More Info About Kibbie Walker, "named after St. Kibbie no doubt," Associated With Red Hot, Controversial Video Allegedly Referencing Gang Related Murder At Epic Nightclub...

Facebook photo used under First Amendment Fair Comment and Criticism,
also JNS blog asserted public safety exception, also (joke font) "man in red socks
exception" to copyright, (end joke font) blog post by John Hoff

Kibbie Shakeel Akbark Walker (DOB 4/10/91) who calls himself "Prince Kibbie," was repeatedly named in discussion about a music video that came to the attention of this blog after an anonymous commenter asserted the video was referencing the Epic Nightclub shooting of Tyrone Washington

Discussion about that video has shattered, destroyed, and blown away all previous page view records here on Johnny Northside. I will have the final numbers at the end of the day but page views are currently in the five digit range. I've never seen anything like it. 

This red hot anthem of the streets being discussed is part of an album called... 


..."Da Movement," the cover of which is featured on Prince Kibbie's Facebook page.



The particular song which is the subject of so much discussion is Number 5, "Kobe Diss." I assume the word "diss" means "to deliberately disrespect" but it's not obvious to me whether the "diss" in the context of the song is FROM Kobe or DIRECTED AT Kobe. As comedian Phil Harkin said, while imitating Frank Sinatra, "I got nothing. It's all pops and clicks." 

A police source confirmed for me that "Prince Kibbie" is "Kibbie Walker," and MNCIS allowed me to look up Kibbie's criminal record. I must say, his record isn't terrible compared to many criminals I write about. He has a conviction for a domestic assault and another conviction for fleeing a police officer. (A weapons charge was dismissed) Both were in 2011 and (unlike so many other criminals who don't pay their fines) Walker has paid his fines like a Poindexter P. Prudence. 

But he wasn't so prudent in this photo...



Posted in May of 2013, date taken unknown. What appears to be an extended magazine on a firearm is hanging out of his pocket. 

Here's the obligatory "hand signs" photo.  Judging by the clothing, it was taken about the same time as the photo at the top of the page. 


In regard to the photo of the album, at first I didn't look closely and assumed it was just some kind of urban background image. However, looking at the image closely I recognize this is the intersection of Lyndale Ave. N. and West Broadway, standing near the gas station. This is one of the hottest pieces of gang territory in the city. Clearly, the photo has some kind of meaning and, in context, I would presume it's a territorial claim of some kind. 

I would like to add something about the discussion of the song. There has been commentary to the effect one of the singers in the song is some kind of poser, because (allegedly) he didn't do the things in the song he is stating in the "first person." 

(Wow, that was an unusual use of "allegedly") 

However, songs do this kind of thing all the time. It is not necessary for the only people singing "Born In The USA" to be Vietnam war vets with a hard time readjusting to civilian life. A song is a song and not a sworn statement or testimony under oath. 

But what's worrisome, and what is the subject of so much discussion on that other thread...

Is the possibility the singer of the song, the producer of the video and assorted hangers-on know PLENTY about the circumstances described in the lyrics, PLENTY being defined as "stuff the police would love to know so murders can be solved." 

Oh, I should say something about my headline. The quote is a throwaway remark by my police contact, who jokingly opined Kibbie was "named after St. Kibbie no doubt."

(Joke font)

According to my well-worn Psycho Cyclopedia Of Saints Of The Hood, St. Kibbie was martyred in 1997 A.D. when falsely imprisoned over the death of a rival gang member. Kibbe was not responsible for the murder and, indeed, had reason to know it was because of internal infighting within the rival gang. But, sticking to an ultra-strict interpretation of the "Code of The Streets," Kibbie would say nothing. 

Tried and convicted, the whole time knowing his enemy was to blame, Kibbe refused to snitch to authorities. After a long and brutal imprisonment, where Kibbie was a model to other prisoners because of his adherence to the Code of The Streets, (resulting in many conversions to The Code by his example) Kibbe was murdered by gang rivals to assure his silence. His dying words were reportedly, "I know who did it, but streets gone take care of that man. Peace out, (racial expletive)." 

In 2001 A.D., Kibbie was canonized after two verified miracles were attributed to him: First, a bag of dope disappeared from a thrice-locked evidence room and its absence resulted in the dismissal of a dead-to-rights felony drug charge and, secondly, a gun misfired during a gang assassination at a downtown nightclub, resulting in the lingering death of the assailant, who at the last minute converted to the Code of the Streets.

St. Kibbie is the patron saint of gangsters forced to rely upon "janky" guns, evidentiary loopholes, and gangsters who fear they will lose their lives because of "slipping."

As many people that were in the video and as many people who have the mixtape cover on their fb, why go after kibbie? Not to mention he wasnt even rapping in the "kobe diss" video, just in the backround with 100 other people. You said it yourself "A song is a song, not a sworn statement or testimony under oath". You also stated that he doesnt have a long history of crime compared to others criminals you have wrote about and that kibbie has paid all his fines. So what is it exactly that you are trying to prove or say?!

In those red/orange socks he looks like he's part of 90's rap duo Kris Kross.

