Pregnant Detroit rapper sh0t d3ad by boyfriend in Atlanta

ATLANTA — According to Qualeisha Barnes’ mother, the young woman was sh0t and k!lled while 14 weeks pregnant, and her family is grieving an unfathomable loss.

Loved ones are remembering Barnes, better known by her stage name “Siditty,” for who she was at home—a daughter, a sister, and a source of happiness—rather than for her musical career.

“I know her as Qualeisha. I know her as LeLe. I know her as we, in the same house, in the same bed. That’s what I know her as. All that friend stuff, I don’t care about none of that. That was my sister. That was my baby,” said Shatara Davis, Barnes’ sister.

The family joined hands in prayer, drawing strength from their faith as they attempted to comprehend what they describe as a senseless k!lling. They claim that their coping mechanisms are memories, such as videos of Barnes joking and laughing.

“Generally, if you met LeLe, you instantly loved her and she was such a jokester. She liked to laugh, and she was always cracking jokes on me,” said her mother, Francine Lopez-Stewart.

According to Lopez-Stewart, her daughter’s stage name was a reflection of who she was.

“She loved makeup. She loved dressing up. She loved beauty. She was siditty,” Lopez-Stewart said.

Beyond personality and music, however, Barnes was pursuing a career in healthcare. According to her mother, she wanted to become a nurse.

“She made the dean’s list. She had like two more semesters to go. She was so proud of herself, and we were so proud of her,” Lopez-Stewart said.

The family’s current goal is to obtain justice. Lopez-Stewart wants everyone involved to be held accountable because she thinks multiple people could have contributed to her daughter’s d3ath.

“If you instigate something that causes a murder, then you need some kind of, I mean, you need something. I think you need to go to jail too,” she said.

Barnes had spent roughly ten years in metro Atlanta, according to the family.

According to Atlanta police, the investigation into potential culprits is still ongoing.
