R.I.P. Magnolia Shorty



Another dark day in Hip Hop.

According to AHH, New Orleans-bred rapper, Magnolia Shorty born Renetta Lowe, formerly of Cash Money Records, was shot (26 times) and killed recently in her hometown.

The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. on the 6300 block of Bridgehampton Drive, police report. Pronounced dead at the scene, officers discovered Lowe, 28, and an unidentified male, inside a car that had been smashed into the gates of a local apartment complex.

Magnolia Shorty signed to Cash Money Records in the early 90′s. She was brought to the attention of label owners Bryan “Baby” and Ronald “Slim” Williams by members of the Hot Boys super group, who had been her childhood playmates and friends growing up in the Magnolia Project residential development.

Shorty released her first CD on the label in 1995. Most recently, she had a pair of local club hits in a row with “Smoking Gun,” a remix of the Jadakiss song, last year, as well as this year’s “My Boy,” a collaboration with R&B singer and newly signed Jive Records artist Kourtney Heart.


Rest In Peace.
