A Nevada rapper was arrested on a murder charge after Las Vegas police said he confessed to the murder in his (song) lyrics.

Kenjuan McDaniel was arrested August 29 on a charge of open murder with a deadly weapon, a news release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said. His bail was set Thursday at $1 million with electronic monitoring, according to court records.

CNN has reached out to McDaniels attorney for comment but has not heard back.

McDaniel had been considered a person of interest in the death of Randall Wallace on September 18, 2021, in part due to his connection to a vehicle that matched the description of one used during the crime, according to a redacted arrest warrant.

In July, a detective noticed a music video posted by McDaniel on YouTube and reviewed the lyrics and video, the warrant said.

Detectives noted the music video bore a sufficient level of similarity to the details of the murder. This includes the fact, that Kenjuan confessed to the murder in his lyrics. Details provided by Kenjuan in his music video were not released to the public and would not be common knowledge, the warrant said.

One lyric included in the warrant is, Parked the car, double back on feet, the smartest way to slide, drove in, double lock yo man, make sure you get yo bod, which the warrant states includes details of the killing that were not released to the public. In addition, it states that while McDaniel rapped in the video, he reenacted elements of the killing that were consistent with evidence at the scene.

The facts gathered during the investigation were obtained separately from the music video. The music video further validated the results of the investigation, it added.

McDaniel has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Thursday.

This heavily reminds me of Amok, a 2003 book made by a Polish murderer that was letter-to-letter of a murder the author had commited.

Look it up on Wikipedia, it's very weird and wild.

Didn't some lady get arrested not too long ago because she essentially did the same thing, but about killing her husband?

How stupid do you have to be to commit a murder and then write a song about it using details not available to the public?

This one included details to the killing that weren't actually available to the public. The only way this dude could have made a song about it is if either he was there committing the murder or knew someone that did that was bragging about it.

i would hope they have some kind of evidence tying him to it for a prosecutor to even try the case. while an admission is powerful, it isn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt even with inside information about the crime. that could have come from a friend or associate that committed the crime. they almost certainly have some kind of evidence tying him to the crime or they shouldn't have charged to begin with.

You could try, I don't know, reading the first post all the way through:
McDaniel had been considered a person of interest in the death of Randall Wallace on September 18, 2021, in part due to his connection to a vehicle that matched the description of one used during the crime, according to a redacted arrest warrant.

The facts gathered during the investigation were obtained separately from the music video. The music video further validated the results of the investigation, it added.

He was a subject of interest going back to 2021, and a detective already building a case against him noticing only a month ago that the music video happens to include non-public details about the murder (and shows the rapper reenacting the murder itself in a way that matches the crime scene) was just the icing on the cake.

No, it was an original work that was highly panned by critics but like an artist's death the author's trial saw an increase in sales by those who were morbidly curious about the case.

the argument that many rappers put forth about this is disingenuous imo

obviously most are rappers out there creating fiction, but in many of the cases where prosecutors want to use lyrics as evidence, A) its not the only evidence and B) its cases like this where theyre using details no one couldve known or are beyond coincidence

in this case it does look like the guy was already a prime suspect and there was evidence against him and his admission in the song along with admitting stuff that wasn't public information will probably be enough to smoke his boots for a life sentence. dude seems extremely stupid but luckily he is dumb enough to out himself and the public can get a murdering psycho off the street

It's pretty common in Nevada, it basically means the Jury gets to decide the degree of murder or manslaughter.
