, they wheeled that guy away on a gurney with maybe one other person by him? The party was still going on inside. IDK if Cliff had just arrived and this happen (i’m thinking yes) or if he went out to his car for something then this popped off.
It’s very disturbing that Atlanta has become crazy, no matter the part of town you’re on. I still believe someone was waiting for him, spotted him, shot him. This was not random and wasn’t no attempted robbery.
Cliff Dixon, Prime, one other guy. Three friends of Rugg’s are dead now.
She just that groupie that always has to be up in something. U know she slammed all of them so she has to give her two cents.
Hmmmmm
IDK
What kind of undisclosed illness did the other friend die of???
They was calling him a killer. So kinda
“This was not random”

i get it, but she’s openly blaming him for his friend’s death… that’s a bit much (IMO)
Damn. He’s lost two friends in such a short time period. And to have strangers on the internet blame you for your friend’s death…. I’d be a damn mess.
wow.
Too many ppl watching First 48 trying to be internet detectives is how..
i bet they got it solved already over at LSA.
Lol!
Exactly.
I’ll bet they got it solved on those streets and the word is already on the curb as to whodunnit.
Agreed.
streets Always know… yep!
Its undisclosed ?
This article is reckless. People love a good conspiracy theory, and they will start commenting on why he had 2 friends that died within months of another. There was really not reason to bring up the other friend EXCEPT to get people to start being silly and talking about the llluminati and other dumb shit. You didn’t report about the other friend when he dies…why you bringing him up now?
At this rate it’s not going to be any young black men left in the U.S.
So you saying leave Mr. Trowpillow out of it.
*cackles*
For real!
Cliff got murdered outside of Rugs club. Rugs was one the last people to see Prime alive before his “massive stroke.” What if we found out Rugs was behind all of it. Did he have business dealing with Prime as well?
Didn’t something like this (two deaths) happen to Ariana Grande?
You already know they do.
I’m sure most of us have been guilty
of blaming someone when we lose a loved one, but none of us can escape death when it is our time. It was predestined. Security or not, it was his time to go.
Word on the streets is, Rugs is apart of fabulous and them robbery crew ???????????????
https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/fabolous-the-street-family-robbery-ring.422093/
Yep, I heard the same thing. When was Fabs last hit!!? But he is rich rich.
LOVE “First 48…,” but I digress.
hmmm
Mat said, step off. LOL!
MF’s get killed every day. These young men out here are ruthless and don’t care that they are out here killing each other over dumb ish. If he didn’t get shot at the club he would’ve gotten shot somewhere else. No need to be an internet conspiracy theorist and ready to blame everyone else but the shooter…..
Mr. Carpet? LOL!
What the hell is a grown man dressing up all pretty to go show out for anyway… that’s not no manhood that Ni&&ahood ratchet craP
Prime, Rugs and even Fabulous are small fish. Y’all need to start looking at Jay Z and P. Diddy. They are all connected. What was Diddy known for back in the day? What was Jay Z known for back in the day? How is Islam connected? I used to be a big fan of this dusty negros until I found out the truth. These people have sold out the same black people they claim to be helping.
I’ma try to take this all in…slowly.
Yerp. The streets ALWAYS know.
Atlanta is filled with the broke acting like they paid …scamming people out they money so they can keep they appearances up…same thing happen to that Angela Simmons babydaddy out here risking they life to be perceived as a Baller who can show out in the clubs
Yerp, leave the shag carpet out of it.
Do tell hun I’m listening…
if there had been more security, the MF would have been shot on the way home or in his own fugging driveway like that other chick’s baby daddy. this was specifically for him and was carried out without anyone else getting harmed. stay out the fugging clubs if you worried about security.
i could not remember her name but i just brought him up in my post.
Exactly
All I have to say is stay humble and don’t get caught up in the trappings of this world.
nah, there’s plenty plenty. they’re home at night.
Nothing but some conspiracy bullshit.. lol black folks know everything but don’t know shit.
Raised by women
Totally
well go ‘head, i’m listening… what had happened??? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/96b91ce0cf4d1b1096df2493bd56e88573aa6ea598ec972e4f5de6a142f25a42.gif
this applies only to Black folks?????
Whites are killing blacks and each other at a higher rate in Atlanta is what some idiots on this blog would like you to belive
yeah, it’s friday… i got time.
i’m just waiting for 5:30 so i can resume my real life, LOL!
