Chicago rapper Glizzy the Tweaker wanted to celebrate his 19th birthday in style. Before diving into his birthday cake, he learned first-hand how much a sucking chest wound sucks. America now mourns the loss of yet another Windy City rap artist. Most violent crime in Chicago goes unsolved thanks to the Windy City’s over-burdened and under-funded police department. But not Glizzy’s latest robbery gig.
Thanks to a dose of freedom pills, Glizzy — real name: Mekhi Moore — remained at the scene of the crime. A construction worker working on a South Side renovation project took offense at four thugs who threatened to kill him during an attempted robbery. He shot Glizzy repeatedly, leaving the rap star dead right there.
Moore’s three accomplices buddies, rather than sticking around to administer first aid to their wounded comrade, ran like scalded rats. News reports suggest a second thug received some ballistic therapy as well, but his condition remains unknown.
Thankfully the CPD and the Cook County State’s Attorney recognized an obvious case of armed self-defense and released the victim without charges, but also without his gun. No doubt our good guy will have procured another before returning to the job site.
The Express Tribune has the story:
Chicago drill rapper Mekhi Moore, known professionally as Glizzy The Tweaker, was killed on September 26, 2025, during what police say was a botched robbery attempt in the city’s Chatham neighborhood. He was 19 years old.
According to VIA-X, the incident occurred around 5:03 p.m. near 89th Street and Michigan Avenue. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found Moore with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Authorities said Moore, along with at least three others, allegedly attempted to rob a construction worker at a renovation site. The worker, who was legally licensed to carry a concealed firearm, reportedly fired four shots in self-defense, striking Moore. The other suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. A second individual was also shot, but their condition has not yet been confirmed.
Police recovered two firearms at the scene. The construction worker was questioned but released without charges, as Illinois’ Concealed Carry Act permits the use of force in situations where there is an immediate threat.
If the late Glizzy had only spent more time in school and church instead of toting illegal guns and sticking up people for fun and profit, he might still be with us. But alas, he’s gone, lost forever to music lovers everywhere. It’s a loss Chicagoans will just have to learn to live with.
Ahhhh – there was no talent lost. Just another criminal emboldened by the left wing ideology of ‘do what you want to take from or harm anyone you want in anyway you want cause you want to for any reason you want’
Another Darwin Award nominee.
We’re mourning nothing but the loss of our civil rights.
The Glizzy should’a learned a trade.
Are you implying that “rapper” isn’t a trade? You bigot.
Counting down the minutes until Gabby Giffords calls this another case of gun violence that shouldn’t have happened if only people couldn’t use self defense as a reason to commit homicide.
Mr. Glizzy The Tweaker was a wasted life. Sad
Oh no!
Anyway…
Is it reasonable to expect that Chicago residents will burn down half the city over this outrage?
Unfortunately the rapper’s family will likely file a civil suit against the victim and win a settlement. This is Crook County after all.
On the upside, when Glizzy assumed room temperature, global warming dipped slightly.
Count me as one music lover who did not like his “music.”
Was the construction worker wearing a MAGA hard hat? And carrying a bottle of bleach? Asking for my friend Jussie.
Gosh, and just as “he turning they life around”. How tragic.
Should no acquaintance be forgot
No more he come to mind
Black hopeless trash a lyin there
Chicago mindless stylin there
He empty head, he blingin dread
He leaders make him altogether dead
They preach so good, dey love da hood
But after all dey posin
After all dat fuss, dey leave for all of us
No good.
Wait a second, I’m confused. The article says that TWO firearms were recovered by police; how many guns did the (licensed) construction worker have? Surely the other people involved didn’t have firearms as there are laws against that.
Absolutely right and you can see the phantom firearm right there in his video. His friends also appear to wave some other examples of phantom firearms. It is unclear how his phantom firearm was seized by police since it is not real.
There should be a rule where the intended victim gets to keep all recovered weapons.
A federal law.
True story, about 2004 or so –
I was doing some interior remodeling for a guy who lived on a street near downtown where I live, the homes there were built in the late 1920’s, so lath-and-plaster construction. Not a bad neighborhood, but not far from the sketchy side of town. (Even more so, today, unfortunately.)
There I was, minding my own, painting away, when in the front door a guy strolled in talking a mile-a-minute and gesturing his arms wildly, walking fast towards me, about 40 feet from the front door he came.
Fortunately, I had my 6-shot Taurus .357 in my front pocket, and I drew it, keeping the muzzle low. In a low and decidedly-not-friendly-whatsoever-voice, I said “You need to leave the house”.
He froze, *immediately*, turned 180, and marched his naturally-tanned ass right back out the way he came and never returned.
I considered that a most successful defensive gun use (DGU). I didn’t bother calling the cops, but if it happened today, I probably would, after some consideration. Where I live is *very* pro-gun, law-enforcement and prosecution-wise attitude towards an armed citizenry is quite friendly.
That was the first of the two times I have drawn my carried gun for my self-defense, I hope I never need to do so again…
“talking a mile-a-minute and gesturing his arms wildly”
Not a good sign. He could’ve been a methhead.
“He could’ve been a methhead.”
Possibly, I never determined for sure. He was where he wasn’t welcome to be.
He left, i considered that a good-enough *win* for me.
When I saw the homeowner the next day, I let him know what went down, he just kinda shrugged…
“…naturally- tanned ass…”
i’m glad he wasn’t using those damn beds or the spray. but i’m sorry his pants were saggin’ so low.
“Aspiring Rapper”
North American euphemism for a member of the urban criminal class. This unusual occupation is usually mentioned in conjunction with the subject either being slain or being taken into custody for a violent or property-related crime. A relative of the subject usually points out that the subjects demise or incarceration comes at an extremely inopportune moment, occurring just as they subject was “turning they(sic) life around.”
Special K Icey Eight had a checkered past, but his mother insisted he was a “good boy” who was just turning his life around, when the aspiring rapper was gunned down by a homeowner after breaking into the house via the kitchen window.
He had just gotten accepted to medical school a couple days ago.
i love a happy ending
Natural selection at its finest…..
from aspiring rapper to expiring rapper…so solly
Since he was 19, they’ll count this as a childhood firearm death, I presume.
An obvious case of lead poisoning
May God have mercy on this deceased thug’s soul.
Normal Americans, however, do not mourn the loss of a pathetic, narcissistic and otherwise useless criminal who got what he deserved.
Whites created every country for blacks, but now have to provide food, medical, financial, and engineering aid to every one. blacks cannot survive without White charity.
No pre-contact black society ever created a written language, or weaved cloth, or forged steel, or invented the wheel, or plow, or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure, or sewer, or drilled a well, or irrigated, or created any agriculture, or built a road, or sea-worthy vessel. They never domesticated animals, or exploited underground natural resources, or produced any kind of mechanical device.
blacks were still living in the Stone Age when Whites discovered them just 400 years ago.
blacks are the oldest race, so they should be the most advanced — but they never advanced at all. Sub-Saharan Africans never made any contribution to the world. Everything they have was given to them by Whites. blacks lived alone in Africa, a vast continent with temperate climates and abundant resources for 60,000 years so they cannot blame slavery, racism, colonialism, culture, environment, or anything else for their failures.
Simply, life is an IQ test.
i am awarding you zero points.
