Crazy thing is both happened on the same day which leaves the question, are they connected? We’re going to chop it up and break it down and detail what just may be the cause that led to the series of unfortunate events that claimed the life of one and left the other fighting to survive.
Friday September 17th, Florida Highway Patrol responded to a possible road rage incident involving a shooting around 3am. The victims, rapper Spotemgottem and a driver. The driver reportedly informed officers what went down, stating they were driving southbound on I-95 when gunshots started ringing out from another car. The vehicle was sprayed with gunfire 22 times, 5 of which struck Spotemgottem as well as hitting the driver in the hip. Both were taken to the local hospital. News began circulating online, listing Spotemgottem in critical condition
Spotemgottem’s manager, Dee Phatboy,
backed up the story with TMZ stating the car that pulled up to carry out the hit shot up Spotemgottem’s ride with an automatic weapon, but stated that he is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. He also revealed that Spotemgottem was leaving a record studio in Miami, which led the internet to piece the puzzle together.

Earlier that night Spotemgottem reposted a vid of him in the studio https://youtu.be/4mwX5smFrmw (0:12-0:15) which gave away his location due to the popular interior of the House of Hits Miami Recording Studio that is a recording spot for many rappers.
This is the connection being made as to how they found his location. As to who may have wanted the rapper gone. We recently did a video detailing the rapper’s situation with the law
along with his alleged street beef, and snitching rumors that got him kicked out of his gang Y&R aka Young and Reckless
so there’s many persons that may have a target on his head. But one rapper he has been beefing with in particular is being speculated to have a hand in his attempted hit. None other than the Jacksonville savage and Yungeen Ace ATK affiliate Whoppa Wit Da Choppa.
After news broke about Spotemgottem being shot up, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa jumped online to show his excitement, awaiting confirmation of Spotemgottem’s death so he could light up a pack.
It’s wild how dudes be happy to hear someone dying from their own city when there’s so much more money and positivity to pass around if united, but that’s the life of the streets they signed up for and they seem to be fine taking that oath to the grave, sadly. Lucky for Spotemgottem he survived shots to his legs and spine after he later revealed in a Facetime with Say Cheese that he was nearly left paralyzed by two shots in his back that just barely missed his spine.
As if the failed hit on his life wasn’t enough, the hip hop community would be hit with a double whammy. Around 6am on that same Friday, the body of a man was found in front a home on Northwest 6th Terrace and 9th Court https://youtu.be/qRydGkP7MRU
While officers held back from releasing the name of the victim, family and friends around the body ID’d the victim to social media as that of Sniper Gang member Wisdom Williams aka WizDaWizard. Reports state that his life might have been taken elsewhere and brought to that location which is the neighborhood he grew up in. Cause for his death is still being kept under wraps, but the Captain of Hallandale Police Department, Megan Jones started that there was trauma noticed about his body https://youtu.be/mUb_6QbU_j8 (1:13-1:21) This leads to reason that WizDaWizard was maybe beaten until he passed.

