Rapper Superstar Pride, who gained notoriety a few months ago on TikTok for his song Painting Pictures, has been detained.
After killing a citizen of Panola County with a gun on July 19th, he has been charged with first-degree murder. Cadarrius Pride, better known as Superstar Pride, is a Mississippi-born musician. The rapper shot a man in Panola County in broad daylight on Wednesday of last week, and he has since been charged with first-degree murder.
Action News 5 reported that at around 12:30 p.m. on July 19, the Panola County Sheriff’s Office went to a residence on Highway 35. A 40-year-old man named Marcus Wheatley was found dead, with what appeared to be gunshot wounds. Authorities linked the rapper from Painting Pictures to the incident during their investigation, designating him as the case’s top suspect.
Mary Ann Strong, the victim’s grandmother, reportedly saw the crime, according to News Channel 3. Strong stated that Pride’s barber was Wheatley. According to the witness, she witnessed the rapper enter Wheatley’s home and use a gun to chase him out. Gunshots were fired during the altercation, and Wheatley was ultimately shot to death.
The rapper, according to Strong, “shot about three times after he [Wheatley] fell and he walked over to me and he pointed the gun at me and asked if I was going to tell it.” Strong reported that the rapper returned to the location where the victim was lying and fired one last shot at his head before leaving the area in a red pickup.
Pride Anderson’s father, Jeffery Anderson, stated, “It’s still something that needs to be investigated to see exactly what happened. It’s simply so early right now. According to the reports, the murder’s motive is a mystery.
