Rapper E-9 was shot and killed after a dispute at a New Jersey barbershop Sunday (December 29), according to nj.com. He was 28.
The artist, whose given name was Eric Andrews Jr., was involved in an argument at Nu Trendz, a New Brunswick barbershop, per nj.com.
E-9 was involved in a disagreement with two brothers, one of whom took out a gun, gave it to his brother and shot and killed the rapper, according to allhiphop.com.
Several people, including fellow rapper and E-9 collaborator 6FO, posted on social media about E-9’s death. “Tears won’t let me finish.. But you in a second beloved RIP E9,” 6FO posted on his Instagram account.
E-9, whose moniker was a nod to Exit 9 off the New Jersey Turnpike, released with 6FO the song “Hometown” in 2011. In 2012, E-9 and 6FO collaborated with Waka Flocka Flame on the song “M.O.N.E.Y.,” which was produced by Jahlil Beats.
E-9 and 6FO were scheduled to perform at New York City nightclub SOB’s yesterday (December 31).
Authorities are asking anyone with information on the shooting to contact the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit at 908-231-7100.
The videos for “Hometown” and “M.O.N.E.Y.” are as follows.

crazy how none of these cats get any shine until they die
Seems these days you’re nobody til somebody kills you…or you kill yourself.
Damn who gon get popped next?
Post that new Godfather 50 joint
Someone will come forward…. Happened in barbershop!
seems like its rapper hunting season out there
and this is why i dont hang with niggas these days they can’t act civilized.
on some real look in the mirror sh*t, you just said you ain’t qualified to teach civilization
says a whole lot more about you than them
Of course this E 9 rapper was an aspiring rapper like all those other anonymous rappers who died and dx raports about.
sad tragedy but stop giving this publicity.
if a regular guy gets killed in a pickup basketball game would espn report it? why are hip hop websites treating these dudes like real rappers? i aint never heard of doe b or e 9 til they died. rip nonetheless but cmon now
co-sign everything u said
is this dude gonna be overated and “untouchable” great now that he was tragically killed *cough biggie 2pac cough cough*
Yeah.. The only dead rappers are BiG and PaC. You are a dumb wannabe niggxr and you should go kill yourself.
When will people learn that talking shit can get you killed? Especially in NJ.
I’m sure the Somerset Police got a ton of calls with information on the murder after this article was posted…
Thanks for the spectacular news bro, I love it when worthless people die.
I guess your just itching for your entire family to hit the ditch…
Not sure if anyone will come forward or not. This barbershop is a few minutes from where I live, been in there, and my wife used to work there. They obviously weren’t the only one’s in there and others clearly saw the shooter. If they didn’t give the details, I doubt it will happen.
What barber shop was it in NB and on what street? I live in NB also.
And that’s what’s wrong with black people, a dumbazz kills somebody in cold blood, in front of witnessess and no one wants to say who did it. If you saw it and keep quiet then you are the same as the coward that shot him. That “no Snitch sh*t is dumb as hell. If I see it, Yo azz is going to jail homie. Weak azz cowards.
Dont listen to the crybabies HHDX. People will bitch bout everything on this site. An aspiring rapper has lost his life, and yall feel the need to complain about a RAP site posting an article on his murder? Some of yall really need to rethink your priorities if it matters to YOU what this site posts about. YOU didnt have to click on the article. Damn fools.
Word
dumbass we want good hiphop news and not bullshot news and gossip shit
so dont click on the damn article its that simple. So in ur logic, if HHDX didnt do this article, they would have all of a sudden have a different Hiphop article they didnt post? You are the dumbass, like it or not, this is a legitimate post. There are plenty of other stories u could have clicked on instead of spreading ignorant hate. U must have no life if this matters to u so much.
why all these niggas affiliated with waka flocka dying all of a sudden
I KNOW BRO THATS CRAZY
the spirit of big bad gucci mane geting revenge

RIP
RIP but stop doing articles about practically unknown rappers after they die, but never giving them at least an unsigned hype article while they were alive.
CO-SIGN!
That’s because these bums weren’t worth mentioning or having their music played.
This is sad man…. for real. Bunch of cowards out there
