MOSCOW, IDAHO: Internet sleuths have apparently dug up a rap song allegedly put out by Bryan Kohberger 11 years ago, as the quadruple murder suspect is remanded in custody ahead of his trial. The 28-year-old PhD candidate in criminology at Washington State University is suspected of killing four University of Idaho students.

Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen were stabbed to death in their rented off-campus accommodation in the early hours of November 13, 2022. More than a month after the brutal slayings, Kohberger was identified and taken into custody at his family home in Pennsylvania on December 30.

A video uploaded by YouTuber D.J.M and titled 'Bryan Kohberger (Exarr) - Soundcloud Rap [Yes, this is actually him rapping 11 years ago]' is being attributed to the alleged killer's SoundCloud profile. While there is no music video for the track, the uploader used a TMZ snap of the handcuffed suspect being escorted to an aircraft for the album cover, even attaching a satirical 'Parental Advisory' content warning at the bottom. The YouTube clip has been viewed over 18,000 times at the time of publication.

The lyrics are as follows:

Always the same thing that disrupts my life
Wonder when I’ll change I guess when the time is right
Procrastinating minds arranged to change would be a fight
So I’m pacifist like I’m afraid to get a bloody fist

Look at this my mind is pissed and I keep running
Why is this when I hit it always leaves them stunning

Always gentle giant no defiance I'll build an alliance and still think that I'm present
I'm stuck in the future but I'm never looking at the f**kin present
Keep it up and act like you're all that Here's a cookie too and a present 

Lead from a desert eagle
Going louder than my mother f**kin beagle
And your life you get no sequel Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls
You are not my people
You are evil but I'm devil
And now I'm going regal

Don't f**k with us
You underestimate

Netizens were convinced the song was by Kohberger himself as he mentions “Exarr music” at one point, thus referencing his reported email address exarr1337@yahoo.com.

"I just came across a TikTok of a rap song that #BryanKohberger made years ago and I don’t even know anymore. This case..." one tweeted. "Bryan Kohberger’s first crime was that rap song he put out 11 years ago," another wrote. "Someone tell me the #BryanKohberger rap song is fake lmao!!! Wow," a comment read.

"I couldn't even listen to the entire thing I was embarrassed to even listen to the song," someone else added. "I don't think on its own this would be very disturbing, it's pretty basic 'young people trying to rap' stuff, but paired with the other social media posts I've seen from back in the day plus of course the horrific murders, the guy should have gotten help a long time ago," another offered.

This comes days after a former fellow inmate of Kohberger's claimed that the quadruple murder suspect shouted violent rap lyrics laden with expletives and screamed threats at the guards. Talking to Daily Mail, Valerie Cipollina, 50, who was held at the Monroe County Jail for six hours on a New Year's domestic violence charge said Kohberger yelled out “F–k my enemies and foes,” a line from Lil Wayne’s song 'Multiple Flows.' He also sang violent and misogynistic lyrics from Bad Bunny songs, Cipollina said. When the jailer outside his cell told him to calm down, the suspect allegedly told him, "Come on in motherf***er. You come in here – let's talk." Cipollina continued, "He then screamed at the top of his lungs, saying, 'Come in all of you. Are you scared of me? You should be scared of me. You're going to do nothing to me because I'm going to cut all of you up. Come into this cell and I'll show you I'm a creeper. Come in this cell and I'll cut you up too.'"
