Rivalries between various camps in the entertainment industry is becoming a common occurrence these days, with some animosity turning violent, especially among rappers and hip-hop artists. And this time, another rapper who appears to have been on an enemy hit list has been shot.

In the early morning hours of Sunday October 14, 2018, Rapper Yella Beezy got riddled with bullets while driving his car in Lewisville, Texas. Miraculously, he is still alive, even though he got hit by at least three bullets.

According to reports, Beezy is receiving medical attention in a hospital.

What Happened to Yella Beezy?

Lewisville Police said that Beezy was driving on the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Texas when a car pulled up alongside his car, and a passenger began to shoot at Beezy. The shooter fired more than 12 bullets before the car sped away.

Beezy was found wounded in his car along State Highway 121 at around 3:30 a.m. on October 14.

While it is still not clear who shot Beezy, people are already speculating about what led to his shooting. They are saying that the incident is a retaliation against the death of comedian Roylee Pate, who was shot in the leg about two weeks ago.

Was It an Act of Revenge?

Pate’s injury led to the formation of a blood clot in his lung and he died of resultant complications on October 13, 2018.

Beezy and Pate were sworn enemies, so many are now saying that the rapper’s shooting is a revenge attack for Pate’s death.

Even though Beezy hasn’t officially been implicated in Pate’s death, one Twitter user has claimed to have overheard a conversation about retaliation against Beezy for Pate’s death.

Now, people are eager to know more about the injured rapper. So, here are some facts about Yella Beezy.

Beezy Survived a Tough Childhood

Beezy’s father died when the rapper was just 12 years old, and then his mother lost her job when he was 15. So, he had to start working at a young age to support his family as both his mother and stepfather had no money coming in.
