LOS ANGELES - Rapper Jay-Z has received a death threat from gunman George Zimmerman.

Zimmerman apparently threatened to "beat Jay-Z" and feed him to "an alligator" after claiming that a production team of the upcoming Trayvon Martin documentary - produced by Jay-Z - "harassed" his family, reports Ace Showbiz.

Zimmerman, who gunned down 17-year-old Martin in February 2012, said he has a score to settle with Jay-Z, since the rapper’s production team began filming a new documentary on the case.

He said the film crew made unannounced visits to the homes of his parents and an uncle in Florida, noting Jay-Z and executive producer Michael Gasparro indirectly "harassed" his family.

Fellow rapper Snoop Dogg jumped to Jay-Z's defense. Snoop wrote on Instagram that Zimmerman would get his retribution if he touched "one hair" on Jay-Z’s head.

“If one hair on Jays hair is touched that’s when the revolution will b televised. ... the system let the [expletive] get away with murder try it again Trayvon Martin Gone but not forgotten.”

Jay-Z is producing a six-part documentary called "Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story," which is based on attorney Lisa Bloom’s book Suspicion Nation.

The project will chronicle the very short life of Martin, his fatal shooting on February 26, 2012, and Zimmerman’s acquittal the following year. - Agencies
