Rising Houston rap star Doughbeezy is in the hospital after he was attacked and pistol-whipped by an assailant during an attempted home invasion on Tuesday night (January 20).

"My life was almost taken from me last night. Nothing or no one but God was watching over me, I’m suppose to be dead," the rapper wrote to caption an Instagram post he has since deleted.

The picture showed Beezy with a large amount of swelling above his right eye. The rapper also posted a screenshot of the KHOU 11 News report which detailed the incident.

According to the report, which doesn't identify Beezy or any of the victims, the two male suspects approached a family outside of their residence. One victim, presumably Beezy, was struck in the face with a handgun, while the other victims were ordered inside of the house.

In his own account (posted with the deleted Instagram pic), Beezy recounts how he was able to escape to his car, retrieve his gun and shoot one of the suspects, who is now dead.

When the gunman got instructed to shoot me, he froze. When they tried to kidnap me in my own car, I was able to fight my way out the car before being pistol whipped. After being pistol whipped, my friend and her family pulled up and we all got instructed to go in the house and that’s when God made a way for to break loose and make it back to my trunk for my pistol. If I never was able to break away for my trunk, I wouldn’t be here today telling you this story.

Stop and take a second to thank God for very thing you have. And when you’re done, take a moment to tell your family and the people close to you that you love them. My daughter will be born in a week and if it wasn’t for God, I wouldn’t be here to see her to see her take her first breath. #Blessed

Last year, Doughbeezy released his Footprints On The Moon mixtape, which featured collaborations with Killa Kyleon and Propain. He posted his latest music video "I'm From Texas" to Vevo earlier this month.
