Social media users were left shocked and concerned after several reports of popular rapper Jackboy being shot emerged on the internet. Many reports and social media posts stated that the rapper was shot multiple times on December 13, 2023, and due to his critical condition, he was airlifted to the hospital.
As the news spread and went viral, people began sharing their messages for the rapper, wishing that he get well soon. However, Jackboy later hopped on to an Instagram live, where he was seen dancing and grooving to rap songs.
He stated that the news about him being shot multiple times is fake, and it was not him who got shot.
During the live, Jackboy even lifted his shirt to show that he wasn't shot or hurt. On the other hand, several publications like Complex reported that it was Jackboy's brother who was airlifted to the hospital after being shot multiple times. However, the rapper has not confirmed the news.
