Rapper Gillie Da Kid claims 17-Year-Old Noah Scurry killed his son before being shot dead

Gillie Da Kid says police informed him that slain basketball star Noah Scurry was behind his son’s murder.

Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid says police told him that 17-year-old basketball star Noah Scurry was responsible for his son Devin Spady’s (YNG Cheese) murder before Scurry was killed in a separate shooting.

Scurry was shot 17 times on January 14, 2025, while walking with his mother in Philadelphia. Police linked him to the July 2023 murder of Spady, 25, but he was killed before an arrest could be made.

"The only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered," Gillie told Shannon Sharpe.

He added that police had planned to charge Scurry, but his death prevented them from moving forward. “The kid had just got shot 17 times—he was walking with his mom and got murdered. Then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.”

"These kids are influenced by all the wrong things. ... These kids actually think that you can't make it as a rapper unless you k*lled somebody. This is the mindset" - @gilliedakid pic.twitter.com/1PTuRXeGoq

Gillie described Scurry’s killing as "divine justice." "He had to deal with God, that’s how I look at it."

Authorities have not publicly confirmed Scurry’s involvement in Spady’s death. Investigations into both murders are ongoing.

Gillie, born Nasir Fard, is a rapper and podcast host known for his work in Major Figgas and claims of ghostwriting for Lil Wayne. He co-hosts the popular Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast and has been outspoken about gun violence in Philadelphia following his son’s death.
