The rap lifestyle gets wild.
From fast money to fast cars,
it can be easy to get caught up in all the excitement.
But sometimes when you live the fast life,
it can come crashing down at any moment.
Here is a look at some popular rappers who get a little carried away
and ended up crashing their whip.
Rod Wave
Rod Wave is a popular rapper and singer from St. Petersburg, Florida.
He is known for his powerful voice and soulful blend of R&B and hip hop.
He rose to fame after his single Heart on Ice went Viral on Tik Tok in 2019
and followed up with his debut album Ghetto Gospel later that year.
Before going viral, Rod had only been releasing music for a year and ended up being featured on the XXL Freshman Class in 2020. So, to go from zero to a hundred that fast can be pretty mind-blowing. But when you blow up that quickly, it’s bound to catch up to you at some point and in 2020, Rod Wave was involved in a near-fatal car accident that caused internal brain bleeding and other injuries. In July 2020,
Rod had been only releasing music for a year
and ended up being featured on the XXL Freshman Class in 2020.
So to go from 0 to 100 that fast can be pretty mind-blowing.
But when you blow up that quickly it's bound to catch up to you at some point.
And in 2020, Rod Wave was involved in a near fatal car accident,
that caused internal brain bleeding and other injuries.
In July 2020,
Rod posted a photo to his Instagram of a totaled 2020 Corvette Stingray with the caption,
“Hurt Me to My Heart the Way Our Love Ended”.
Fans were initially confused as to whether Rod was hurt or just teasing a new music video.
Not long after, the artist released a song and music video called Through the Wire
where he described what happened in the accident.
The wrecked vehicle is featured in the video and Rod raps about what happened in the incident saying
“Ran the light and hit a pole, a head on collision
Had a meeting with my daughters but I’m gonna miss it
Went to bleeding out my head, dude he came to get me”
The name of the song is a reference to the famous track of the same name by Kanye West
where he raps with his jaw wired shut after being in a near-fatal car accident.
On the track, Rod seems to suggest that he ran a red light and was hit by another driver.
He references the fact that the collision gave him internal bleeding
and brain trauma and forced him to reconsider his reckless lifestyle.
Luckily, it seems as though Rod is doing fine now and has continued to release bangers.
Hopefully, he will slow down next time and avoid another potentially fatal accident.
But if you thought that was crazy,
this next rapper crashed his Rolls Royce "just two weeks after nearly dying in a plane crash.
Here’s what happened…
Post Malone
Post Malone is a rapper, singer,
and platinum-selling artist originally from Syracuse, New York
but raised in Texas.
Post is known for hits like Rockstar featuring 21 Savage and Congratulations featuring Quavo,
as well as his ability to blend the genres of rock, hip hop, and pop.
Post has gotten billions of streams on his music
and has an estimated net worth of over 24 million dollars.\
But with all the success, there are bound to be a few bumps in the road.
On September 7th, 2018,
Post was involved in a pretty bad car accident when his Rolls Royce
collided with a Kia before smashing into a fence and coming to a stop in some shrubs.
Post was being driven around by his assistant
and was in the passenger seat during the crash.
It was determined that alcohol was not involved, and no one was seriously injured.
This crash came just two weeks after Post was involved in another potentially life-threatening incident
when his private jet was forced to make an emergency landing after two tires blew out during take-off.
Post, along with 12 other people
were flying in a jet from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
After taking off, the pilot noticed that a service door was open.
According to the authorities,
the plane was over its maximum weight, which caused the tired to blow out.
The plane was forced to make an emergency landing at New York Stewart International Airport in Orange County.
Luckily, the landing was successful,
and no one was injured but the plane suffered significant damage
and the incident could have seriously injured or killed the passengers aboard – including Post.
The Federal Aviation Administration later determined that it was the pilot’s fault
for letting the passengers exceed the maximum weight,
but since no one was hurt or killed he wasn’t charged with a crime.
So, Post survived two potentially life-threatening situations in just two weeks.
He took to Twitter to comment on the incidents saying ”god must hate me lol”.
