KR Death refers to an event in which Nikko Jenkins, an escaped death row prisoner, murdered the Houston-based rapper K-Rino, also known as "K-rino," within his own home with point-blank shotgun shots to the face and head. Nikko claimed that K-Rino was a fake gangster. K-Rino gained recognition through his previous endeavors involving feuds with legendary rapper Eminem, which earned him the nickname "punching bag" by Eminem stans due to the verbal onslaught he faced from Eminem in their music battles or the only and one song where they were featured at; 187 by the multi-legendary rap group and movement The Soul Stealers. Nikko has one feat song and friendly ties with Eminem who also got friendly ties with ISG; which could maybe explain his grudge over Rino.
