Drakeo the Ruler has been stabbed to death. In the wake of this devastating news, video footage allegedly showing Drakeo the Ruler in a fight before fatal stabbing has popped up on the internet. The fatal stabbing happened at the Once Upon a Time in L.A. music festival.
Confirming the sad news to CNN, a publicist, Jawson, who worked with Drakeo, said:
“I can confirm his passing but am in shock and unable to share any further details at this time. I’ll be releasing a statement from his family as soon as we’re able.”
Amid the news of Drakeo’s death, a video has been floating around on social media, which allegedly shows a fight involving the “Talk to Me” artist. The video shows a large number of people fighting before some people in the group run out via a gate separating the backstage area from the general crowd.
Following the news of Drakeo’s death, celebrities shared their condolences online, including Drake, who wrote on his Instagram Stories, “Nah man this sh*t isn’t right for real wtf are we doing. Always picked my spirit up with your energy RIP Drakeo Crossed fingers.”
Jim Jones added, “Rip to this brother Drakeo this is sad, to all rappers I urge u to protect urself start to move tactically. Preservation of life is everything they do not value our lives anymore we are targeted. They know who we are cause of our fame but we don’t know who they are because of our fame. I pray every day I make it home to my family because it’s that serious out here for us. Feels like we lost a rapper every week this year.”
There has been an uptick of rappers being murdered over the last three years or so. Some very high profile, like Nipsey Hussle and Young Dolph, and many like Drakeo, who have been grinding on the local level for years. Senseless violence needs to stop, but people have been asking for senseless violence to stop for decades without much luck.
