Lighty, 44, was a longtime manager of 50 Cent, Diddy, Ja Rule and Mariah Carey
Hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty died Thursday morning after he shot himself during an argument with his ex-wife inside his Bronx apartment, sources told the Daily News.
Lighty, 44 — a longtime manager of 50 Cent, Diddy, Ja Rule and Mariah Carey — put a gun to his head and fired after a spat with his former wife, Veronica, inside the South Riverdale apartment about 11:30 a.m., police sources said.
Law enforcement sources said Lighty — who divorced his wife last year — may have been dealing with financial struggles, including owing about $5 million to the IRS.
Lighty, founder of Violator Management, merged with another talent company to form Primary Violator around the time his divorce.
Musicians began Tweeting about Lighty soon after news of his death spread.
“R.I.P. Chris Lighty,” posted Fat Joe on his Twitter account. “That man saved my life.” -

WTF is a "Goon"? Are you talking about Mike & Dave?
Chris Lighty got slapped in the mouth by DMX, Cormega punked him, shooters was spraying bullets all in his office on the daily and Dipset damn near ran him out of town.
all the mythology about Chris Lighty & Violator being "Goons" is aint translating to truth. -
Sad news, I just heard. Chris was a really big time manager with Viloator. Had some big names. Sad he didn't want to live anymore. Yo as most are saying, the "Violator" compilation had tons of bangers on it. It went Gold back in the day. Also once again IRS troubles seem to plague a lot in the black music community. Uncle Sam isn't playin. Overall he will be rememberd, I never heard to much drama associated with him but it's sad he took his own life. Rest in Paradise.

I'm "real southern", I'm from Florida too buddy. You say that like just because we from the south we shouldn't know about hip hop.

His twitter is so damn depressing. He was depressed and you could see it from his tweets. ? . I am so damn touched by this. It's weird.. He was so young and ? talented.

Could be. Dude was prolly just a frontman business wise for Violator. I heard they used to be a heavy crew in NY back then.
Yo H-Rap lemme ask you where did you hear those stories about DMX and Cormega? I know DMX punched somebody in the Def Jam building back in 1998 but from what i read it never said who got punched so was that him? -
Got damn. smh.
