West Coast rapper YG has come forward to speak out on the aftermath following his recent recording studio shooting and admitted violence forces him to step away from doing too much work in Los Angeles.

According to YG, he had his daughter with him shortly before his now-infamous LA attack.

“My daughter was just there earlier. For real. You feel me? I’m not looking for no trouble, I’m trying to get this album done so I can stay gone. I wasn’t even supposed to be in LA, I go to Atlanta to record my album. I went out there for a month, it ain’t work out, so I came back to LA. That’s the reason I don’t be in LA recording my album. If you’re somewhere for too long, somebody might find out. You feel me? … [My daughter?] It was wild, she could have been in my hands,” YG said about his daughter being at the recording studio prior to the shooting happening. “I move right, it was just a spot I was recording that was like a loft that had a studio in it, a real studio, so I was in there recording my album but it was like a home spot too so I was living there too to record my album. That was like my crib – [at the hospital] I was like, ‘I’m good, I can walk, I’m straight.’ The hospital I was at, everybody started finding out I was there so I got on.” (106 KMEL)

YG revealed one of the bullets which struck him on Instagram last Saturday (July 11).

Recently, YG revealed he spent minimal time receiving medical attention after the shooting went down.

“I’m good. I left the hospital that night, and the next day I went back to the studio. Nobody wanted me to go. My mama tells me, “What are you talking about ‘going to the studio?’” But you know, I got shit to do — this sh*t don’t stop for nobody. I came straight to the studio on my little crutches – I’m hard to kill.” (Billboard)

YG also revealed Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie reached out to him immediately after the incident happened.

“Everybody — family, friends, the label. Lil’ Boosie Facetimed me. I was in the hospital, in a wheelchair, and I lost all my contacts but I see the 504, so I knew it wasn’t anybody in L.A., so I ask who it is and he says, “It’s Boosie. What’s up man, you straight?” He was real concerned, he was like, “My n—a, you good?” and I’m like “Yeah,” and he was like “All right, my n—a.” I know who cares about me and who’s faking. I don’t have to get shot to figure that out.” (Billboard)

  4. If someone wants to kill you, they will find you wherever you are. If it’s just about the violence where you come from, you don’t have to be at the same spots in the hood where you grew up. Not all of LA is the hood, just don’t move like you used too because obviously there are jealous haters everywhere. Doesn’t help when these rappers make songs about how much better their lives are than everyone that’s still in the ghetto. But that’s another topic.
