According to the Chicago Tribune, rapper Young Pappy (real name Shaquon Thomas) made fun of a rival gang in his “Shooters” music video, just days before he was fatally gunned down in his hometown.
“You don’t even know how to shoot,” Young Pappy reportedly rapped, in the “Shooters” music video.
The 20-year-old lyricist was fatally wounded on Friday (May 29) when a gunman walked up to him and began shooting. He was struck twice in the back. Several hours later, the rapper was pronounced dead at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

Prior to last week’s fatal shooting, the Chicago Tribune reports that Young Pappy was the target of two shootings last year.
Although Pappy was not fatally injured during last year’s shootings, both incidents led to innocent bystanders losing their lives.
According to investigators, there is a possibility that each of the three shootings stem from gang rivalries. Young Pappy is said to have been a member of the Gangster Disciples, one of three prominent street gangs in the area he was shot.
