YG Opens Up For First Time About His Recent Shooting

YG reveals what went through his mind when he was shot.

YG - who was shot in the hip earlier this month - is finally opening up about the incident.

"I got lucky because a main artery is right there, right around the groin," the Compton MC said in a Wednesday (Jun. 24) interview with Billboard. "The bullet didn’t go that deep, and it didn’t hit any bones."

Although original reports indicated that the rapper was shot three times, YG said he was only shot once. "It was three bullet holes because it went in, went out and went back in again," he said before clarifying some rumors. "It was not gang-related at all. It just happened out of the blue. We don’t know who did it, we don’t know why. We don’t know nothing."

During the interview, YG was also asked what went through his mind at the time.

"Survival," he said. "After I got shot, I’m telling everybody, 'Take me to the hospital, because I can’t die.' We hop in my homie’s car and bam -- we got in a car accident! We hit an island trying to avoid another car. We had to hop out of the totaled car, hop in another car. At the hospital we had to tell people, 'Take me serious right now -- you don’t even understand what’s going on.' It was wild."

But the MC said he's feeling "good" now, adding that he left the hospital that same night and returned to work in a studio the next day. He also revealed that Lil Boosie FaceTimed him to see how he was doing following the shooting.

The rapper is currently working on Still Krazy, the follow-up to last year's My Krazy Life.
