Another tragic loss for the Canadian hip-hop scene. Promising Toronto hip-hop artist Bvlly was killed early Christmas Eve after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

According to CP24, 24-year-old Jahquar Stewart aka Bvlly was shot near a townhouse block in Oshawa in the Simcoe Street North and Britannia Avenue area just before 3 a.m.

Bvlly was highly active this year—putting in quite a bit of work on the road for tours while promoting his popular new album, Made In Austria, which was released through All Business Music on Sept. 23, 2019. Bvlly had released the Mack Dizzle-assisted “Jungle” video in support of the project earlier this month.

More information will be added as it becomes available.

Our condolences go out to Bvlly’s family and friends.
