Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave isn’t ready to let his ex-affiliate Young Lito breathe quite yet. The hip-hop artist has reminded fans just how the former business partner escaped last year’s fatal New York concert shooting unblemished.
Troy jumped on Instagram Friday (April 28) with security footage of Lito ducking for cover when the May 2016 attack went down.

Earlier this month, Young Lito stepped up and defended his image amid Ave’s accusations of ditching him.

This week, New Jersey rapper Joe Budden clowned Ave’s NuPac record sales.
“Before we get out of here this Thursday, I want to congratulate NuPac, this guy Akademiks’ man, I want to congratulate NuPac on a whooping 830 records sold. Great. Life has been lost, f*ckin’ your career is about over. One album in three years, too short, rest in peace, Troy Ave’s career. 830 copies sold. Absolutely nothing. Salute NuPac. It’s not pettiness. I had to say that in case somebody’s looking for Boy Ave’s numbers, because I’m not a numbers guy, if you were looking for them and couldn’t find them on Soundscan because they don’t report 800 copies sold. I’m not responding to him. [Bars?] Never. I’m like Drake now, I’m not responding to 800 copies sold.” (“Everyday Struggle”)

Last week, Joe defended his disinterest in launching a viral attack on the Brooklyn rapper.
“Let me tell you something. My career would be over if I responded to him. Well, it is over. Number two, my girlfriend would never let me waste a bar on the likes of a Troy Ave.” (Complex)
