Rapper Dex Osama was shot and killed early Monday morning at a Detroit strip club, according to news and blog reports.

The shooting was believed to have been sparked by an argument that started inside the Crazy Horse strip club on Michigan Avenue on Detroit's southwest side, WXYZ-TV and WDIV-TV reported, citing unnamed Detroit Police sources. Two others were also wounded at the gentlemen's club on Lonyo and Michigan, Fox2Detroit.com reported.

In one of Osama's more popular songs, "Death on Me," he alluded to being a possible target of violence: "My momma said I got death on me/The reason why I got this vest on me....(they) want me dead (expletive)/They put money on my head."

2. So true...

3. Detroit gun laws are pretty lax

To purchase a pistol:

1. go to gun shop, choose piece, complete background check.

2. Wait three days, buy the piece.

3. Go to police station, register weapon

Need to complete a safety course to carry concealed. CCW permit is good for 5 years.

The poverty and the city's financial problems also add to the gun problems they're facing. The police were also under federal supervision until 2014. That city is in dire straights.
