Gillie Da Kid stunned Shannon Sharpe on Tuesday’s episode of Club Shay Shay when he claimed Noah Scurry, the Philadelphia teen basketball star who was fatally shot last month in his hometown, was responsible for the death of Gillie’s son, Devin Spady, who went by YNG Cheese.
The Million Dollaz Worth of Game host first pointed out how silly it was that people were blaming the Illuminati and claiming he sacrificed his son for success. That’s when Sharpe asked if Gillie had spoken to the person who shot his son. “Nah I never met him,” Gillie replied. “Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered.
He added, “Cause the kid had just got shot 17 times he was walking with his mom and he got murdered and 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.”
Later in the conversation, Sharpe—who seemingly didn’t realize that Gillie had mentioned earlier in the conversation that police told him Scurry was responsible for his son’s death—brought up Scurry again while discussing gun violence in Philly and how up-and-coming athletes were once “protected” in their neighborhoods.
Gillie calmly explained that the person in question was responsible for the death of his son, who was 25 years old when he was shot in July 2023. “That’s who killed my son,” he responded, leading to an awkward silence.
Scurry, 17,—a rising basketball star in the area—was fatally shot in January, per TMZ. He reportedly released his first solo drill song “SWING MY DOOR” under the rap name on YouTube on Jan. 13 and was shot and killed outside his home shortly after.
Gillie explained that his son was “in the wrong place at the wrong time” when a group came to shoot the block up. “My son’s not from that block,” he said. “He just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s how deep it is.”
“You don’t understand, he got videos out where he got a Joker mask on, bunch of guns in his hand,” Gillie added. “These kids are influenced by all the wrong things. The shit that don’t matter. The shit that once upon a time when I was growing up in the ghetto, I was influenced by.”
“That’s what we grew up in. These kids don’t know no better,” he added. “These kids actually think you can’t make it as a rapper unless you killed somebody. Unless you did something out here in these streets. This is the mindset.”
The Philly native admitted he does not know where this current mindset comes from, especially since his idols growing up were those who made money.
Gillie previously opened up on The Pivot Podcast about the moment when he became a man while performing an Islamic tradition following the death of his son.
“The worst time had to be when I had to wash his body,” he said. “But it was also the best because I became a man that day. I was a little-ass boy up to that point. I thought I was a man because I did man shit — I paid bills, y’know what I mean, I took care of my family.”
“It was a gift and a curse,” he continued. “It was a good thing and a bad thing because it was a very painful thing to see your son laying there, cold and stiff, but I know I sent him off right, y’know what I mean, and in Islam, that’s a big thing — sending them off right.”
