This and the other Chris Lighty "thread" are pathetic.
Here's the story from The Daily News
----------------------
Hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty died Thursday morning after he shot himself after an argument with his estranged wife at his Bronx apartment, sources told the Daily News.
Lighty, 44 — a longtime manager of 50 Cent, Diddy, Ja Rule and Mariah Carey — stepped outside his South Riverdale apartment about 11:30 a.m., after a spat with his wife, Veronica, police sources said.
Suddenly, a gun shot was heard and Lighty was found lying faceup with a 9-mm. pistol next to his body, sources said.
Law enforcement sources said Lighty — whose wife filed for divorce last year — may have been dealing with financial struggles, including owing about $5 million to the IRS.
Lighty, founder of Violator Management, merged with another talent company to form Primary Violator around the time of his divorce.
Musicians began Tweeting about Lighty soon after news of his death spread.
“R.I.P CHRIS LIGHTY THE MAN THAT SAVED MY LIFE!!!” Bronx rapper Fat Joe posted on Twitter. “I Would Be Nothing Without YOU!!! My Kids Appreciate YOU God Bless Chris Lighty.”

" I can not believe that the man who gave me my 1st big break killed himself. Even though he has effected my life in many bad ways he has also given me what ever name I have. R.i.P Chris Lighty."
" People are telling me "Good Joe" this is the guy who tried to crush u. Imagine like this. If we were mortal enemies and I killed him personally in battle I would have held his body, prayed for his soul and gave him the burial of a King. Im feeling a very strange emotion now that is brand new to me. R-i-p Baby Chris"
" Last time I saw this man he stuffed 3500$ in my pocket and handed me a Leather Violator Jacket. I was young nuts and stupid. It was my fault Chris! Im sorry brother..Im so sorry.
