[@garyn9279]

nitty gritty was a wanted man when he left jamaica for england using someone else's passport with his picture placed inside.gritty was involved in multiple armed robberies and shootings in jamaica before he left.spent a little time in england before obtaining false british documents and going to new york.him and sluggy start to spar and the dance they kept was in philly...gritty asked supercat to perform but cat told him he couldn't go and to use his brother junior cat instead.dance keep,junior cat perform and wasn't paid...him and gritty end up inna big argument and fight,gritty gunbutt him and buss him head...obviously supercat was vex.he told gritty him have to pay his brother,gritty tell cat to suck him mumma,dem buck roun a supa power and we know the rest.no rental car business.by the way cat never had no licensed gun but he got off on self defense based on witness statements,security footage and the fact that gritty was an illegal alien criminal fugitive from jamaica

[@christopherdaley753]

Nitty pulled his trigger, the gun jammed, so cat shooting was justified

[@rockneybastard]

Bloody nora! You must have known Glenn an all to know all that I tell ya. Now I remember him leaving out of nowhere, weren't privy to the false British passports and that. But I do know he was a wanted man back Jamaica and he had gotten in some filth in london too. By the time I got out of lock up he was already gone. Ended up getting banged up again and then thats how I heard what happened. Nitty was my friend but clumping junior cat for owed money is defo right up there if you saw what I've seen him get up to.

[@yanmck-sam5472]

Seet deh! That’s closer to what I’ve heard as well.

Sir being a license gun owner in Jamaica does not mean you're license to carry legally in the USA especially not in NYC...also cat career started to slow down after the shooting..he caught a lot of backlash from fans who didn't know the whole story..cat was one of the biggest dance hall artist way before the shooting happened..cat music helped me survive NYC during that time..

Oh. What I meant was that since he is licensed here he sees it necessary so he may have sought and got licensed there. I didn’t mean his license here works over there.

He didn't have a NYC permit. Witness statements and the fact Nitty Gritty was illegally in the U.S and Cat was legal he got off on self-defense. Nitty was also wanted in Jamaica at the time.

[@donutube83]

The one version I heard was that Cat and Gritty were clashing on stage (likely at Sting, but then that would be the undisputed all-time top moment at Sting, if it was), and Gritty THREATENED to pull out a gun and shoot Cat… Cat promptly responded by ACTUALLY pulling out a gun and ‘bloop-bloop’, killing Gritty on the spot… Cat’s self-defence claim was justified by Gritty saying, out loud, that he had a gun on him!! I was unaware of how Nitty Gritty died until I heard that!!!

[@bowlerfamily]

​@KZbinrD-Man2015 I heard the same. I heard Nitty actual made a gesture like he was pulling out but it was only his two fingers that he aimed at Cat. Cat reacted, drew and fired.

"I would like to know who killed tenor saw" - nitty gritty

[@vale-y1i]

Seems like Tenor Saw was killed in a straightforward hit and run whilst walking along a motorway in Texas.

[@markwallace6176]

Umm should talk to Sluggy. Heard it was over a show he put on from a friend who was in NY at the time. He actually did an interview around the time, explaining.

[@adrianhowell2376]

Sluggy is dead

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

You a the only man weh bring up the reality. Nobody mention Sluggy and if they didn't then they wasn't there and didn't know what happened. Story them a mek up. I ain't talking the ting. Gritty gone, Sluggy gone, Gritty have youths that are big now. Respect to his family and let sleeping dogs lye.

My father died in 2012 in Jamaica. There were silly rumors of obeah between my dad & nitty gritty.

[@rogermoore27]

I never knew about the shooting incident while I was growing up

[@abovetheclout]

My pops told me this story as a kid

[@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect]

Mine too! To this day he tells me about this incident and this is the first time on the internet hearing about what might have caused it.

