Buckshot, legendary rapper and Black Moon member, has broken his silence after footage of him being viciously assaulted in Brooklyn surfaced on social media.
The “Who Got Da Props” rapper, who was left hospitalized following the assault, issued a statement to AllHipHop expressing his appreciation for those who have offered their well-wishes. “To all my friends, fans, and supporters—thank you for reaching out during this difficult time,” Buckshot began.
“Recently, I was the victim of a violent assault involving multiple individuals armed with weapons, including handguns. This attack stems from ongoing disputes over my property, where I am the rightful owner but have faced issues with unauthorized occupants who escalated the situation to violence.”
The lyricist, who called for the community to band together in an effort to make New York “safer,” voiced his disappointment that the assault occurred in the boroughs where he grew up and currently resides.
