News / Song Lupe Fiasco's New Song for the Six-Month-Old Girl Who Was Shot in Chicago Earlier This Week
Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 3:07 PM
If you didn't hear the heartbreaking news: Six-month-old Jonylah Watkins died on Tuesday after being shot five times on Monday. The bullets were allegedly intended for her father, who was reportedly changing her diaper at the time. He was hospitalized and in critical condition earlier this week, but he's since been released from the hospital and is said to be cooperating with police.
Earlier today Lupe Fiasco, who's also from Chicago, posted a song he wrote for the girl, about what her life might've been like if she had lived. Try not to get tears all over your keyboard.
