OAKLAND — During the early stages of her burgeoning rap career, Alliana Green spread a false rumor that she’d killed an abusive ex and been cleared by police.
The tragic, bitter irony is that prosecutors now say Green — known best by her stage name, Tan DaGod — died while protecting her boyfriend from deadly harm. Authorities say Green shot at a group of men who’d attended a grand opening for a beauty salon she was promoting, and who’d drawn guns on the couple before Green pulled her own weapon.
