Who Is Bambino Gold? Alabama Police May Have Found Rapper’s Body

The bodies of Rapper Bambino Gold and his cousin, Skooly Kee Da Tooly, are believed to have been found in the Macon County area, Alabama, over the weekend.

Two bodies were discovered — one on Friday and the other on Saturday — three or four miles apart from each other, and while official results are still awaited from the Alabama Department of Forensic Science, investigators believe that they could be the corpses of Gold and Tooly, who went missing two weeks ago.

"They were not far off of the road at all,'' Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson said, AL.com reported. "It looks like somebody placed them there. I don't think they were killed there."

The sheriff also added: "It's very sad. My heart goes out to the families and we're working hard to get to the bottom of this."

Bambino Gold’s birth name was Edward Reeves. According to Rate Your Music, he was born on May 5, 1988, in Montgomery, Alabama, and was living in Atlanta, Georgia. Gold has appeared in more than 150 mixed tapes since 2011 and has been featured with artists such Sy Ari Da Kid, Boosie Badazz, Ray Vicks, Eldorado Red, and Doe B. Alley Boy. Some of the latest mix tapes which features Gold’s music are "Trapping Made It Happen" and "Love Fake the Hate Real."

Not much is known about his personal life. It is known from his social media accounts that he was a father. His last Instagram post was on Nov. 6, which was a selfie. Apart from selfies, he also posted pictures of his son (age unknown). In one such post, his son is seen dressing up as footballer Colin Kaepernick, who famously started the trend of taking the knee during the national anthem being played before a match, in order to protest racial discrimination in the United States.

Gold also posted several photos displaying stacks of cash — one of them even shows Tooly holding up bundles of dollar notes in his hand. Gold and Tooly are longtime friends and they became cousins through marriage.

Gold was not married but had a girlfriend, who preferred to remain anonymous when she spoke to local media outlet WSB-TV on Nov. 10 regarding her boyfriend’s disappearance. "He seemed fine ... like nothing was wrong with him," his girlfriend said. "I’m trying to not think about nothing being wrong. I’m trying to think positive."

They were last seen on Nov. 5, when Gold arrived in Montgomery. Shortly after 9 p.m. local time (10 p.m. EST) they left Tooly’s house, to attend the Alabama National Fair, where according to Tooly’s mother, Felicia Stokes Webster, "a lot of people saw them there." Webster told AL.com that after that "they just vanished into thin air."

According to reports, Gold dropped by a friend’s place late at night after the fair. He and Tooly left the friend’s place around 11:55 p.m. local time (12:55 a.m. EST Monday). The friend said that the men were supposed to return and when they did not, the friend started calling their cellphones. By 1 a.m. local time Monday (2 a.m. EST) Gold’s phone was going straight to voicemail.

"Between 11:30 p.m. and 1 a.m., something happened between that time," Webster said. "What happened, we don't know." Webster added that Tooly, whose real name was Kendrick Stokes, spoke to her everyday and prayed together till the day he disappeared.
