“I don’t get these celebrities get sexual assault charges like bro you rich pussy is thrown at you , and you wanna offend someone that ain’t trying to give it up. Someone explain it,” wrote another Twitter user.
Beezy’s 2018 shooting moved fans on social media as well as collaborators to send a wave of good wishes and prayers for recovery via social media, WKYS reported.
The rapper’s 2017 track “That’s On Me” became a huge hit and he is known for his mixtapes “Ain’t No Goin’ Bacc” and “Baccend Beezy.”
