Bay Area rapper Mac Dre’s
tombstone was stolen from his grave at Oakland’s
Mountain View Cemetery this past weekend.
Dre’s longtime friend/collaborator AP confirmed
the horrendous act. “My agent called me and told me,”
said AP. “My peoples talked to Dre’s momma. That’s the best
source you can get.”
The Oakland
rapper is now offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who comes forward with
information leading to the offender.

“I got 10,000 for whoever bring me the motherfucker that
did it,” fumed AP. “I got 10,000 to beat somebody ass.
If somebody knows what’s up, I don’t give a fuck who it is. Not because it’s
Mac Dre. I don’t give a shit if it was Joe Blow, you just don’t do that type of
shit. Let him rest in peace. You fucking with dead motherfuckers,” he
continued. “Niggas done already killed my nigga — now he’s dead. You
still messing with the dead, man? I’ma hold it down for Mac Dre if
nobody else ain’t gon do it, I’m gon hold it down.”
Dre (born Andre Hicks)
was killed in a drive-by shooting Kansas
City’s U.S. 71 highway while he was being driven back
to his hotel in November 2004.
The murder was followed by the murder of Kansas City rapper Fat Tone. The following months saw
the two cities engage in a bloody feud that produced several casualties,
including Fat Tone’s
aunt, rapper Jermaine
“Maintain” Hughes and the death of a fan who was
killed during a Dre
memorial in San Francisco
last year.

However, AP, who now resides in Las
Vegas, doesn’t think Kansas
City had anything to do with the stolen tombstone.
“Hell nah, man,” said AP. “They not that
stupid. They ain’t gon do nothing like that. I don’t think it’s no niggas or
nothing like that. I think it’s some white fan — motherfuckers shroomed-out. I
don’t think that it’s anybody that we would associate ourselves with. It’s more
like a fan.
“We got love for Kansas
City,” added AP.“We just hate
what happened to Dre.
Everything is cool. To tell you the truth, ain’t none of my niggas going to Kansas City, cause I don’t
want nothing to happen to nobody. There’s somebody out there that really wanna
earn a stripe or something. It ain’t cool to go out there. We ain’t doing no
shows or nothing. Since Dre got killed, no Bay area rapper has done no shows in
Kansas City.”

Since the theft of the tombstone, family members are considering
moving his remains to a more secure cemetery in Vallejo, California.
