Kay Flock was reportedly arrested on December 24 after he killed a man earlier this month. A recent tweet by DJ Akademiks says that the rapper was reported to have murdered the man outside a barbershop.

Flock had problems with the 24-year-old man, whose name is said to be Oscar Hernandez. Reports from various sources say he murdered the man on December 16, and NYPD’s official Twitter account mentions a homicide alongside a blurred screenshot that appears to be from CCTV footage.


DJ Akademiks disclosed that Flock was wanted for homicide, and he reportedly shot and killed the individual at Manhattan’s Amsterdam Avenue.

Worryingly, various other rappers have been arrested for alleged crimes in the last few months. The list is too long and includes names like Silento, Top5, SpottemGottem, Wisdom Awute, and more.

Accusations on Kay Flock

The official Twitter account of DJ Akademiks says that according to the police, Kay Flock went to a barbershop and saw Oscar Hernandez, with whom he had some personal issues.

Both argued, eventually walking out of the shop, where the rapper lost his cool and pointed his gun at Oscar. Reports say Flock shot the man in the neck and back and wore a mask while shooting.

NYPD’s official Twitter account released a “Wanted” poster of Flock before they nabbed him and mentioned him as a perpetrator in the possible cause of arrest.
