Y'already know it didn't take long for the Internet to track her down.

Many people are still coming to terms with the death of Nipsey Hussle. The rapper was shot and killed in front of his Crenshaw store in South Central Los Angeles in on March 31st. Murals of the rapper popped up across the world but recently, a teenager in Connecticut defaced a piece that was painted in honor of the late rapper.

A teenager from Connecticut, who the Internet has identified as Kaitlyn Renee a.k.a "Kay Kay," was filmed defacing an incredible mural of Nipsey Hussle. In a clip that emerged online, the girl takes a can of black spray paint and tags the mural while telling people to add her on Facebook. She's seen taking pictures in front of the picture and posing while someone films. A voice is heard in the background urging her not to paint on his face.

Naturally, she received threats on the internet which she responded to on social media, HipHopDX reports. 

“Y’all really mad,” she wrote. “I ain’t boutta argue with none of y’all over some PAINTING. you know how much dope shit in heaven park gets painted over? Oh alright then hop off. Yah Boutta “kill” me over a painting. That shit is hilarious.”

It's still unsure what her motive to do it was but if attention was what she was looking for, she got it.
