A trio of attackers associated with a criminal squatter pistol-whipped iconic Brooklyn rapper Buckshot as they “tried to Tupac ” him, the musician said.
The rapper was seriously hurt and hospitalized after the Oct. 28 beatdown, in which a gang of thugs set upon him near an East Flatbush building he owns.
The member of rap supergroup Boot Camp Clik was attacked shortly before 5 p.m. on East 51st Street. The NYPD is investigating the gang assault.
The violent incident left him with a concussion, a broken nose, and knots on his forehead, Buckshot, 49, exclusively told The Post.
“There were at least three guys. They hit me with a gun twice. I still got a lump on the back of my head,” said the rapper, who was out of the hospital and on the mend Friday.
Disturbing footage of the aftermath of the attack, filmed by passersby and widely distributed on social media, showing a bloodied Buckshot on the ground, struggling to get to his feet.
