Detroit Shooting Incident
Rapper Skilla Baby was involved in an assault incident that went wrong right outside of his city of Detroit, and thus became a victim. He unfortunately got accidentally wounded at different points of his body. He was hit in the head, hand, back, and thigh by the stray bullets. Luckily, even though it was such a harrowing experience that happened and the wounds were of a physical nature, the artist was back on his feet in no time at all.
Demonstrating significant resilience, Skilla Baby made a public appearance merely a couple of days following the frightening shooting. Unexpectedly, he also showed up at the show of the rapper 42 Dugg. And indeed, he did not simply come and go silently. He performed vigorously, showing the audience a very lively presentation. His constant participation through this powerful show was a clear sign that he meant business about not letting the deplorable incident or his wounds get in their way of his career or public appearances.
Freestyle Response to Attackers
Now, Skilla Baby has chosen to address the ordeal directly through his music and social media platforms. He recently released a hard-hitting, emotionally charged freestyle rap specifically referencing the shooting and targeting unnamed adversaries he perceives as “haters.” A video shared earlier today on his Instagram, subsequently captured by media outlet The Neighborhood Talk, visually confirms that his injured hand remains bandaged during this performance. Within the freestyle lyrics, he delivers pointed lines including: “I don’t fear n****s, I fear God / That n**** shot my truck up 20 times, I never cried,” directly confronting the violence he endured while emphasizing his faith over fear. He continues, “They pushed up on a millionaire, they havin’ too much pride,” suggesting the attack stemmed from envy and arrogance directed towards his success.
Also, centered around a freestyle video on Instagram is Skilla Baby’s caption, which is a written expression of gratitude. He praised the fans in no uncertain terms for the never-ending support right from the start of the trauma, and they were wished well consistently. Furthermore, he talked about his spiritual strength by telling the fans that he is sure of having the strength and God’s grace to face every difficulty and “battle” victoriously.
Gratitude and Resilience Expressed
In his Instagram caption accompanying the freestyle video, Skilla Baby conveyed heartfelt appreciation with messages of inner strength to affirm. He literally said: “Thank you to everybody for yall prayers I’m good mentally and I know God wouldn’t put me through nothing I cant handle” making it crystal clear that he’s psychologically sound after the incident and that he values his strength as a result of his strong faith.
Skilla Baby also hinted a restart of the creative work with the hashtag “#NeckBraidRadio we back 🤞🏽”. He went back again to express gratitude, mainly underlining: “Again thank you to my fans family and everybody else for all the support I’m nothing without yall!” Lastly, he wound up with one of his affirmations that mark his strength and resistance, saying: ” But yall know I’m a soldier 💯,” which is a way of emphasizing his determination and inner strength without fear of being attacked.
Significantly, Skilla Baby released this new freestyle response mere weeks after developments occurred in the official investigation into his shooting. More particularly, Detroit law enforcement officials were able to locate someone with a connection to the brutal drive-by shooting against the rapper. The breakthrough that changed everything first saw the light of day on June 6th when the Redford Township Police Department held a press conference to announce that there was a significant development: the investigating team had already found out the exact vehicle that the perpetrators used in the gun attack.
Suspect Apprehension and Evidence Recovery
As a result of this, when they recognized the car, this gave the police the idea where the car owner was, and they subsequently went and found him. Nevertheless, the police did not communicate to the public who the arrested person was, but they assured that it had happened. It was then, accordingly, that the law enforcement officers used the information to obtain a search warrant and carried out the search in the suspect’s main living place. It is said that the residential property search was lawful, during which officers found a gun and took it as evidence related to the case.
Meanwhile, according to subsequent reporting by CBS News, this suspect is currently facing formal felony charges related to weapons offenses stemming directly from the investigation into the Skilla Baby shooting. These serious criminal charges are actively progressing through the legal system as authorities continue building their case based on the recovered firearm and other gathered evidence.
