JayZ gets death threat over documentar­y

-

Rapper Jay-Z has received a death threat from a gunman George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is threatenin­g to “beat Jay-Z” and feed him to “an alligator” after claiming that a production team of the upcoming Trayvon Martin documentar­y — produced by Jay-Z — “harassed” his family, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Zimmerman, who gunned down 17-year-old Martin in February 2012, said that he has a score to settle with Jay-Z since the rapper’s production team began filming a new documentar­y on the case. He said that the film crew made unannounce­d visits to the homes of his parents and an uncle in Florida, noting Jay-Z and executive producer Michael Gasparro indirectly “harassed” his family.

“I know how to handle people who f**k with me. I have since February 2012,” Zimmerman told web portal The Blast. He added that “anyone who f***s with my parents will be fed to an alligator.”

Jay-Z is producing a sixpart documentar­y called Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, which is based on attorney Lisa Bloom’s book Suspicion Nation.

The project will chronicle the very short life of Martin, his fatal shooting on February 26, 2012, and Zimmerman’s acquittal the following year.

Meanwhile rapper Snoop Dogg responded to Zimmerman’s threats: “If one hair on Jays hair is touched that’s when the revolution will b televised... Trayvon Martin Gone but not forgotten.”