I beg yo pardon?
I know you need to stay outta my thread perpetrating to be black…
Them folks you named are further away from Islam than a Jewish
KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!
*aims nozzle*
Chile!
Shut ur dumb ass up. All black folks don’t think the same.. I said wtf I said “QUEEN”
It would have been more of a conspiracy in my opinion of Prime didn’t pass away from a health issue. That’s the part that shows no conspiracy to me. I know you put massive stroke in quotes but I assume his death certificate lists his health issue and the county coroner isn’t going to fake the cause of death for a black man so some club promoter can get away with murder ?????
5:3000000000????!!!! I’d pass out. LOL 3:24 for me and I’m outta here. I got here at the last minute of the last minute, which means I can still leave on time. LOL #blackfolksworkethics LOL
Mostly. But we’re oblivious to the obvious?
Learn to how to recognize humor and speak when you are spoken to. I said what I said HOE
Define: dressing up all pretty
Sounds like you got your trans club scene mixed up with the club club scene. You just KEEP revealing yourself, “bruh”. How you doin’?
you said it!
Im not white. I’m just not a sheep.. sorry
i’m still struggling with the hour we lost last weekend… i’m gonna have it together by the time the weather actually changes (y’all pray with me) LOL!
Stfu you rotten bag of meat
Go gel those fake baby hairs sis.
3:29 for me and I’m out . Cheers to the weekend
He doing just like Wendy !!!! Catch it , hey Ms Robert girl
I wouldn’t know anything about this “world” if it wasn’t for this blog. My world is so different. Haven’t heard of any of these people. Well, I heard of Kevin Durant.
very true. somebody knew where and when he was going to be there. And multiple shots to the head? Yeah that was personal.
(i hate yall…) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/adf60a6e2371eb61ed06e11e80488e695ce1b05aba500eece1116c5034cde3bf.gif
So Mr. hard wood floors ain’t have nothing to do with it?
Lol don’t be jelly ?
Go work on yo trolling…
For Mr. Uggs to be disrespectful (with his little ass) is disgusting…I still think that this was a setup…Cliff never seemed like the type to start any mess…someone knew where he was gonna be that night…
Ruggs responses were very immature… Are his hands clean??
They look like they may have had jerk circles with eachother
That thang?? He looked a lil frail
?
You mad, DEADBEAT!
That thug Rugs has no RESPECT for women…..that’s all you need to know about his character. #BAN
Perhaps , Ruggs had something to do with the this, given they have a business together
Worker
??EVERYBODY knew where he wld be that night. They were promoting his location on his bday flyer…
I always wondered if Mr. Ruggs is into men.
logout.
Nope ?
I’ve never heard of any of these people except Kevin Durant and Erica..but I’m very surprised that the promoter was so mean and disrespectful…I would THINK he would be morning the loss of a business partner and friend…very strange responses ?????
Smdh….Mr. RUGS probably set him up. with his disrespectfu dirtyl mouth #ripcliff
Tile-r said he ain’t create this….
This dude seems shady
Got bad vibes looking at his Instagram… Negative energy radiating thru the phone.
LOL!
Responses of a guilty conscious…even it was just getting on the mic to shut the party down it would have been better than continuing on with the celebration while the guest of honor was dead outside.
He looks questionable
It didn’t say when he’d arrive tho… Somebody was tipped off or waiting on him
he has a reckless mouth like a queen… certainly doesn’t talk like he ‘likes’ women. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68bc52b2a4f54f3dc0d4dea29ec0c12c203c19b65d4d18beb2fbbd13d0be6a55.gif
indeed! brings to mind an old saying… “do you kiss your mom with that mouth?!”
Who Mr. Rugs?
Honestly, to me, anyone that has a night club business is shady. Liquor, drugs, girls… can’t be healthy if that is your everyday life. It can be so dark and empty.
She must of sucked him off once or twice so she feels obligated.
Mr. Rugs looks like a worn out carpet???
??@ jerk circles
Since the other friend died a month earlier, I’m going to go with a set up. Also, Mr. Rugs and Cliff owned businesses together. Maybe Mr. Rugs was into some shady stuff Cliff didn’t know about and had to kill him to get total control of the business. It seems suspect to me.
Just a tragedy, no one should go out like that except murderers.
I sense “down-low energy” here….I will bet this is one the clubs where closeted gay dudes meet.
