Who was FastCash Cmoney?
Cmoney is part of the hip hop duo FastCash Boyz, which started off as a hip hop group in the mid-2010s. The initial members included CMoney, TP Stackz, Money, and C Jizzle. The group is known for hits like 2018’s Cash Walk.
Smith, apart from his professional achievements, had a partner, Kya Smith. He was also a father.
Kya shared the news of losing Smith on Facebook, saying “Cordney taught me so much! So happy we got to love on each other.. real love not no kiddie love we ain’t play about each other you took my heart with youuu fr all i can do is play all your music to hear your voice.”
She’s also started a GoFundMe for the deceased rapper, which states “C Money Smith was more than just a rapper—he was a loving father, a loyal friend, and an inspiration to many. Through his music, he told the stories of his life, his struggles, and his dreams, touching the hearts of everyone who listened. His passion for his craft and his dedication to his children were unmatched.”
The page notes that CMoney lost his life on August 9 to ‘senseless gun violence’.
Kya added that they needed the money to help cover funeral expenses, and provide for the children’s needs, who would now be ‘left to face a world without their dad’.
Memphis police, meanwhile, have asked anyone with information on the shooting to get in touch.
