We’ve collectively experienced some pretty audacious social media moments as a Hip Hop community this year and it hasn’t gotten any better, in the wake of Chicago rapper King Yella getting caught up in an onslaught of bullets as he shot what he called “a Black Lives Matter” music video.
King Yella, 26, whose real name is Cemone Lewis, was said to be filming on the 6500 block of Chicago’s South Wentworth Avenue when the incident happened. His unfortunate circumstance comes after a bloody weekend in the Windy City where seven people were killed and 47 — including an 8-year-old girl — were treated for gunshot injuries.
“They tried to take me out this shit, God got me, though,” a recovering King Yella told his social media followers in between swigs of Rémy Martin as he brandished his war wounds on his arm and upper torso.
“I’m shooting a mu’fuckin’ Black Lives Matter video and muthafuckas come and shoot me. It’s cool, you know. I wish you niggas the best of luck you know, whoever you was. But guess what man, the devil be working but he can’t overcome God, you feel me? You bitch ass niggas can’t stop me, you dumb ass niggas. Right out the hospital, this shit just happened, c’mon man. It’s all good man. I ain’t gonna brag or nothing but y’all niggas…hoes! Y’all had me. You could’ve shot me right in my face, you weak ass nigga. Y’all niggas didn’t even hit my bitch, y’all hoe ass, bitch ass niggas.”
The unnamed girlfriend of King Yella also posed for the Snapchat press conference, revealing the bruises on her leg caused from being grazed by the bullets.
Chicago police told DNAinfo that shooting occurred at 6:55 p.m. on Tuesday, August 23, and appeared to be gang-related.
On cue, the Black Disciple-affiliate Twitter account Wavy_Crockett79 reposted Yella’s footage of his video being disrupting and seemingly took credit for the shooting or, at the very least, gloated at his misery.
“LMAOOOO! WHAT HAPPENED @kingyella73?! NIGGAZ SHOT UP YA BITCH ASS MUSIC VIDEO? GDK! HOW DAT HOT SHIT FEEL! 4 NEM!!” the handler jeered.
A pair of King Yella’s more recent mixtapes, 2014’s Yella Corleone and 2013’s Yella Corleno, both feature the Chicago rapper brandishing semi-automatic firearms so his initial attempt to turn over a new leaf obviously came with resistance.
The videos of the aftermath timeline of King Yella being shot can be seen below.

Pretty fucked up when the people your trying to stand up for shoot your ass…. martin luther king would be rolling in his grave….
Pretty fucked up when Gangbangers wanna preach about BlackLivesMatter. But amen to the second part.
And what happened to MLK? How is he doing nowadays? How are his mistresses and illegitimate children?
Get a country like switzerland where they have trained militias on every block and everyone owning packing guns and and be TRAINED and see how often these black disciple pieces of shit try popping off in the 1st week every one of there bodies would be in a fucking pile burning in ditches same to the gangster disciples the bloods the crips the latin kings and any piece of shit that thinks a gun or violence is a means of getting what they want the types of funerals and deaths they deserve and leave there bodies there for a couple days for people to piss and spit on there faces just sorry say someone has a gun popping off at you the only and i mean the ONLY way to put an end to it is pop back and make sure they never hold a gun again exactly why i pack everywhere i go and about 70% of my friends pack to all nice and legal so when we do shoot some fucking animal someday defensing ourselfs or someone else we can hold a proud head up knowing we rid the world of a piece of shit and wont serve a day in prison
ummm i’m the last person to debate any type of political issue but is it safe to say elected officials in chicago really don’t give a fuck letting blacks do their own “process of elimination”? For those of you in chicago contributing to the violence do not be surprised if martial law is implemented permanently in your hood. Regardless if this King Yella guy was genuine about BLM or just wanted some attention it still doesn’t justify shooting him for whatever reason. Yall GDK and ViceLords and the rest of y’all out there keep playing around watch yall be the first to be introduced to martial law and if you think police trigger happy wait to some army nutcase soldier in a bullet proof humvee with his m16 comes your way and then what y’all gonna go to war with soldiers? Has it ever occured to anyone that THEY want you to kill each other but i’m probably typing for no reason so I said what I had to say now back to my platinum kush
Politicians have no problems letting blacks eliminate one another it becomes a problem though when police life starts getting lost though… look back to ronald reagan the fucking devil who made cocaine and crack an epidemic for low class neighborhoods which they KNEW were filled with african americans costing MILLIONS of lifes to either literaly be lost or lost to substance abuse all to fund a war in nicaragua for our governments personal best interests so basicaly the point im stating is fuck yeah politicians have no regard for black lives period only time there lives are relevant is when they need that ever so important african american vote to secure there office….
