This is really such horrible news. I agree with the the other comments above that you did a commendable thing by not participating in the gossip talk. They were even saying on Twitter that bloggers are being asked to be careful how they report this event. A lot of people are mad at sohh and other hip-hop sites because of how they talked about it. Just another reason why I love your blog, you have good sense. RIP to Shakir Stewart and condolences to his family and friends.

While I find myself naturally curious as to why a successful, attractive, educated black man would take his own life…I do understand that LIFE is sometimes much deeper than all of those things combined.

IN ADDITION…I admire, commend and respect the author choosing not to divulge the details and I extend my heartfelt condolences. It takes a big person to show that amount of respect rather than feed into the frenzy. Blessings to all

I agree with Jahmal, it’s good to see you took the high road and showed respect rather than participate in the mess of journalists trying to use exclusive news to their benefit. I never met Shakir Stewart,but I send my regards to his family and all those who were in his life. RIP.

I can’t believe this. This can’t be real. I just ran into Shake a few weeks ago and shared a few laughs with him. I can’t believe it. How can this have happened? Why does this have to happen to GOOD, HARD WORKING PEOPLE????? I really don’t believe it. This can’t be real.

This is so sad. I’ve been hearing this non-stop for the past hour but couldn’t find anything until I saw your message on twitter. So sad. I pray for his family.
