What happened to Skilla Baby?
As previously reported by Sombra, Skilla Baby was shot in his hometown of Detroit last month. He reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and a graze wound to the head while driving an SUV near Redford Township. The shooting reportedly took place over an 8-mile driveway on May 22, with multiple shell casings found strewn across the road. Skilla allegedly lost control of the vehicle after shots were fired, crashing into a nearby building. Just weeks later, Detroit police arrested a suspect after tracking down a linked vehicle and recovering a firearm during a search of the home.
Police reports say the suspect, who has not yet been publicly identified, faces felony weapons charges in the targeted shooting.
Despite the scare, Skilla Baby has already returned to the spotlight. The rapper made his first public appearance less than 72 hours after the shooting. Skilla Baby took the stage with rapper 42 Dugg in an all-black outfit and a cast on his arm. The crowd went wild as he spit a few bars and seemingly addressed the incident head-on.
