RECOVERY OF $1 MILLION DOLLARS OF JEWELRY;
REMEMBERING COMEDIAN CHARLIE MURPHY
“It makes me upset, man. I made a lot of money for that city that day, you know? You control those people outside with that – you don’t come spray me. I just felt like it had to do with racism. I felt like if that was a different singer or something like that, you would have backed that crowd up. You wouldn’t have attacked me. It’s certain stuff you don’t do, and he was just out of line and it’s corruption, man,” said Boosie.
“I’m stuck at a point where I have to try to handle it the legal way. I got over 30 people in the mall saying ‘Let us testify for you what happened.’ You’ll even hear in the video, them saying ‘Why are you macing him, what’s wrong?‘ It was crazy. I ain’t never been through nothing like that. They took my things from me. Not only that, but that is brutality, what you did to me. I knew it when he said ‘boy,’ – I’m not a boy. I’m a corporation. I’m a man. You know, when he said boy – I’m from those southern states. When I hear that I feel like you’re a grandchild of the KKK. That’s how I feel.”
The police claimed they didn’t recover the bag, but within ten minutes of interviewing with Martin in Atlanta, Boosie received a call saying his jewelry was recovered and that he was free to pick it up. “Nobody knows where my jewelry is for three days...now my jewelry has popped up,” said a relieved Boosie. "This is a criminal case and a civil case. This is only beginning.”

“He was just able to tell his stories, and that’s what you want as a comic, to be able what you say what you want. Even if somebody doesn’t agree with it they just know that’s your point of view. And he was perfect at that,” said Duval. Love said, “Charlie was all steel. He was like my brother. He will forever be the greatest storyteller I’ve ever met in my life. What made the Chapelle show was so funny, was those stories we had already known, and – those were just slices of his life.” Adds Perry, “You can’t say Charlie Murphy without thinking of his brother, Eddie Murphy and he never was one of those guys that was in that shadow. He created his own energy, his own celebrity, his own funny, and as a comedian he took his knocks on his own name and he built a Charlie Murphy brand. “
