Chinx Drugz Wife Janelli Pickens Speaks Out: "It's Very Hard"

MStars News has learned that the wife off Chinx Drugz, a.k.a. Lionel Pickens, has decided to speak out about her husband's murder that happened over the weekend. In an interview with ABC 7, Chinx's widow, Janelli Pickens revealed that she and her kids are having a hard time following the shooting death of the rapper in Queens early Sunday morning.

"It is a hard time, we are going through a lot," Pickens told the news station. "It's a very devastating situation, his kids are greatly affected by all this. They don't quite understand, but it will hit them soon. For his son, who doesn't understand why God's angels have come and taken his father, he just wants to know when he's going to bring him back, and it's hard, it's very hard. A lot of people don't understand that this was his life, was his family."

MStars News has been all over the death of French Montana's friend and Coke Boys member since learning that he was shot multiple times after he had performed in Brooklyn, while driving a Porsche. Drugz's passenger, friend, and fellow Coke Boys member Antar Alziadi, a.k.a. Yemen Cheese, survived the drive-by shooting and is currently in the hospital.

Janelli and Lionel were married eight years, and grew up together in Far Rockaway. They have two daughters, 14 and 11, and a 4-year-old son.

MStars News previously reported that this week has been filled with drama as Chinx's alleged girlfriend, Malika Haqq posted a photo remembering the wonderful times they had together. Erica Mena, a friend of Chinx and his family slammed Malika for her post.

Besides the drama, rappers including Jay Z, Meek Mill, French Montana, and more remembered the rapper with photos, tweets and kind words for the late star. So far, no arrests have been made. Janelli also revealed that she would've been a victim of the shooting if she had gone with her husband that fatal night. Janelli decided to stay home because she was tired, saving her life.

A statement from The Legion Media Group read:   "It is with a heavy heart that The Legion Media Group and 4 Kings Management announce the passing of Lionel Pickens this morning. He was 31. Few details are available about his passing but his management confirmed his passing this morning. The rapper from Queens, New York was a member of French Montana's Coke Boys. (Pickens') dedication, humor and vision will always be remembered." Publicist Chanel Rae stated: "(Pickens) was one of the most talented, professional, and determined rappers this industry had to offer. Further more, he was a friend."
