YBN Almighty Jay’s violent altercation over the weekend was more serious than originally thought. TMZ reports the burgeoning rapper was actually stabbed repeatedly during another assault following the initial scuffle at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.
In the wee hours of Saturday morning (March 9), Almighty Jay was reportedly jumped by several men in the lobby of a Manhattan residential building. After he tried to flee, that’s when things got ugly. Sources say not only was he stomped on and robbed, he suffered head and facial lacerations when someone broke a Hennessy bottle over his head.
As a result, he spent a couple of days in the hospital where his face was essentially sewn back together.
According to a press release, “He received 300 stitches for a face laceration after being repeatedly stabbed, beaten and robbed by an anonymous group of men chasing viral fame.”
Law enforcement sources said police responded to a call about a brawl inside the lobby of the building around 12:30 a.m. local time and found the 19-year-old Houston native bleeding from the face. He was rushed to the hospital and treated for his injuries.
Almighty Jay initially reported the incident to the police but became uncooperative when they asked to interview him. A group of witnesses also refused to give their account to the authorities.
Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince issued a call-to-action to several prominent Bronx-bred industry figures on Instagram, alleging Zae Numbafive and his crew were responsible for the attack on his “son” Almighty Jay. He wanted Cardi B, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Funkmaster Flex, Fat Joe and others to get to the bottom of it.
While the gesture was seemingly well intended, it didn’t go over too well with Mysonne, who scolded Prince for his approach.
Following Prince’s Instagram post, Zae taunted him in a video clip by waving the allegedly stolen Rap-A-Lot chain in front of the camera.
Almighty my ass
Man I don’t like to see this happen to anyone.
I hope the lil homie puts in that work. He better not snitch and rat no one out to Popo’s. Real G’s put in work.
LOL
Black lives matter tho?
And the FBI is officially watching you genius.
FOH Certified Snitch
Is this gonna be one of those no snitching policy again !!!
Good Question. I don’t see non of those old for nothing rappers like snoop or fat joe saying anything. That no snatching policy is so dumb
Robbing someone is one thing. Potentially killing someone just to post a video is not cool, at all. Ever. Someone gets hurt on real shit ok, if this was to go viral then that its just too much dude.
S/O 2 my hometown OG JPrince ,it was a courtesy call put out this time ; the next time we comin 4 ur heads!! Rap A Lot tha Mob pussy boy!! Htyne??
No one cares
about to be some street beef off this. smh
Hopefully he retires after this, another wack rapper bites the dust
I saw the video of the initial scrap. He didn’t look ‘almighty’ then. It isn’t unbelievable that they would have followed him after he ran like that.
Plenty of rappers would have stood and fought at that point.
IDC WHO YOU ARE WITH THAT MANY PEOPLE STOMPING ON YOU, YOU GOING TO DIP THE HELL OUT!!!!!