Although Post has been through a lot,
his multiple platinum-selling albums
and the fact that he survived both accidents without any injuries prove that God can’t hate him that much.
But if you thought that was crazy,
this next rapper crashed a white Lamborghini Spyder and fled the scene,
only to be sued by the rental car company who owned it for $350,000.
NBA Youngboy
NBA Youngboy is a rapper and singer from Baton Rouge, LA
who lives a pretty wild lifestyle.
Since dropping out of school at age 14 to pursue a music career,
Youngboy has been in and out of jail and is currently fighting a federal gun charge
that could put the rapper behind bars for a while.
But one thing about Youngboy
is that he doesn’t make it easy for authorities to bring him in
and is known to flee the scene of the crime after doing something illegal.
When the LAPD tried to pull him over for the gun charge,
he attempted to flee the scene and had to be tracked by a K9 unit.
Check out our video on rappers who ran from the cops for more info on this incident.
But that wasn’t the first time that Youngboy fled from a crime scene.
Back in 2017, he was in a pretty bad car wreck,
and rather than telling authorities,
he took off and left the wrecked vehicle in the street for police to find.
On Friday, June 29th, 2017,
Youngboy was driving around the Hollywood Hills area in Los Angeles in a white Lamborghini Huracan Spyder.
Around midnight, Youngboy lost control of the vehicle
and crashed into a parked car near the intersection of Romaine Street and Genesee Avenue.
Police and firefighters showed up at the scene around 1 am and the Lamborghini had been abandoned.
Witnesses claim that the driver and the passengers got out of the vehicle and took off in a Blue Bentley.
No one was in the other vehicle and therefore
Youngboy wasn’t wanted on any criminal charges for fleeing the scene.
However, he did not own the Lamborghini nor was he supposed to be driving it,
and ended up getting hit with an expensive lawsuit by the owner of the vehicle.
The Lambo was owned by a rental company called Exotic Car Rental.
Youngboy was only 17 at the time and therefore not legally allowed to rent a car.
Instead, it was rented by his manager,
Desmond Hardnett who signed a contract stating that he would be the only person behind the wheel of the vehicle.
Both Hardnett and Youngboy were named in the lawsuit
and the company was seeking $350,000 in damages to replace the car.
After the lawsuit was reported by Worldstar and other media outlets,
Youngboy took to social media to give his thoughts on the matter.
He curses out the media and the Lamborghini owner
and says that he wasn’t even the one driving,
it was one of his boys.
But it doesn’t matter anyway because he’s rich.
**** with us dog.
**** em, **** that Lambo, ***** I wasn't even the one driving it.
***** who the police showed up in there boy?
Nah common, [Unintelligible] was driving the car, **** that dog ass ***** I'm rich.
So for most what would be a life-changing lawsuit,
is just another crazy day in the wild life of NBA Youngboy.
But Youngboy isn’t the only rapper
to get in an accident behind the wheel of a sports car.
This next rapper and his producer were almost killed behind the wheel of a white Ferrari 812 Superfast.
Let’s get right into it…
Swae Lee
Swae Lee is one half of the hip-hop super-duo Rae Shremmurd.
Swae and his brother Jimi were discovered by super producer and mogul Mike Will Made it back in 2013
and the team has gone on to release a bunch of platinum hits and successful albums.
But even the richest, most successful rappers still go through hard times,
and on New Year’s Eve 2021,
Swae and Mike Will Made it were nearly killed in a car accident.
On January 1st, 2021,
Mike Will posted a series of photos to Instagram of a totaled Ferrari Superfast 812.
The caption of the post referenced the fact that he and Swae were almost killed in an accident,
but God let them slide with just a few bruises.
Swae also took to Twitter to remind fans to wear a seatbelt
and not risk their lives to look cool.
Although it wasn’t immediately clear what went down,
in another post on Instagram,
Mike gave more of an explanation of what happened.
He wrote: “Anything defeated should be celebrated…PS:
U have to heat up tires on the Rari before driving it in the cold
for the traction to work properly…
otherwise the 812 is like a stick of dynamite inside of a coke can on ice skates while driving in the cold,
u can easily lose all control at any given moment...”
