At present, the American rapper Keak Da Sneak occupies a wheelchair after having survived a couple of shooting sequences in 2017. The first time it occurred was on 10 January 2017 in the Venu Night Club situated in Oklahoma after a show. The rapper became cautious the very first time the shooting happened and started to carry a gun with him for his self-defense.
Not forgetting to mention that he bought the gun illegally to protect himself. Nevertheless, he ended up being shot eight times on 21 August 2017 at the gas station in Richmond. This led him into a three days long coma and put him to rest in the hospital bed as he got paralyzed.
Now let us discuss this in detail, his carrying of a gun is what dragged the firearm charge as he became the target during the second shooting. During probation, Keak got arrested on the charges of having possessed an illegal firearm. The gun was actually stolen and retrieved from the car of the renowned leader of “The Hyphy Movement.”
But this is not the end because after stepping out of prison on bail is when the rapper got shot severely eight times. This shooting resulted in the rapper being critically injured. In an interview with the American YouTuber DJ Vlad, Keak mentioned that due to how badly he was affected by the shooting, he had to remove his spleen.
Okay, wait. Why would someone shoot him in the first place? What is the reason behind the shooting? Well, Keak, in an interview with Fox40, confessed that the shooting was actually an attempted robbery. This incident urged Keak to use a gun illegally because, a lot of the time, he travels by himself. As he said, in January, he got shot while someone had tried to rob him.
Even though he was shot in a life-threatening way, the rapper received the orders to complete his prison sentence. However, he did get a reduction to six months as his fans made a public outcry which prompted a “change.org” petition. The petition included a total of 70,000 signatures as the fans protested for their idol, stating that he was injured and disabled.
Keak then spent his time paying for his possession charges in the prison of California State and got released from there five months after serving. The rapper used Twitter as a medium to thank his fans and the press for all their support and concern after his release.
Regarding his recovery, the doctors say that they cannot promise anything about him being able to walk again ever, but the rapper did not lose hope yet, so we shall also provide him our endless love and support and pray for his well-being.
