VIDEO: Chicago Rapper King Yella Shot While Filming Black Lives Matter Video

Chicago Rapper King Yella was filming a Black Lives Matter video when he was shot in a drive-by shooting on Wednesday. After the shooting, King Yella posted the video of the shooting to his Instagram account.

 

Earlier in the week, King Yella put out a call for people to show up wearing red and blue to help him film his new Black Lives Matter video. None of these people apparently considered that it might draw the wrong type of attention to have a large group of men standing around in gang colors.

King Yella posted pictures of his injuries to his Instagram account. It appears that his wounds were minor flesh wounds that were treated with band-aids.

King Yella was only one of ten people shot in Chicago on Wednesday alone. The heroes of Chicago PD are constantly trying to fight back a tide of violence while they aren’t given the resources they need and are facing a hostile public and city administrators.

Black Lives Matter has made it clear that they wish to get rid of the police all-together, in favor of “community solutions.” How are those community solutions working for you?
