5. Dolla
Atlanta rapper Dolla, born Roderick Anthony Burton II, never lived to see the release of his debut album. In one of the songs off his self-titled album named Georgia Nights, the up-and-coming star raps, “You see the rain on my window pane/Waking up in cold sweats having dreams of going out with a bang/My poppa died by the gun, I’ll die by the gun.”
Months after the song was recorded, Dolla and some associates of his attacked Atlanta event promoter Aubrey Berry in an Atlanta nightclub.
Just later that same month, they heckled Berry outside a restaurant in L.A. before tailing him to his car. Berry took out a gun and shot 21-year-old Dolla to death four times in self-defense. Dolla really did end up dying by the gun.
