Filed under: Music, Television, News
‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss‘ ex-fiance Ashley ‘A.J.’ Jewell was killed after a fight outside popular Atlanta strip club, The Body Tap, late Friday night.He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.
Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows confirmed, “It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and received a severe blow to the head.”
Meadows said that the police have developed a person of interest in the case, adding, “we’ve made contact with him to question him about the incident.”
(SEE ARREST UPDATE BELOW.)
The Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter’s publicist, Lisa Nelson, confirmed to WSBTV.com that Burruss was “stunned and speechless” and that “the family is asking for privacy during this very difficult time.” Burruss, a former member of the platinum ’90s R&B group Xscape, recently revealed that she and Jewell split.
The couple, who were engaged earlier this year, have chronicled their relationship on the Bravo reality show ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’
Burruss is also currently raising Jewell’s twin daughters.
“AJ’s murder is horrific, not only for his family, including the six beautiful children he is leaving behind, but also for Kandi, who obviously still loves him despite their broken engagement,” Atlanta-area entertainment journalist Isoul Harris, who has a professional friendship with Burrus told BV Newswire today. “Also, this is another case of senseless violence that’s not only rampant in Atlanta, but all over the country.”
UPDATED, 11:33 a.m.: Police told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper that they have charged Frederick Richardson with voluntary manslaughter in the beating death of Jewell. Richardson is currently hospitalized at Grady Memorial Hospital for injuries sustained in the fight. He will be jailed once released by medical staff. Though the cause of the fight is still unknown, police confirmed that witnesses were cooperating.
‘It’s a great thing that a suspect has been arrested in this case,” Harris added. “It surely brings a little comfort to his friends and family.”
In the meantime, Burruss, who’s a single mother of one daughter, took to Twitter.com early Saturday morning to break her silence about the tragic loss. “I’m bout 2 give my swollen eyes some rest now. I just wanted to say thanks 2 everyone for their prayers. I gotta get up & go 2 my uncle’s funeral. I could never in a million years imagine this happening.”
The Atlanta native, who also changed her Twitter profile picture to a flick of her and Jewell, ask fans to remember Jewell leaves behind six children. “Please pray for AJ’s children, that’s who im the most concerned 4. Im just in one of those moods where I dont wanna talk, I dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. I just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone.”
“Right now, she is just trying to wrap her head around the fact that he is gone,” Harris concluded.

Is Jada Kiss Selling Drugs As A Side Hustle??
Do you ever wonder how some of these rappers are maintaining in between dropping albums? Well Yonkers resident and lyrical beast Jadakiss is one of the most respected in the game. However respect doesn’t equal sales, and he is also one of the most underrated MC’s ever when it comes to the Soundscan game. An arrest yesterday though is making many people wonder if Kiss has been getting it in through other means…
Yesterday two men were arrested inside of Jada’s apartment holding weed, heroin, cash, and guns. Jada himself was not on the scene and police do not believe he lives in the actual apartment but his name is on the lease and he is the owner. Police executed a search warrant on the house and found 6 pounds of weed, 5 grams of heroin, large sums of cash and a few guns. Two men were in the apartment and have been charged with everything that was found. At this time Jada is not a wanted man but the Yonkers police department has issued a statement that they would like to talk to him.
These damn rappers… I guess when all else fails right? Hopefully Kiss can keep his nose clean on this one, we don’t need to lose another great one.
