I wasn't saying that, we just need a better icon for these things.

Assassinations don't only happen to public figures, you know...

"Assassination is the murder of a prominent person or political figure by a surprise attack, usually for payment or political reasons"

That being said, Rick Ross is a big name, so it could qualify as one still.

Didn't know Ray Finkle had a beef with the rap game.

What if you are killed by an assassin though

I don't believe "assassinate" should be used unless there is a political motive. Therefore it doesn't apply to Biggie, Tupac, or even Lennon, let alone Ross's bum ass.

Dictionary.com disagrees with that.

Quote:

as·sas·si·nate [uh-sas-uh-neyt] Show IPA
verb (used with object), as·sas·si·nat·ed, as·sas·si·nat·ing. 1. to kill suddenly or secretively, especially a politically prominent person; murder premeditatedly and treacherously.

It's not exclusive to political figures.
