Summary
- Fifteen-year-old Javits Frimpong was fatally shot on his way to school.
- Cardi B believes bullying culture contributes to violence.
- She advised parents to avoid raising children in the Bronx.
Rapper Cardi B recently addressed the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, a student from the Bronx who was allegedly murdered by bullies on his way to school. The incident, which occurred on a Thursday morning last week, has prompted the Bronx-born artist to share her thoughts on bullying and violence.
Frimpong, who had recently relocated from Ghana, was reportedly shot once in the stomach. His father identified bullies as suspects, noting their recent suspension from school for tormenting his son. Cardi B questioned the motives behind such violence and shared her personal experiences with bullying, suggesting it could lead individuals to join gangs for protection.
Expressing deep concern for child safety, Cardi B advised parents considering moving to the East Coast to choose Pennsylvania over New York City. She stated she would not raise her own children in the Bronx or enroll them in public schools there. Police are currently seeking three teenage boys in connection with Frimpong's death.
