As if this story needed any more surreal twists, Sahel Kazemi’s former boyfriend, Keith Norfleet, wrote and performed a rap song about killing an older man with a handgun about four months ago. NASHVILLE CITY PAPER uncovered the song on Tuesday, in which Norfleet, an aspiring rapper who goes by the name of KaNe, raps about guns, putting a clip in someone’s mouth, and telling an older man, “you’ll die, I promise.” The state medical examiner has said that it’s likely Kazemi orchestrated the murder-suicide of herself and her boyfriend, ex-Titans quarterback Steve McNair, but police are not yet ruling out any possibilities.

The rap, entitled “Closed Casket,” was downloaded onto SoundClick.com on Feb. 2, which is after Kazemi and McNair began their relationship. Norfleet voluntarily talked to police the day after the shootings, and is not considered a suspect. But he has admitted being in the Nashville condo the day of the tragedy, saying that he was looking for Kazemi. Link to “Closed Casket” below.
Norfleet, who attended high school with Kazemi in Florida and moved with her to Nashville, posted more than 30 rap mixes onto SoundClick, many of them which appear to comment on his relationship with Kazemi.
The final verse in the song, set to Eminem’s “Nail in the Coffin” instrumental track, is as follows:
“If you ever do it again b***h I’m not rapping
I’m getting a clip and clapping and I’m not laughing
They’re wrapping you up for your little trip to the morgue
While I’m preparing for my trip to the shore,
Don’t ignore me, I’m not lying, I couldn’t be more honest
If you ever do it again, you’ll die, I promise.”
I’m no music critic, but I just listened to the rap, and Norfleet needs to be arrested right now. And it has nothing to do with the shootings.

LOSER!!!!

Who’s the loser?
Kazemi
Norfleet
McNair
All of the Above
I’m surprised at McNair’s inability to score anything more than that skeezy piece of trash. There used to be a day when athletes could cruise a college campus and score any piece of ass they wanted… and there’s NOOOOOO WAY that broad was going to Vandy.

give me a freakin’ break. this assclown is looking for some street cred to push his feeble rap career. what a punk! he is simply trying to benefit from the tragic death of 2 people.
C’mon Chief, don’t be a part of this one.

Police point to Kazemi buying a gun the week prior. She probably bought to protect herself from this Norfleet freak. Why was this dude inside McNair’s apartment on the day of the killing. The ballistics will hopefully solve this.

You’re seriously reachin’ on trying to make a connection between the rap (well if you can really call it rap) song and the murders that just took place. If you listen halfway close (which I warn you is going to be very painful to do) to the song he mentions the person’s name that he is referring to as well as makes references to the fact that the person also knows his family and well as his family knowing him. Obviously it’s not directed toward McNair but either way….it’s a pretty sad excuse for artistic expression! Am I saying he isn’t involved in any way…nope…just saying the tying the song into this investigation is far-fetched and at best unfounded. He does look dumb enuf to definitely be an accessory to the crime though no doubt! haha!

Talk all the sh*t u like . Keith is the big winner in all this. Free publicity for his rap career, he gets to up his street cred by being tied to a murder. Steve Mcnair got his sloppy seconds ( and you think keith had to buy her a escalade, sh*t he didnt even buy her a happy meal) Oh yeah and hes still alive. Btw if he did murder them…hes a criminal genius.

The more I think about this, the more I think she KNEW it was over w/ Steve so she was going back to Norfleet. She knew after the DUI and her dumbass saying “I’m high” that it was over. She was way too immature and had become a huge liability to McNair. She cried on Norfleet’s shoulder and told him how pissed she was and how she and Norfleet would get back together.
Steve went out Fri. night without her so she calls Norfleet over to cuddle and bang her. Steve comes in drunk off his ass and plops on the couch. Douchebag Norfleet caps him in the head (each side of the temple consecutively as he probably walked to the other side of McNair to make sure he was dead and fired on the other side of the temple while probably talking shit to a dead McNair as he hated his guts so badly).
Ole girl freaks out and he says “I did you a favor, you have nothing to worry about now. I love you and I never want to see you hurt like that again.” She is still freaking out and Norfleet realizes he has to get rid of her crazy ass since she is a witness. She takes one to the temple after Norfleet tells her to sit beside McNair and “shut the fuck UP!” and he then puts the gun in her left hand while gripping over her and shoots 2 more shots to McNair’s chest to ensure that she has gunpowder residue on her hand.
Unbeknowing to anyone, Norfleet had keys to the condo (very easily could have had one made at anytime, especially after driving the Escalade for her after the DUI) locks up the door behind him and is on his merry way just like he has rapped about.
