Florida rapper Project Youngin was apparently shot at while previewing a
new track on Instagram live on July 29th. You're watching What's Trending, I'm
Martine Beerman. Make sure to subscribe for more trending news stories. Project
Youngin whose real name is Rasheed Jamaal Hall is a promising up-and-comer
in Florida's rap scene, known for his collaboration with lil baby. And the
track "biggest blessing" featuring Young Boy Never Broke Again. In May he released
a track with Quando Rondo called "Yesterday." On Instagram live. youngin
was sharing a track from his upcoming mixtape "thug soljas."
After about 40 seconds though, shots ring out and young and falls out of view. Youngin: "oh
man. 'Thug Soljas' on the way man, that's how we rockin' man..."
there hasn't been a ton of
information released about the incident since Sunday, but youngin' apparently
survived the attack. His team on Twitter wrote "thank you everyone for your
prayers, we'll let you know about Project youngin's condition soon." His latest
Instagram post is from the day of the shooting it's a clip of a track from
thug soulja's. Youngin's friend Julio Foolio posted a video of them together on
Instagram along with the caption "stay up Big Brother."
And we're hoping that this indicates that youngin
survived the attack, but he may not be out of the woods yet. There are also a
few comments putting forth that the shooting is fake, including this headline
from scallywag & vagabond that starts with the headline "PR job?" but at this
moment, there's no indication that that was the case and right now we have every
reason to believe that somebody shot at Project Youngin. Plus, like who fakes
their own potential death at the hands of a shooter for a PR stunt? That would
be awful. He had previously shared photos from a
recording studio in Broward County Florida which double-xl magazine pointed
out is the same area where xxxtentacion was shot and killed in June. Four
suspects have been indicted connected to the death of xxxtentacion. Three of
those suspects have been taken into custody. A fourth suspect Trayvon Newsome
remains at large. As of right now, there's nothing really to connect the shooting
at Project Youngin' with the murder of xxxtentacion except for the fact that
they're both rappers in South Florida. And with live streaming being more
popular, incidents like this have unfortunately become more common. In 2016,
Bryan Fields was shot in the street while he was streaming live on Facebook.
According to police it was retaliation for a crime fields had allegedly
committed. And we previously told you about Prentiss Robinson who was always
seen live streaming around Wingate North Carolina. He was also shot and killed on
camera. Right now, we're hoping for a swift and full recovery for Project
Youngin and our thoughts are with him and his family. And if we get any
additional information about his condition after this video comes out,
we'll update it in the description below. Thanks for watching and for more stories
