Keith Murray recounts another crazy incident in which he and Nas narrowly avoided being robbed in Queens, New York.
In the most recent part of his conversation with The Art of Dialogue, Murray described an uncomfortable situation he and Nas encountered. The rapper from the Def Squad claimed he was on Jamaica Avenue shopping with a friend and their children when he spotted two males off to the side and kept an eye on them.
Keith MShe’s Praying for ‘Legend’ Keith Murray – Shawnna urray opted to keep moving in an effort to avoid the two men’s alleged stickup squad since he thought they were planning to rob him and his friend. As soon as they arrived at the vehicle, Murray reported seeing Nas in the roadway with some heavy jewelry.
“All of a sudden, I make the left and then in the street comes Nas,” he recalled. “He has on the big bracelet that we used to get. Everybody had the bracelets and everything and then there was another rapper over there — I ain’t going to say his name — and he’s like, ‘Yo, go down there, go that way.”
Murray said the situation felt weird when Nas directed him to go elsewhere. Regardless, he embraced Nas right before someone randomly popped up behind him and took action.
“Nas is coming out the barbershop and we all cross paths, and then Nas is, like, wrestling,” he continued. “I bump into him, he bump into me, and I’m putting the kids in the car. Then Nas is like, ‘No, no, not here, not here, no’ and Nas is wrestling with the bracelet.”
“I’m getting in the car, and I’m already looking at these n-ggas trying to play their gangsta shit.”
Murray claimed that since the vehicle he was using belonged to Erick Sermon, it was simple for him to enter and exit locations secretly. To assist Nas, he thought about ramming the attackers with the car, but then he recalled there were children inside.
“I’m looking in the rear-view mirror as it’s going on,” he added. “I’m not knowing if the n-ggas is trying to come get me or go get Nas ’cause n-ggas is trying to get whatever n-ggas got. Nas got the bracelet that’s like $4,000 in diamonds and I got a wad of money, and Nas got the wad of money and I got the truck.”
He continued: “If I hit the n-gga then the cops is gonna come get us because the vehicle is going to be at the scene of the crime. So I can’t save Nas. I got to go; I got the kids. But I’m keeping my cool like, ‘Oooh I got the two two right here, oooh these suckers.”
Murray acknowledged that he was unable to tell if Nas or himself were being set up. He inquired about the identity of the men, but the Queensbridge rapper just responded that it was “a close one.”
The 48-year-old has recently been gathering media attention. One of the main topics of discussion from his interview with The Art of Dialogue was the purported sexual encounters he had with Shawnna and Foxy Brown, both of whom denied it.
Saigon, a fellow rapper from New York, alleged that Keith Murray texted him and said he was trying to get viral by trolling people.
“Keith Murray hit me and said ‘Saigon I bet U I can be trending overnight… He said these people out here are stupid and pretty much sheep who will follow, engage and partake in anything’.. Guess he was right,” Saigon tweeted. “Are we really this freaking slow in 2023… Lol.”