Initial speculations lead to everyone suspecting Kodak Black due to the recent falling out between him and his Sniper Gang artist, WizDaWizard. At first fans were fanning the flames, but Wiz shut down any rumors of bad waters in their camp https://youtu.be/K4xmxrwd5aY (0:00-0:14) But that soon changed after Wiz claimed he was signed for 30K to the label and wasn’t even aware of it https://youtu.be/ka04MdYfJac (8:39-8:47) Another case of rappers signing on the line without reading through their contract. But in his defense, him and Yak go way back since they became friends in Juve and been tight ever since https://youtu.be/-INkbF32sBA (6:17-6:29) https://youtu.be/OVVR1z3NYnk
So he probably signed in good faith. But WiDaWizard dealt with the situation with a calm mind. Instead of coming at Yak sideways, he requested to be out the label by buying out his contract because he claims Yak was blocking him from signing to another label https://youtu.be/ka04MdYfJac (8:19-8:38) https://youtu.be/bpiOpuD9DP8 (0:15-0:44) Yak wasn’t having it and spoke up to clear his name, pushing back against WizDaWizard’s claims https://youtu.be/bLsK4IUZUlI (0:25-1:15) This lead to a back and forth that just seemed to frustrate Yak even more
Things were getting out of hand, but eventually the love they had as brothers that came up through the mud prevailed and the beef seemed to die down https://youtu.be/IjYs7_sm0dg (16:24-17:26) https://youtu.be/Djzi1ZMXXo8 (1:11-1:42)
Whether Wiz got out his deal or not is uncertain, but bro was real life hurt that him and Yak fell out and later said it was dudes in Yak’s ear tryna tear apart the duo because together it was straight pressure https://youtu.be/bafHmGPfbF0
Yak was bound to be the first person to blame because of their falling out, but it never sounded that serious to where blood needed to be spilled. People are forgetting that WizDaWizard didn’t just become street when he joined Sniper Gang. Wiz has a deep history in the street life and one in particular instance might be the reason for what happened to him. From since his younger days, Wiz was a savage.
In 2015, a 17-year-old WizDaWizard was arrested on outstanding warrants for burglary, aggravated assault and resistance without violence. According to authorities, Wiz was a juvenile gang leader. Him and his gang were known to kick in the front doors of residences and steal jewelry, electronics, personal information and anything else of value. Officers state that Wiz and his gang were responsible for 100 burglaries, so bro was moving in them streets. https://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/01/29/bso-6-month-investigation-leads-to-arrest-of-juvenile-gang-leader/
https://www.local10.com/news/2015/01/30/alleged-ringleader-in-broward-county-burglary-ring-arrested/
October 2016 is the moment that WizDaWizard’s fate was set in stone. That night, gunfire erupted on the 700 block of Northwest Seventh Avenue, in Hallandale Beach. The victims, 19-year-old Wajiyb Williams and a 17-year-old friend, ran and later collapsed not far down the street, off Foster Road. Both were transported to Memorial Regional hospital where Williams succumbed to his injuries. That 19-year-old, was WizDaWizard’s brother.

The speculated suspect that took his brother’s life, Denzell Williams became his target the following year in 2017.
Visiting his grandmother, Denzell stopped to take a leak beside the house when he noticed a black Nissan with two occupants pull up. The window rolled down and Denzell recognized one with a hoodie, WizDaWizard. Wiz upped the pole and shot behind Denzell but he escaped with his life. He would later point out Wiz in a photo line up with the cops, after which WizDaWizard was arrested on attempted murder charges. The case was still ongoing but that would soon change. Around 1:30pm August 22nd 2020, Amber Campbell crossed the street to her neighbor, Denzell Williams, who was walking his dog, when both were murked https://youtu.be/6fZOJ7mUAjI (0:45-1:08)
Police was informed by close friends and family about a case in which Denzell was to testify in and that may have been the reason why he was targeted, stating Amber was simply collateral damage https://youtu.be/PjeMoKoD3u4 (1:29-1:38) The case in question was the one against WizDaWizard, so even though the suspect was never found in Denzell’s murder, rumor always had it that Wiz was the one that put out the hit as he was the one standing to benefit most from Denzell being gone. With the only witness to his case dead, WizDaWizard’s attempted murder case was dropped and he was a free man again.
But not because the law didn’t have the evidence to keep him locked, means that the streets forget. To make matters worse, Wiz was still heavily in the streets and talking greasy to anyone wanting smoke. Maybe he started thinking he was untouchable after beating his case or maybe he just didn’t care after losing his bro https://youtu.be/RtnYvLj7rcE This might be what led to him being did dirty. A text message began circulating on media outlets supposedly from someone who saw the body when it was found. There has been no confirmation as yet, but if its true then the attack on Wiz seemed personal, which adds credibility to it being retaliation for a deed he did in the past to someone else. The text stated that Wiz was dismembered, head and all.
It’s truly sad to lose another talent in hip hop. After surviving the streets and making your way up in the rap game getting money, it’s messed up to lose your life so barbaric too. RIP to Wiz and all those whose street affiliations came back to collect on what’s due.
For what it’s worth, there’s some good news with Spotemgottem as he was on live for the first time after the shooting laughing with his homies in good spirits https://youtu.be/WOFFyOR2g-0 Hope he stays focused on the music and steps away from the street life and the unnecessary beef. Him and Wiz would have made hits together, but sadly that’ll never be possible https://youtu.be/npE18cV2AOs (0:27-1:04)
Catch you all in the next one. Peace up and peace out.
