West Coast rapper YG has stepped forward to speak out on close pal Troy Ave‘s recent incarceration in a publicized fatal concert shooting.

Although careful with his words, YG said he completely understood the decisions Troy made in the heat of the moment.

“It’s sad homie,” YG said about the recent New York shooting. “Troy, that’s my dude, you feel me? One time for Troy. That’s sad ’cause, I don’t even want to say what I want to say on mic, on air, but it’s the same thing. I don’t know bro because I feel like this – if I got popped, I would have done the same thing. I would have made my way out that joint. Period. And that just goes for anybody. Reaction. Protocol. I don’t know, man, it’s sad, I mean, it was backstage at a concert so the first shot shouldn’t have went off like right there.” (WSHH)

Yesterday (June 9), prosecutors announced Ave’s indictment on multiple felony charges.

Earlier this week, Troy proclaimed his innocence and intent to receive bail from jail.

“I lost my best friend and the worst part about it is I didn’t realize he was my best friend until I lost him. And that sh*t hurts worse than these bullets from when I got shot. It’s out of the elements, out of my control, can’t do nothing but pour salt into the wound. … I got no choice but to adapt – Shout-out to everyone that’s been supporting me. It’s Free Troy Ave. As soon as I get a bail I’m up out of here and then the world will know the truth. They’ll know I’m innocent.” (DatPiff)

Recently, G-Unit boss 50 Cent spoke up for Troy amid him being charged for attempted murder following the shooting.
