Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire We've Lost Another Rap Star

Guys this one is going to be hard to take, especially here at the holidays. We have lost Drakeo the Ruler. So young, and so talented.

********************************************************************************************
criminal history of Drakeo the Ruler

In January 2017, Caldwell was arrested by the LAPD when they raided a condo where he regularly shot music videos. He was subsequently held at Men's Central Jail after being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. He was released in November.

In March 2018, he was arrested again, this time charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The charges stemmed from a December 2016 shooting in Carson, California where one person was killed and two were injured. He was facing life in prison. Simultaneously, members of his Stinc Team collective, including his brother Ralfy the Plug, were arrested in San Francisco on a variety of charges.



"Greatest Rap Album Ever Recorded from Jail"
On July 25, 2019, he was acquitted of his murder and attempted murder charges in a Compton courthouse. However, the district attorney decided to refile charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle in August, two counts that resulted in a hung jury during his initial trial. His trial date was set for August 3, 2020. While incarcerated, he recorded Thank You for Using GTL, which Pitchfork called "likely the greatest rap album ever recorded from jail".[20] He was released from jail in November 2020 following three years of incarceration after he accepted a deal from the District Attorney's office in which he pled guilty to shooting from a vehicle.

Death
Caldwell was stabbed backstage at around 8:30 p.m. on December 18, 2021, during the "Once Upon a Time in LA" concert. Initial eyewitness accounts reported that he was stabbed in the neck during the altercation. Paramedics arrived at the scene at around 8:40pm and transported Caldwell to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Snoop Dogg cancelled his performance shortly after the altercation, ultimately prompting the event to be cancelled in its entirety. Caldwell was pronounced dead as a result of his wounds on December 19, 2021.

RiverRider,

Remember the saying ''only the good die young'' try not devistate too much.

What are the odds he knew how to use a ruler?

We’ll hold a small, but nice wake for him, so Slummy can say goodbye and have closure.

We ask for pears 🍐 to be sent in lieu of flowers

Thank you.

The death of a felon with multiple convictions, who would have thought?

Bet that there won't be any protests over his death unless it turns out that the killer was a White police officer. Black on Black crime is just business as usual in the 'hood.

Heh

Likely between slim and none...
