Aspiring rapper Qaw'mane "Young QC" Wilson, 30, has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for hiring a hitman to murder his mother, Yolanda Holmes, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
"The word is ‘matricide,’ meaning murder of one’s own mother,” Cook County Judge Stanley Sacks said during the sentencing Friday. "Whatever he wanted, his mother gave to him. A car. A job. One could say he was spoiled. She gave Qaw’mane life, and it was his choice to take it away from her.”
The murderer, Eugene Spencer, shot holmes in her sleep in 2012, and then, knocked out Holmes's boyfriend unconscious. Afterward, Spencer engaged in a phone call with Wilson who told Spencer, "make sure the bitch is dead." Spencer returned to stab Holmes.
Wilson later collected money from his mother's bank accounts, which he used to customize a Mustang that she had given him. He also tossed thousands of dollars into a crowd of people for a music video. The video was played for the jury.
Spencer was sentenced to 100 years in prison.
Wilson's last words to the jury, before his sentencing, were, “I just want to say, nobody loved my mother more than me. She was all I had. That’s it.”
Aspiring Rapper Young QC Gets 99 Years In Prison For Mother Murder Plot
His mother spoiled him, but it apparently wasn’t enough.
We often hear rappers spin tales of their rugged upbringings in their songs. Artists spit bars about struggling to get food on the table or having absentee parents causing them to find a makeshift family on the streets with gangs. Qaw’mane “Young QC” Wilson reportedly didn’t have that life. The 23-year-old’s mother, Yolanda Holmes, doted on her only child, reportedly gifting him with luxury clothing, jewelry, and even a Mustang.
According to a report made by The Chicago Sun-Times, Wilson wasn’t satisfied. A Chicago judge, along with prosecutors, believes that Wilson hired two of his friends to murder his mother because he wanted to collect on her life insurance. It’s alleged that Wilson’s girlfriend drove with their friend Eugene Spencer over to Yolanda’s apartment. It was there that the unsuspecting mother was shot and killed by Spencer while sleeping in her bed.
However, things didn’t go as easy as they expected, because Yolanda’s boyfriend put up a fight. The boyfriend was then knocked unconscious, so Spencer left and called Wilson to update him on what had happened. “Make sure the b*tch is dead,” Wilson alleged told his friend. Then, Spencer returned to the scene and repeatedly stabbed Yolanda.
Following her death, Wilson collected the insurance money and customized his Mustang. It’s also reported that he took out thousands of dollars from the bank and “made it rain” on his fans in a moment shared on social media. “The word is ‘matricide,’ meaning murder of one’s own mother,” the judge said during Wilson’s sentencing.
“Whatever he wanted, his mother gave to him. A car. A job,” the judge continued. “One could say he was spoiled. She gave Qaw’mane life, and it was his choice to take it way from her.” Wilson was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Spencer was given 100 years. “I just want to say, nobody loved my mother more than me,” Wilson reportedly said during his sentencing hearing. “She was all I had. That’s it.”
