We need black leadership and role models for one. Most of the visibly successful blacknmen in this city are athletes from the US. We need to an ability to have our own role models and story tellers. When is the last time you saw a TV show or movie that focuses on black people in Toronto or the GTA? If you did was it violent? We have nobody that tells our story so that we feel a sense of pride, accomplishment, and achievement. Real talk. We're extremely underrepresented in the media unless it comes to sports or music. We also need jobs. Good paying jobs. Jobs that attract young men instead of selling dope. And we need lower rent, or better access to mortgage funds. We live check to check or month to month, doing what we need to make ends meet today, instead of playing the long game... This is all by design, and this city is only gentrifying at an alarmingly fast rate. Forcing certain people into very specific neighborhoods. We're fukked for the foreseeable future.

You think good jobs will attract nikkas who want to live a fast life?

I highly doubt that breh. The problem starts and ends with no leadership or guidance in the family. Broken homes. Useless fathers.

Peel police have arrested a Brampton man for firearm-related offences connecting back to the 2020 homicide of Dimarjio Jenkins, known as up-and-coming rapper Houdini.

Jenkins was shot near King Street West and Peter Street on the afternoon of May 25, 2020. He was 21 years old. A few weeks later, on June 9, two people were injured in a shooting at a memorial being held for Jenkins.

In June 2021, police said they'd arrested three people in connection with the crime and that three others were being sought.

Last week, more than two years after the murder, officers found two firearms in a car near Eglinton Avenue East and Dixie Road in Mississauga.

After, police say, they realized a 19-year-old in the car was wanted on a nationwide warrant. He was taken into custody and later appeared in court in Brampton.

He is not being identified by police as he was under the age of 18 at the time of Jenkins' homicide.
