A Las Vegas rapper has been arrested after police say he confessed to a murder in the lyrics of his music video. Kenjuan McDaniel, 25, who performs as The Biggest Finn4800, faces a charge of murder with a deadly weapon over the death of Randall Wallace.
Mr Wallace was fatally shot on 18 September 2021 following an argument with three unidentified individuals at an apartment complex. Mr McDaniel was initially named a person of interest because of his connection to a vehicle matching the description of one used in the crime.
However, it was a music video posted on YouTube in July that drew the attention of a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detective. In the video for his song 'Fadee Free', Mr McDaniel allegedly rapped about taking Mr Wallace's life, providing details that had not been made public.
According to the arrest warrant, the lyrics included lines such as 'Brought it with that fire, hear that ‘ah’, see your body twitching', which police say correlates with evidence that the victim twitched as he died. Another line stated, 'I be the reason why he’s dead, we still taunt him when he die'.
The warrant noted that the music video bore a 'sufficient level of similarity to the details of the murder' and 'further validated the results of the investigation'. The video also reportedly showed the rapper re-enacting the killing in a way consistent with the scene.
