Foolio's mom issues a statement

On Tuesday (June 25), Foolio's mother, Sandrikas Mays, who goes by Sandrikas1 on Instagram, posted about her son's recent killing in Tampa, Florida on June 22. In the post, which you can see below, there are numerous clips of Foolio showing him as a kid and his rise in the rap game.

“RIP Son… Charles Jones II 'Foolio' 'Real' Life Story Documentary Coming Soon,” he captioned the post. “The story only I can tell because I know the truths from the fakes, I think I'm the 'ONLY' mother who keeps it real, while most others know full well what was going on with their own sons, this has been going on since 2014 – 2015.”

He continued, “Some of these same women 'celebrating' your death are some of the same women who looked at me, sitting in my building I was their TEACHER and they were MY STUDENTS at an old age taking notes, let's not forget that The same women who bought your CDs for their children, let's not forget that these same women did the same thing you did to this music that I NEVER forgave.”

Sadrikas went on to say that she constantly urged Foolio to change his lifestyle. “Ask where his mom starts at home!!! They, not knowing that I stayed with you for this beef chit, sniffed you, begged you to take the stuff down and when they shot me 8 times, I let them die even mine changed!!!” he typed.

“THE INCORRECT TRUTH Only I can say soon…”, he added. “So Much Unreleased Coming Soon!!!”

Police are investigating the Foolio murder

Up-and-coming Jacksonville, Florida rapper Fulio was shot and killed outside a Holiday Inn in Tampa early Sunday morning. According to his lawyer, the rapper was in Tampa celebrating his 26th birthday when he was kicked out of a well-publicized Airbnb party. The event was moved to the Holiday Inn where Foolio and three other men were shot while sitting in a black Dodge Charger. Fulio was the only victim who did not survive.

I can guarantee you that they are going to follow up and make arrests in this case.”
