Hip hop pioneer Kidd Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover [in blue janitorial uniform] is seen being escorted from the 13th precinct, by detectives from the Manhattan South Homicide Squad, Wednesday night.

He had a run-in with Jolly, who was drunk, a police source said.
“They had no prior relationship,” the source said. “They had words. Things got out of hand. It was some sort of diss.”
Glover thought Jolly, a convicted rapist and sex offender, was hitting on him, another source said.

Neighbors at Glover’s Bronx building were stunned to hear of his arrest.
“That is so sad, I’m really in shock right now,” said a 72-year-old woman who lived downstairs from Glover. “He was the sweetest man I’ve ever met. Everybody liked him, I’m really about to cry.”
Suit-clad detectives were seen leaving Glover’s apartment with brown paper evidence bags.
The victim had a rap sheet that included time done for sexual assaults. Jolly served 5 years in prison for beating and raping a 42-year-old woman in 1997, state correction records show. Then went back to jail in 2008 and did nearly 3 years on a weapons charge, authorities said.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five introduced rap to a mainstream audience. The group’s biggest release was a classic called “The Message,” with the famous hook: “Don’t push me ‘cause I’m close to the edge. I’m trying not to lose my head.”
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, the first hip hop group to make the cut.
