Fetty Wap Collaborator Tripple Beanz Murder Caught By Security Camera
NEWARK, NJ – Emerging New Jersey rapper Tripple Beanz was fatally killed in a Newark, New Jersey shooting last Friday (November 27). The 29-year-old was walking to his parked car when a pair of masked gunmen hopped out of their vehicle and shot him multiple times from close range in a brutal execution before running off.
According to the Essex County Police Department, no arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing, but a security camera captured footage of the murder in broad daylight, which should help in identifying the assailants.
Beanz — born Corey Thompson – is best known for his gritty Fetty Wap collaboration “Let’s Get It.” He also worked with Gunplay and released his menacing “Dumb Shit” single in October.
An Orange, New Jersey recording studio Beanz would often work out of memorialized the late rapper.
“A superstar in the making and more importantly family here,” DFG Recording Studio’s account wrote. “Genuinely was tryna change his life around. This was a man who WORKED and had SO MUCH TALENT.”
