Rapper Silento Arrested For Allegedly Murdering His Cousin

Nickelodeon's 2016 Kids' Choice Awards - Red Carpet

Rapper Silento, best known for his viral hit song "Watch Me Hit/Nae Nae", was arrested Monday for allegedly murdering his cousin.

The Nae Nae rapper was booked by Georgia's DeKalb County Police Department on charges that he allegedly shot and killed his cousin Fredrick Rooks last month.

The department sent out a tweet saying "Ricky Hawk [Silento], 23, was arrested for the murder of his cousin Fredrick Rooks, 34. On January 21, the DeKalb County Police Department Investigated Rooks' death after he was found shot on Deep Shaols Circle. Hawk is in the Dekalb County Jail charged with Murder."

This is sad for everyone involved, but especially sad for Fredick Rooks and his family. Another tragic death.