Yeah, those socks...

They're wiggedy wiggedy wiggedy WHACK, man.

Johnny Northside! said...

In response to the question of why I wrote about Kibbie instead of the others...

It's simple. My police contact gave me Kibbie's real name, Kibbie Walker, which allowed me to look up stuff on MNCIS and get records. I could also find his Facebook page. So between the two, I could do an informative blog post on him. The others, I need legal names and I need Facebook pages. If I have that stuff, I can dig into those facts.

Oh, also because looking at his page quickly linked him to the music video at issue because of the picture of the album he has on display. And, finally, I can never resist a Facebook photo of somebody posing with a gun.

So I hope that explains it. If I can get solid info (names and Facebook pages) I will be more than happy to dig into the individuals associated with this video or, for that matter, with the other side of the beef. Time permitting, of course.

All that was b.s.

I just have an unreasonable hatred of red/orange socks.

Everyone discussing ty but no one really knew him. It's sad black on black crime, all of these senseless deaths. And for what street cred. No one cares about taking another human being life. It doesn't make you a hero,it makes you weak.

Clubs like Epic and Aqua should be shut down. You bring in "artists" like Yo Gotti and anyone from GBE and bad stuff will happen. Once it's demonstrably happened over and over, their license should be pulled.

Want a cheap thrill? Google "Yo Gotti"+"shooting" to see how many of his 'appearances' feature active shooters.

Yeah, it would appear "Yo Gotti" and "shooting" isn't the most SPECIFIC and FOCUSED set of search terms.

THEY probably set up these "concerts" KNOWING every ilk and their bro will come to set up yet ANOTHER murder of somebody they got a beef with. NONE of these losers could fight their way out of a paper bag if the truth were to be known COWARDS!

1st and foremost,
if you think this shit is cool, kill this, shoot that. Well in my personal opinion, you all need to just kill yourselves from the jump. All you wack and lame ass youth of the generation is so fucking brain washed. This shit come straight from your momma`s (or father) tv set. This ain't real Minneapolis shit.

You lil niggas need to really go where this is taking place everyday, 24/7 like the murder capital of America. And if you acting like y'all don't know, its the windy city, chirac, or whatever the fuck they're calling it these day. You pussies wouldn't last a weekend (get it. A fucking weekend) out there. Then on top of that, u lil niggas runnin around making babies but when your ass get popped off or popped out, who's gone take care of them, the grandparents who just turn 26,27,28 etc. (You get the idea).

Just be the kids that you really are and enjoy ur life and grow old. Whatever happened to growing old, it use to be the shit. Now it's about who gets knocked off 1st and by what type of gun...... MAN. FUCK THAT SHIT. Kids are suppose to bury there mothers and fathers, not the other way around.... Stop all this madness and just go back to just boxing out ur beefs. At least you'll get a chance at a rematch instead of spending the rest of ur life (whats left of it) locked up being some nigga's celly.

I know what we can do... raise our children and lock up ppl like Johnny northside that criticize, ridicule, and judge not only the family of the dead but the dead.. that keeps the hate and animosity going... if us as the adults only see and talk about the bad of our youth why would they change. You have a whole blog that you dedicate to your seventeen year old son... if he's proud of his dad criticising other youth like him then you shouldn't have to ask for suggestions from others n their life n start with you

Guy who shot Kibbie convicted.

A jury found a Brooklyn Center man guilty of two counts of attempted murder for the benefit of a gang in the April shooting outside Target Field, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Monday.

The jury deliberated over parts of two days before convicting James Davis, 28, for shooting Kibbie Walker and Cortez Blakemore as they left their cleaning job at Target Field on April 12. Davis will be sentenced March 19 at 10 a.m.

“This was a difficult case because the main victim was not cooperative and did not want to say who shot him,” Freeman said. “But the jury did an excellent job of listening to all the evidence we put forth. We are determined to stop these gang shootings.”

Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Thad Tudor, in his closing arguments Friday morning, noted that Walker, despite being shot in the chest and the abdomen, did not help on the witness stand.

“You saw Kibbie Walker try to tank this case,” Tudor said. “He said, ‘I don’t know who shot me.’ This is the don’t snitch crowd.’’

According to the criminal complaint, Walker and Blakemore were just leaving their new job cleaning up after a Twins night game just before 3 a.m. As they were walking out of the left field gate, three men in hooded sweatshirts came up to them and began shooting. Blakemore was seriously injured when a bullet hit his spinal cord.

Tudor said that while Walker was not helpful on the witness stand, his recorded interview with police was informative, including when Walker picked Davis out of a photo lineup. Another witness testified that Davis joined him and others at the Flameburger restaurant and said he did the shooting and to watch the news.

The complaint, and testimony during the trial, indicated that this was a feud between two gangs. Davis is a member of the 1-9s and Walker is a member of the Taliban. Walker admitted to police that he made a YouTube video making fun of the shooting death at the Epic Nightclub of 1-9s leader Tyrone Washington.

Walker also will be sentenced next month. In December, he pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault for shooting repeatedly at a car at Chicago Avenue and Eighth Street on April 30.
