A rapper from Japan found himself stranded in Cleveland, even robbed on inner-city streets and activists have turned to the I-Team to find out if anyone can help.

Ryo Muranaka said he sold everything to travel 6,000 miles from Japan to Cleveland’s east side. He did it dreaming of meeting and performing with his hip-hop heroes: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. But he caught the attention of activists when they found him alone, broke and even robbed of his luggage.

We spoke to him using an interpreter function on his phone. We asked why he came to Cleveland, and he answered, simply, “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.” A super fan, but he also admitted coming here the way he did was super risky.

“I thought I could get in the US in exchange for my CD," Muranaka said. “No. No plan. One-way ticket."

James Norton and Kwas Bibbs saw a stranger in great danger. So, they took him in to get him help, but his temporary permission to be in this country has run out. They said they’ve had no help from government agencies or private organizations.

“You might have a reputation for a negative neighborhood, but there are good people in the neighborhood," Norton said.

“Cleveland has a reputation of violence and drugs and all this other stuff, but Cleveland has a soul," Bibbs said.

The FOX 8 I-Team started calling everyone from people with ties to Bone Thugs-n- Harmony, to lawmakers, to lawyers. We quickly found no simple solution to this. We learned, with each passing day, the Japanese rapper runs more of a risk of being arrested by immigration officials and thrown out of the country.

The offices of U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Marcia Fudge told us they’d look into this to see if there’s anything they can do.

Norton and Bibbs said he did briefly get to meet Layzie Bone, one member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. We’re told Layzie Bone put him up in a hotel for a short time, but the band has been on the road.

Through it all, the rapper still has hope.

“I was born in Japan, and I am going to die in the United States," he said.

Salute to him trying to meet the GOAT hip hop group but this story random as hell

 

Bro trippin!

I aint nobody doing a one way trip to japan to see Goku over here..

 

Lmaooooo nikka really brought his ass all the over here to E.99th & St. Clair huh?

The lions did what you supposed to do when you drop fresh food in the zoo...they ate

St. Clair will never change

 

He lucky they ain’t take his manhood

 

Took a one way ticket like Bone out to LA

 

He must have thought he could pull a DJ Ken from chiraq.

TBH that should be made into a movie how he was just found roaming the streets of southside chicago and got discovered by Keef's uncle like that, because he should have been robbed like this guy. Instead, he ended up making beats for the nikkas on the block and producing this banger

 

Dude didn't at least Google where he was going to

 

to that breh. Layzie a real one too.

Bone Thugs #2 GOAT group

 

He fukked up

I have been to hoods in Cali, Pa, VA, and FL. By far Cleveland was the worst. If I would not have been with my mans who was known I had a distinct impression that I would have been food out there.

Even his grandmother was trapped the fukk out

 

Im only vaguely familiar with Japanese rappers that worked with Nujabes and Uyama Hiroto

Rapper named Shing02 with Nujabes.


Shing02 again with Uyama Hiroto.
Relaxing.

 

most random story ever

Probably searched for East 99 & St. Clair in google maps

 

he just wanted to help his nikkas clean up some nikkas no longer breathing NOW
