Rap legend The Kidd Creole has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a homeless man to death in New York.

The 57-year-old, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, was taken into custody in the Bronx before being charged on Wednesday night.

The homeless man was found stabbed on a sidewalk in Midtown just before midnight on Tuesday.

Police say Glover got into a fight with the 55-year-old man, which resulted in the man being stabbed on East 44th Street and Third Avenue.

Authorities responding to a 911 call had initially thought the man was passed out ? until they saw multiple stab wounds.

The man was rushed to Bellevue Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Glover, who works as a security guard and handyman in the area, was tied to the stabbing via surveillance footage, a police source told the NY Daily News.

'They had no prior relationship. They had words. Things got out of hand. It was some sort of diss,' the source said.

'He gave some statements and he's being charged.'

Police said the victim was well known to authorities with 17 prior arrests to his name, CBS reports.

Glover was one of the members of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - a hip hop group founded in the Bronx in the 1970s.

The group rose to prominence in the 80s and are credited as being one of the most influential hip hop acts.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were the first hip hop group to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
