Sam Ferguson, president of Don Diva magazine, was gunned down in Miami this past Friday. Ferguson, 47, was driving north near Griffin Road when bullets rang off onto his vehicle. He then crashed his car into the highway median, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Not only was he the Don Diva mag president, but he was also heavily involved in the Miami hip hop scene. You all might not know this, but caught hell last year from rapper Rick Ross after interviewing him once it was discovered he was a correctional officer prior to becoming a rapper. Ross brought Ferguson with him into his neighborhood for an interview as they were associated before him joining the magazine. Ross became infuriated with Ferguson after seeing an interview with Hip-Hop Weekly as well as a Q & A that was issued in the magazine that was entitled, “Would The Real Rick Ross Stand Up.” Ross was cited as saying that he was offended by what was written and issued a challenge for him to meet him in the streets as it would become deeper than rap.
RIP to Sam. While they are still looking for suspects, the conspiracy theories have already started. We absolutely cannot implicate Rick, but let this be a lesson: watch what comes out of your mouth recklessly. Ross made a foolish comment and now the heat is on him.
