Hip Hop News: Jay Z Speaks About the Death of Chinx at Second B-Side Concert

During Jay Z’s second B-Sides concert tonight (May 17) at New York City’s Terminal 5, Hov took some time out of hisperformance to speak on the death of Chinx. “Young man got killed in Queens, his name was Chinx,” he said. “I can’t understand that we’re seriously under attack like never before. Rest in Peace to Chinx and we’re still killing each other. We need to understand that we are kings and queens.”

Early this morning it was reported that Chinx was fatally shot in Queens, NY. As soon as the news broke hip-hop artists and friends took to social media to share their memories of Chinx and pay respect to their friend. Meek Mill got Travis $cott and Strap to pay tribute to Chinx and Lil Snupe—who was killed in 2013—with a new song.

Saturday night (May 16), Jay Z performed the first B-Sides concert. The concert is to promote Jay’s recently launched and much debated music streaming service, Tidal.
