After Zimmerman was contacted by a private investigator who wanted to reach out to him for Jay-Z’s new documentary series entitled Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, which aired on BET on September 10th. Zimmerman called him 55 times and left 36 voicemails, 67 texts, and 27 e-mails in the span of nine days. This included threats to the Carters calling Jay-Z “a b—-” and Beyoncé “a broke w—-”. Later, Zimmerman wrote, “If I see either of them in my life, they’ll find themselves inside a 13-foot gator,”.

Zimmerman also sent messages to Jay-Z’s co-producer, Michael Gasparro, stating that members of a notorious New York City Mafia family were looking for him, according to reports.

George Zimmerman is American known for the fatal shooting of the unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 in Sanford, Florida Twin Lakes Community. Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch coordinator. He was later acquitted of murder charges on July 13, 2013.

Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z have responded to the alleged threats, but the Beyhive flocked to Twitter soon after the threats were released.