[@antonyford6225]

I was in a king original promotion show n dance in Northampton standing in the passage way reasoning with a couple idrins ... all of a sudden i felt somethin poking my back / i looked around and it was Gritty passin and using his bloodcart finger and sayin " man a pass ".. i frowned and looked at him coz i didn't like that action .. he continued on his way . What i remember seeing was a sly lookin egoistic so an so.. and i said to my bredrin " da bwoy deh ago dead yu know ..memba me tell yu dat .. " my bredrin gave a smirked smile cos he could clearly see i was upset bout it. Why didn't he just say " yes i.. excuse me Rasta " .... respectfully and decently ? But instead usin his friggin finger like a knife / he was lucky that night seh madness wasnt summoned . Som of these guys feel like they have to show some type of badman presentation jus coz they come from wherever and they make some released songs . He never knew th mindset of the black Englsh yut an crew them days who his duppy fingure was proddin..... bout man a pass . Fk him . Wen i heard he got shot by super cat i didnt even hafi ask wht happen. I just knew that it was his attitude .... it was gonna happen sooner or later. Some great songs still.. but jah no partial , if yu a ramp yu will get cramp . May he rest in peace still. Selassie i

Interesting. Sometimes a moment can tell you a lot about a person.

[@simona6909]

Why you digging up this story if you don't know the full facts 100% leave it alone it's in the past so leave it there

[@ssliburd1]

I boil all of this down to, Super Cat had to make a sacrifice. You have to do this to move up in the industry. This is what the entertainment business is all about. Two examples that comes to mind is: (1) Snoop Dogg murder case; (2) Jay-Z stabbing Lance “Un” Rivera. It’s Hollywood. This is how they build these characters/actors image and make money off of these things.

[@Mr.podcasterHimself]

Back in the days in the 80s and 90s of NY they wasn't deporting people that committed violent crimes..u had dudes running through the city with multiple bodies under their belt in Brooklyn..Super Kat wouldn't have stayed locked up because the DA probably Said I have enough murder cases to handle and threw that sht out and said Next

[@denniseubanks-go6bh]

Not always true. A lot of people were deported in the 80s and 90s. Super cat never went to prison that’s why he wasn’t deported.

[@christinefindlay6338]

His mother had filed for him. He was a legal resident from back in the 90's.

[@MrSniperific13]

I know Nitty family personally and the story is true.

[@rocklynclarke4490]

Did you also know Nitty personally as well? If not, who do you know from his family? I wonder if any of them would be willing to share personal stories about Nitty. There's such little coverage of him and yet his music touched so many people!

[@neilnelmar8007]

​@@rocklynclarke4490😅😅he is lying ,this is nothing but gossip

[@strobeiw]

I was supposed to go to the show at windsor cricket club on talbot ave in boston where early b got shot and killed on stage soon after this. Im glad i didn't.

[@dez5]

Why not interview super Cat and all who was involved at the time. also where is the police report.

[@neilnelmar8007]

Cat was initially suspected by was cleared affter an investigation that is all the information we have

[@bugspub]

@@neilnelmar8007 lol well no matter how u look at it super still here

[@giacannastory1963]

Big Story this ! Wicked!!!

[@yell0wberry]

There has to be more to the story, how does a person who wasn’t even a citizen of this country get away with such a crime of this nature and how the hell did he get a gun from Jamaica into this country? Also, in New York City, it’s a mandatory jail sentence for carrying and having possession of a gun from another jurisdiction into New York City without proper credentials, as Plaxico Burres found out the hard way. I still have a feeling it wasn’t super cat who actually did the shooting.

[@jamaicaworldwide]

Supercat was a resident and the whole situation would be ruled as self-defense. Nitty drew a weapon as well. He did not bring the weapon from Jamaica he would have had a licensed firearm there as well.

[@Tonipete199]

Who kill Tena Saw, people need to know that?

[@vale-y1i]

Nobody. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car crossing a motorway. All the rumours of him being purposely killed (by drug dealers etc) are false.

[@MisterElement]

Yup!

[@claytonhall4501]

Nitty Gritty gi weh him life…

It didn’t go exactly like that , but that’s a story for another time.
