Everyone From Snoop Dogg To Talib Kweli Is Dragging George Zimmerman For Threatening Jay-Z

"If one hair on jays hair is touched that’s when the revolution will b televised."

While talking about the upcoming documentary about the death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman tried it (really, really tried it) by sending a crude threat to the film's producer, Jay Z.

It was recently announced that Jay-Z and the Weinstein Company would be making a 6-part docuseries titled Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story. Although it's unclear how the series will continue amid the allegations facing Weinstein, it appears the production company is still working to gather all necessary footage.

In an interview with The Blast, Zimmerman has alleged that a production team, led by executive producer Michael Gasparro, "harassed" his parents and family in Florida for interviews. He then went on to threaten the production and Jay-Z. 

"I know how to handle people who f*ck with me, I have since February 2012," Zimmerman told The Blast in a disgusting reference to the killing of Trayvon Martin. 

He then went on to say: "Anyone who f*cks with my parents will be fed to an alligator.”

  • Zimmerman's threats were not taken lightly, especially with Snoop Dogg, who had words of his own for Trayvon's killer

  • Talib Kweli also came after Zimmerman by referencing 'Pepe the Frog,' an image used by white supremacists and alt-right members

  • In general, Zimmerman's attempt to come for HOV was immediately shut down by Black Twitter

    Neither Jay-Z nor Michael Gasparro has commented on Zimmerman's remarks.
