*The feds are looking into whether
Queens drug kingpin Kenneth (Supreme)
McGriff is behind the death of Jam Master
Jay because the deejay ignored an industry
blacklist of 50 Cent.
The information, obtained by the Smoking
Gun web site, appeared in a 2003 affidavit
used by federal agents to obtain a search
warrant for the offices of record label Murder
Inc., founded by McGriffs longtime associate
Irving (Irv Gotti) Lorenzo. The document
eveals that McGriff had been keeping tabs
on 50s whereabouts with the ultimate plan
of his shooting death. Beef between the two
reportedly began in 2000, when Fif released
a song called "Ghetto Koran" that included
details about McGriff's "Supreme Team"
drug gang.
"The investigation has uncovered a
conspiracy involving McGriff and others
to murder a rap artist who has released
songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's
criminal activities," the affidavit reads.
"The rap artist was shot in 2000, survived
and thereafter refused to cooperate with
the law enforcement regarding the shooting.
Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc.
pager indicate that McGriff is involved in
an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist and
that he communicates with Murder Inc.
employees concerning the target."
McGriff is currently facing multiple
murder charges in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Gotti and his brother Chris will also go on
trial on charges of laundering McGriff's
drug cash through the record company.
The affidavit also says that 50 was
"blacklisted in the recording industry"
shortly after the release of Ghetto Koran.
According to Internal Revenue Service
agent Francis Mace, the Oct. 30, 2002,
murder of Jam Master Jay, the former
Run-DMC deejay whose real name was
Jason Mizell, may be tied to the drama
between McGriff and 50 Cent.
"Law enforcement agents are
investigating the possibility that Mizell was
murdered for defying the blacklist of 50
Cent," agent Mace wrote.
Jam Master Jay, 37, was shot and killed
by masked gunmen who burst into his 24-7
recording studio in downtown Jamaica. His
murder is still unsolved.
