<h3 style="text-align: center;">BTB Savage Was Gunned Down Following A Retaliatory Social Media Post</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/btb-savage-killed-houston/?_gl=1*1spque0*_up*MQ..*_ga*NjIyNjA2NzgyLjE2ODA4OTY3MTE.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MDg5NjcxMC4xLjEuMTY4MDg5NjcyMC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, BTB Savage was killed after appearing to taunt his enemies online. The situation stems from a prior home invasion, as BTB Savage instructed his then-girlfriend to shoot the robber.</p>
<p>Months later, while speaking on the subject during a sit-down on <em>Vlad TV</em>, the 26-year-old rapper unapologetically recounted the experience.</p>

<p>That wasn&#8217;t all, though, as he went as far as to take photos while standing in a dried pool of the would-be robber&#8217;s blood.</p>

<p>Mere hours after making this upload, the rapper was killed.</p>
<p>In the wake of this tragic news, BTB Savage&#8217;s mother — Bernita Ward — shared that she pleaded with her son to delete his upload and allow the robber&#8217;s family to &#8220;mourn in peace.&#8221;</p>

<p>However, she pointed out that BTB Savage had faced numerous threats from the deceased man&#8217;s loved ones at the time, suggesting that his post was retaliatory. Ward also noted, &#8220;Their family member came to rob my son.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I said, &#8216;Take that off of social media.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Let this family mourn in peace.&#8217; But they were continuing [to taunt] my son. Telling him that they were gonna kill the family, that they were gonna make his momma cry like my son made his mother cry. And I told my son, &#8216;Don&#8217;t respond.&#8217; But their family member came to rob my son.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
