Everyone always says the next year will be better than the previous one, but 2022 has not started out great.
There have been a lot of tragic stories and some outright weird ones.
This story has elements of both.
LIL Pnut, also known as NCAA YoungBoy, has reportedly been found shot dead in the woods in his hometown in Alabama.
The influencer, 21, was known for looking like rapper NBA YoungBoy. Union Springs police said they found a body early on Friday, and online outlet The Source confirmed it was that of the comedian and influencer.
Chief Ronnie Felder said the body was found near Hicks Industrial Road, according to WSFA. Lil Pnut gained online fame for looking like the rapper, and he often posted Facebook videos imitating him.
He gathered a following of more than 150,000 on Instagram. YouTuber and close friend clutch318money posted a video where he spoke of Pnut’s death on Friday.
He said: “It’s a real sick feeling but like, I’m heartbroken in so many ways because he went back home to Alabama not so long ago and uh he called me a couple days in a row and was asking you know if he could come back to Louisiana.””
Cops do not surprisingly have know no idea what happened and how he ended up in the woods.
If he was trying to get back to New Orleans, that means he might not have thought he was safe in Alabama.
Are you really safe anywhere in this world, especially in the United States? There are too many senseless deaths to count, and the killers and the victims are getting younger each day.
Hopefully, there will be some justice for Lil Pnut, and his killer will be brought to justice.
