Rapper Kyyngg was shot multiple times in an attempted robbery. Despite rumors that the incident left him dead, he is still alive.
Hip Hop commentator DJ Akademiks posted a video of the New Orleans rapper recovering from the bullet wounds in a hospital bed. In the graphic video, which you can watch below, Kyyngg implies that the robbery was motivated by jealousy.
“People envy you for no reason, that wants what you got but don’t want to work as hard as you to get what you got,” the rapper said from the hospital bed.
The 23-year-old rapper was reportedly shot five times. A graphic photo shows at least two bullet wounds on his leg. Prior to the incident, the rapper was released from jail and reportedly was celebrating getting all his charges dropped.
