Kidd Creole is indicted in stab slaying

- Shayna Jacobs

HIP-HOP PIONEER Kidd Creole has been indicted in the fatal stabbing of a homeless man he encountere­d on the street, prosecutor­s said Tuesday.

The music legend, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, did not appear when his case was called in Manhattan Criminal Court but a grand jury voted in his case at some point during the day, the DA’s office said.

Glover, 57, allegedly told investigat­ors he felt threatened by the victim, ex-con John Jolly, whom he believed had made a pass at him as he walked past around E. 44th St. and Third Ave. on Aug. 1.

Glover, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, rose to fame as part of the South Bronx’s Grandmaste­r Flash and the Furious Five.

His indictment is still sealed. He’s due back in court for his next arraignmen­t on Aug. 23.

A group of friends and relatives were at the courthouse to support him but declined to be interviewe­d.

“We’re just waiting just like everybody else,” one man in the group said.
