A Virginia rapper has been charged with double murder after he was allegedly caught bragging about the crime in one of his songs, police said.
Antwain “Twain Gotti” Steward is accused of gunning down Christopher Horton, 16, and Brian Dean, 20, on their Newport front porch in 2007.
Cops thought the horrific slaying was gang-related but, without any concrete leads, the case soon went cold.
But two witnesses contacted officers earlier this year to say that Steward, 22, appeared to be boasting about the killings on his track “Ride Out.”
The song, posted on his MySpace page in 2009, included the lyrics: “Everybody saw when I f—in choked him, but nobody saw when I f—in smoked him.”
Steward was charged with two counts of felony murder, one count of unlawfully discharging a firearm and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, reports Gawker.
But as he was a teenager at the time of the alleged shooting, he will be tried as a juvenile, News 10 reports.
Steward took to Twitter to deny the claims.
He wrote: “S/o [shoutout] to everybody that’s supporting thru this BS. Innocent is a fact!!!! Y’all know with love comes hate!!”
