Drakeo The Ruler was killed when someone stabbed him in the neck backstage at the Once Upon A Time in L.A. festival on December 18. Law enforcement is working hard on the case to bring Drakeo’s killers to justice; however, they’re hitting a hell of a roadblock.
According to a report by TMZ, detectives working on the Drakeo murder case are having a hard time with witnesses because no one wants to talk. That makes things complicated, as investigators have been using surveillance cameras and social media footage to figure out who was behind the fatal stabbing.

Since people aren’t talking, detectives are looking at the murder of Slim 400, an associate of YG whose name was brought up after Drakeo’s murder, to see if there’s any relation to the cases. There’s no official connection between the two murders, but police aren’t ignoring the possibility of retaliation.
Drakeo’s mother, Darrylene Corniel, is calling for someone to take accountability for her son’s murder. Rolling Stone reported Corniel plans on suing festival organizers for her son’s death, blaming security for not handling the situation.
“He was hit in his neck,” Corniel explained. “I saw him when I went to the hospital. They said it’s a homicide, so I wasn’t able to hug him or kiss him or anything like that. I had to look at him through a window. I need this to be out there. I need people to know. And I do want justice for my son. And I do believe that justice will be served. I will not rest until justice is served.”
Corniel managed to get some words from witnesses at the scene. She believes YG, who had an ongoing feud with Drakeo and his entourage, was behind the brawl that caused the stabbing.

Drakeo and his brother Ralfy the Plug were said to be with a small group of people at the festival when about 40 to 60 people arrived at the same time as YG and swarmed them. Corniel said Ralphy tried to assist his brother but saw he had already been stabbed.
Drakeo The Ruler was just getting back into the spotlight when he was killed on December 18. From his debut mixtape I Am Mr. Mosely, in 2015 to So Cold I Do Em 2 in 2021, Drakeo had been positioning himself as one of the leaders of the new generation of Los Angeles rappers. He was only 28 years old.
Guess when you make a career out of trash talking your ops, you can’t exactly expect for people to be running to snitch on who killed you. He did that a whole lot. Not saying he deserved what happened to him but it’s probably why nobody has come forth yet due to the street code being in full effect. Otherwise the if someone did snitch, they’d probably likely become a target themselves and the cycle keeps going and the circle of victims gets bigger which would just complicate things.
just senseless violence.
Da cops gotta start off wit chargin da security n da festival organizers. Drakeo momma ryt! In da end, sumbody in charge of backstage accreditation n crowd control. Dat ain’t happen! It don’t matter wat beef duke got, wat set he role wit or wat he done did! Festivals r 4 da kulture n 4 da muzik not 4 street politiks or death trappin da fans! Eva wonder why dis only happen in hip-hop? SMH
Who kill XXXTentacion
Who kill Jimmy Wopo
Who kill Pop Smoke
Y’all tweakin
The cops gotta start by charging those in charge of security and the festival organisers. Accreditation and crowd control is their responsibility. Drakeo’s moms is right. It don’t matter what duke done did, who he rep or what he said, the fact is festivals are for the music and for the culture not street politics. SMH
Why did you write basically the same comment twice but in a different way? Weirdo lol
