In that regard, the rapper's father maintained that "He was shot, but he is OK. … He called me and said, 'Don't say anything to anybody.'"
This is not the first time the young man has experienced a similar situation. According to The New York Post, the rapper moved from the area where the shooting took place two years ago because he feared for his safety, including an incident in which other assailants "fired 22 bullets" at his parents' home a few years ago.
