Violence in the rap world is nothing new, recently a rapper Chinkz was shot dead, Lil Wayne’s tour bus was shot at, and we all know Suge Knight.

This is just in the past few months; there is a longer, deadlier history before that. Somehow it keeps perpetuating and is never left behind.

Rapper YG was shot in a Los Angeles recording studio by an unknown assailant. The rapper was shot three times in the hip, but somehow managed to make his way to hospital where he’s recuperating.

TMZ reports:

“Rapper YG was shot early Friday morning at an L.A. recording studio … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us, it happened at around 1:45 AM in Studio City. We’re told someone shot YG 3 times in the hip. Somehow the rapper was able to get in his car and someone from his group drove him to a nearby hospital.

Cops were called and found multiple shell casings and blood on the sidewalk. Police went to the hospital to interview YG but we are told he was “very uncooperative.” YG’s rep says the injuries are not life threatening, and he’s doing fine. We’re told the shooter is still on the loose.”
