Hours before T’Quan Robertson shot up a Scarborough playground, he was insulted on Instagram: How social media may be fuelling Toronto’s gun problem
The day before T’Quan Robertson shot up a Scarborough playground, he discussed the music he makes as rapper Top Gunna with the hosts of a popular Toronto hip hop podcast.
In response to a question about how he writes his lyrics, Robertson said he bounces his material off confidants willing to be critical, not just his sycophantic admirers — “I need to hear Simon Cowell’s opinion,” he joked, referring to the caustic British record executive and former “American Idol” judge.
ess than 24 hours later, Robertson was firing a handgun into a crowded playground, trying to kill a man seen fleeing in surveillance video. The bullets instead hit two little girls.
