I lördags gick rapparen Drakeo The Ruler bort efter vad som rapporterats vara en knivhuggning i halsen. Incidenten skedde på festivalen Once Upon A Time In L.A. i lördags, kort innan rapparen skulle gå upp på scenen. En annan som skulle uppträda kort efter händelsen var Snoop Dogg, som nu har gått ut med ett känslosamt uttalande.
“I’m saddened by the events that took place last night at Once Upon a Time in LA festival. My condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Drakeo the Ruler. I’m not with anything negative and as one of the many performers, I was there to spread positive vibes only to my city of LA.”
Utöver att skicka sina kondoleanser förklarar han också att han lämnade festivalområdet så fort han nåddes av nyheten och att han ber för fred bland sina kollegor.
“Last night I was in my dressing room when I was informed about the incident and chose to immediately leave the festival grounds. My prayers go out to everyone affected by [the] tragedy. Please take care, love one another and stay safe ya’ll. I’M PRAYING FOR PEACE IN HIP-HOP.”

Det är fortfarande oklart vem eller vilka som ligger bakom dådet och varför situationen uppstod. Men Snoop Doggs uttalande verkar göra gällande att andra rappare varit involverade, i kombination med uppgifter om att knivhuggningen ska ha skett backstage.
Många andra har också reagerat på den tragiska händelsen. Några av dem är Drake, Tory Lanez och Jim Jones.
“Rip to this brother Drakeo, this is sad. To all rappers I urge [you] to protect [yourself], start to move tactical. 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”, skriver den sistnämnda.
RIP Drakeo The Ruler

Drakeo was killed while working. Was there for a performance. All these get out the streets tweets/leave your city tweets. Shut the fuck up. No reason why a knife should be able to be snuck into a music festival. Especially since the Travis Scott shit. Rip Drakeo hope his fam sue