Not trying to get into any type of debate cause this kush kicking in right now but look what u just typed. A SYSTEMATIC PROCESS OF ELIMINATION IMPLEMENTED BY THE GOVERNMENT. All Reagan did was light the match and the black community was the gasoline. My issue is we do have the means to stop certain systems in place that are suppose to block progress in the black community but we are distracted by the all mighty dollar. Drugs in community, cant rely on school system cause its not funded properly so kids don’t get the proper education which leads to not being interested to learn so they drop out. So whats left occupational wise in communities?
Rapper, Ball player , Drug dealer. Here is a thought to slow system down. Finish school and study law, run for vacant city council seat, run for your local state and government. I can go on and on but if we have more of us within these positions instead trying to be a rapper we could fill these seats and slow it down. Just a suggestion
Well said my dude ! Reaganomics was the start of our ending, he made the Devil proud by taking jobs overseas, and then bringing in Crack and guns to the hood. Oh I can’t forget him cutting any and all social programs.
If I could I would shoot every one of you suckas reading this coment
Yea? Bet a bunch of other dumb niggas have the same mentality. i’ll laugh when your ass ends up shot within the next month by someone who thinks the same…haha
Yup u are part of the problem and since ur mentality is what it is let me be the first to wish bad on you for the rest of your miserable life. Your gonna be taking a whole lotta L’s for the rest of your life so HOLD THIS L
Slim Jesus pulled up on him and let the .40 bang
SHot by Black People while making a BLM video. Pro moves.
You can’t get attention til you get shot. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all a pub stunt. Even the gun shots. There’s NO limit to what these guys will do for some glow. Actin like he’s doing some positive movement then says “You ain’t even hit my bitch”. You want em to come back and try again. Fools like this DONT matter.
Not sure if this is more sad or more hysterical…. #HandsUpDontShoot #MicDownDontRap
The truth is, these race baiting morons always talk about black lives matter and are the first to murder other blacks. T.I.’s dumb ass is all about the BLM BS and went to jail for having an arsenal of weapons. LOL. I’m sure those where intended for anyone other than blacks, right? Sarcasm. He needed silencers for ser defense. Like the convicted felon in possession of a firearm that was resisting arrest and shot. His life mattered. Sarcasm again. Grow up black America. Your dumb asses are doing this to yourselves and whining about it…
BLM is totally different and there are a list of things wrong in the Ghetto. Cops have always murdered and killed other blacks for nothing and got away with it because of the judicial system. Also guns, drugs, no jobs and a poor educational system has been put in place. Those are reasons and factors for what is happening. Now on the violence side yes we are killing our own over turf and dope. Very stupid and we need to make it stop, We took the violence and mind control that we learned from our oppressor and are using it on ourselves. We have to get better and fools like this dude are a bigger part of the problem.
I’m sure the shooters were some white people, must have been the klansmen.. oh wait, no i don’t. i’m certain it was young black african-american men.
Barely a graze, could have got cut w a razor blade with that type of wound
Black Fathers Matter.
Beka z głupich czarnuchów.
Get off the board Polack.
In the Hip Hop Community, nobody gives a fuck about these low-lifes or the racist Black lives Matter. Don’t confuse the Hip Hop Community with the Black People Community, not the same. Live and Let Die
hey lets go protest the police….and knee down at the national anthem…because it is WHITE PEOPLE’S FAULT.
