With the demise of multiple young talented (mostly black) rappers such as King Von, Nipsey Hussle, Bankroll Fresh, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion, Juice Wrld, Young Dolph, Mo3 and others who have had something to do with Empire records, many have the notion in mind that there is a link between the fall of all these artists as many of their death look like a mystery yet to be solved.

   One major link between these artists is their record label. Of course contemporary artists usually have opposition's, feuds, beefs and general gang related issues due to the lifestyle they be living, but many are of the opinion that there is a series of serial killing going on especially in the music (rap) industry and this can only be liked to the parties controlling the rappers (record labels)

An important question which comes to mind is "WHY".. why will a billion dollar worth record label be slaughtering it's talented artists?

The answer is not far fetched, "Insurance Policy". It's no news that Record labels take out Insurance funds when an artist dies. 

Using Empire records as an instance here, amongst the papers an artist signs includes the agreement that a particular sum of money, usually in millions of dollars will be paid to the record label at the death of the artist.

Which gives many the impression that at some point, the label could set that artist up using his opposition's, friends or straight up eliminate that artist for those insurance benefits.. There could be some truth to this, but there is no evidence and hence this is just more or less a conspiracy theory.

One will be surprised at the number of rap lovers who actually think Ghazi Shami (CEO of Empire Records) is slaughtering young rappers.. There is no absolute proof that this information is right or wrong, these are all allegations.

Ghazi Shami is one of the famous names in the American music industry. He is widely recognized for creating the renowned record label Empire Distribution, Records and Publishing Inc. Before founding the company, he was a music techie who had also pursued a degree in the field.

 


Empire has produced music for celebrated artists like 50 Cent, XXXTentacion, Benny the Butcher, Hayley Kiyoko, Nef the Pharaoh, The Foreign Exchange, Rapper Big Pooh, Keak Da Sneak, and others. Shami founded the company in 2010 in California, USA.

Of course there are so many other artists signed under Empire records who have stood the test of time, and according to these allegations, should have died long ago. Also there are artists who have had similar looking deaths and had no business whatsoever with Empire records.

  A more rational thinking will be that these artists might not be innocent, it's an action and reaction equation going down, the energy you put out, bounces back to you, he who kills by the sword, dies by the sword. Some of these artists are shooters themselves and these labels know that for a fact, most of them are street gangsters with much rivals and always have to watch their backs. 

  We watch them rap about killing and shooting and all that gun violence, thats because that's what's up in their head 24/7. These labels know their life is already endangered, so they sign them and give them a bit of fame, and then wait till they are caught in their own nemesis.

This might be a more rational way of thinking things out..Again, these are all Allegations and up until now, there is no solid evidence that Ghazi Shami or Empire Records or any label is killing their artists for Insurance benefits.
