Lighty, 44 — a longtime manager of 50 Cent, Diddy, Ja Rule and Mariah Carey — was found dead inside his South Riverdale apartment about 11:30 a.m., police sources said.
It appeared he died from a bullet to his head, sources said. A gun was recovered next to his body.
Law enforcement sources said Lighty — who divorced his wife, Veronica, last year — may have been dealing with financial struggles, including owing about $5 million to the IRS.
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.”
All we can say is that we lost someone close to us in the world Hip-Hop and will never be forgotten and will always be missed.