I have never heard the deceased but may he RIP.
Right! I’m always suspecting something until proven otherwise
Disturbing
Mighty mouse couldnt take the heat so he turned off the comments! Its sounds to me the guy who was killed may have had some beef and someone wanted to get even. U blantly shot a guy in a busy parking lot? Something don’t add up. Sad. May he R.I.P
?
Ruggs is one unlucky fella I recall some years back his brother or somebody died he was morning in IG and folks was like hmmm because I think before that his other brother or close friend had died as well? it seems like a lot of his close family and friends are dying. Ruggs is also close with fabulous or appease he rubs elbows with a lot of the rappers from NY and some other well known celebs I guess that’s because the business he in ?????
A lot of his close friends and family have died I recall when I started following him years ago his brother or close friend had died and folks was side eyeing it then and before that someone else has died I unfollowed him because I didn’t like how he would clap back at the women on his page and the vibe I got
Like how Clive Davis and nem continued to party while Nippy Laid dead beneath them taking bout she would have wanted the party to go on smh
Your absolutely right! Ruggs has so much death around him. Both of his brothers were killed in the same manner cliff was killed. Gunned down, and some how hes always friends with these men.
i see what you did there lol
Oh my. ?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68c699761c0183eb0043b1a6834ebe3630288242a04fc2ea0b07d5aa24b10036.jpg
Yes and very much like a sloth too!
He does. Has always been disrespectful.
Yeah – folks pretending like that club was exclusive with upscale clientele
Masika Kalysha looks like she’s probably bald under all that weave
?
I swear …. At least she was in the hotel room tho…not on the red carpet leaking
Yeah I saw those posts… He’s dark
It’s a real thang chile
Yes…agreed. Stick up boy to party promoter
Yea this is some foul sh*t. Story definitely ain’t adding up. But all will be revealed soon.
How did they bypass the person that actually committed the murder? That’s like when a man cheats, the other woman is to blame?????
I knew I wasn’t tripping it was some years back. I had to stop following dude he gave bad vibes through pics ? and I know folks grieve differently and I’m sure he didn’t post his grief online but homeboy was like the show must go on afternoon each death. He was still out in the scene purchased a new car showed it off on IG he just a weird dude
This is true ! True! Damn ?????
Well Damn!… Mr. Rugs didn’t have to be so mean & nasty about it tho… This is truly suspicious & sad!… May Mr. Dixon RIP!
I smell setup…
Yup, that thread spilled all the tea and predicted Cliff’s death while implicating Ruggs.
Yup, that thread spilled all the tea and predicted Cliff’s death while implicating Ruggs.
ACTUALLY THE WORD ON THE STREET IS MR. RUG’S OLD BUSINESS WAS BEING PART OF A ROBBING CREW AND A LOT OF HIS FRIENDS ARE STILL IN THAT BUSINESS. SO BALL PLAYERS, IG MODELS LIKE BERNICE AND RAPPERS LIKE FAB, ROZA & MEEK AREN’T THE ONLY TYPE OF PEOPLE IN HIS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS SO WHO KNOWS WHY CLIFF WAS KILLED……….JENNY JONES!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e6d1ca340946ed6678d4951a2f71f38807a33340f6389284226e8f2de91503ec.jpg
Right. Very strange indeed. I’d been beside myself & scared at the same time.
Truth…literally lying innwait to ambush him. Maybe he was even followed.
Oh wow! I just read about that robbing crew. I hope I don’t offend anyone but I don’t trust nan ninja from NY they all seem grimy af
Exactly
Your right
If you want to kill someone just go to this dudes club. Its they only place to hang out and all the washed up celebs will be there. Smh rip cliff
Yup all he do is party and fake floss
It’s silly to blame his friends. What are they going to do against a gun? It’s also silly to blame the promoter for an incident in the parking lot.

Righttttt
Heart attack then stroke.
Who doesn’t take care of your kid’s.
Stay away from demonic people and probability of these thing wont happen. Look at “Mr Ruggs” responses…thats a demonic person
that weave must be eating away at your brain cells.

yeah he was set up …
he promoted where he was going to be
for his birthday so they knew right where to go
people keep sleeping on atlanta …
ruthless
That bottle he’s holding is identical in shape to the shape of his head.
Why is Masika still around?
Thought Masika was Vivica A. Fox at first glance ??

“He was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital”
This could be part of the reason