Many people forget that driving a sports car is not the same as driving a regular vehicle.
It seems like the duo simply didn’t take the proper precautions and ended up losing control of the car.
But it also seems like they’ve learned a lesson
and will be a bit more careful the next time they get behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
If you thought that story was crazy,
this next rapper got arrested after he crashed his BMW into three other cars
during a street race while he was high.
Yupp you heard that right, here’s what happened..
PNB Rock
PnB Rock is a rapper and singer from Philadelphia, PA,
best known for hit tracks like Fleek and Selfish.
The artist is known for his soulful autotune singing style and wild behavior.
He was arrested back in 2018 for pissing in a hotel room after being kicked out for smoking weed
and then again in 2019 on drug and gun charges.
Most recently, the rapper was arrested for driving under the influence
after slamming his white BMW into a row of parked cars in Burbank, California.
The incident happened in January 2020,
and Burbank PD saw the whole thing go down.
They say that they witnessed the white BMW Sedan racing with a blue Rolls Royce Wraith down a local street.
The race didn’t last very long,
because the BMW crashed into a row of parked cars and ended up flipping onto its side.
There was even a woman inside one of the vehicles, but she escaped with minor injuries.
The cops say the car was going over 100 miles per hour when it crashed, and PnB Rock was lucky to be alive.
When police went to question him,
they say PnB reeked of marijuana and had a small amount in his pockets.
Weed is legal in California,
so simple possession of the drug is not a crime.
However, you still aren’t allowed to drive while under the influence –
especially if you're drag racing and endangering the lives of others.
The rapper was arrested and held on a $100,000 bond but later released.
Photos released by TMZ
show that the damage was pretty bad,
and it’s not clear whether the artist was injured or not.
PNB Rock’s career is not as red hot as it was back in 2016,
however, he continues to release music and recently dropped a single with the deceased King Von called Rose Gold.
Hopefully, PnB Rock can get back in the studio
and focus on music, so he won’t be out smoking weed and drag racing in the streets of California.
But believe it or not PnB Rock isn’t the only rapper to crash into a parked car.
This next rapper totaled his Tesla
after crashing it into a parked Honda on the way home from a late-night studio session.
Tyler the Creator
Tyler the Creator is a rapper, producer,
and visual artist from Los Angeles, California.
Tyler first blew up back in 2010
with the alternative rap group Odd Future
and has gone on to release a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums like Flower boy and Igor.
Tyler is known for his genre-blending musical style and hard work ethic.
But when you push yourself to the limits,
sometimes you put yourself in danger
and Tyler was in a pretty serious car accident after coming home from the studio late one night.
Back in October 2018,
Tyler was driving home from a music studio
after working on the soundtrack to the film the Grinch
that he co-produced with legendary composer Danny Elfman.
Around 1 am, Tyler ended up crashing his white Tesla Model X
into a parked Honda CRV somewhere near the UCLA campus in LA.
Although the car was totaled,
Tyler managed to escape with no injuries and no one else was in the Honda.
He called 911 and left his information
so he would not be charged with a hit and run,
and even managed to save his laptop from the wreckage –
which contained all the work he had been doing.
In an interview with Kerwin Frost,
Tyler describes the night of the incident and claims that he was just overworked
and used to going to bed early.
He closed his eyes for a second and the next thing he knew, he had slammed into the Honda.
Tyler is known for being straight edge
and therefore was not under the influence when he crashed the vehicle,
so there were no lawsuits or criminal charges filed due to the accident.
TMZ caught up with the owner of the Honda later that night,
who was obviously bummed that his car was totaled,
but happy to hear that it was a famous rapper who crashed into him.
That way maybe he’d get a pretty nice check.
It’s not clear whether Tyler hooked the kid up or just let the insurance company sort it out.
But the owner of the Honda never came forward to say that he got scammed,
which means he probably ended up doing ok.
Hopefully, next time Tyler will learn to take a nap before leaving the studio
if he’s going to be up late working.
Or at least hire a driver so he doesn’t fall asleep at the wheel.
