Kidd Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, (not to be construed as Kid Creole and the Coconuts​ Frontman) was walking in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday near where he worked security and maintenance when he passed by 55-year-old John Jolly.

Jolly said something that offended Glover, and they argued, said the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. The fight escalated until Glover stabbed Jolly and then walked off, authorities said.

The official said it was an argument that got out of hand.

Police later found Jolly and thought he was passed out, but then noticed him bleeding. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Jolly, a registered sex offender who was homeless, served time for sexually assaulting and attacking a woman. He had been staying at a shelter in the Bowery and had at least 16 prior arrests.

Glover, who had headed straight to work at a building nearby following the confrontation, remained quiet as Dahl recounted the incident in detail to demonstrate “the strength of the case” reports the Associated Press.

The suspect allegedly told Assistant District Attorney Mark Dahl, he had washed the blood off the knife at his workplace and had left his job early, tossing the weapon into a sewer as he headed home. However, defense lawyer Patrick Watts questioned the prosecutor’s account, declaring the evidence is all circumstantial.

Glover, 57, a lyricist with the pioneering group, was being held pending an arraignment on a second-degree murder charge. Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five is best known for their 1982 rap song "The Message." The group was formed in the late 1970s in the Bronx, NY.

The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, the first rap act to be inducted into the hall.

Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
