The mother of Drakeo The Ruler wants someone held accountable for what transpired backstage at the Once Upon A Time In L.A. festival on Saturday night (December 18). Rolling Stone reports Darrylene Corniel plans on suing the festival organizers for her son’s death, blaming security’s ineptitude for the fatal incident.
“He was hit in his neck,” Corniel explains. “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.”
Drakeo The Ruler was one of the scheduled performers that night alongside dozens of others. After he was initially stabbed, the 28-year-old was rushed to the hospital in critical condition as police blocked off the backstage area with yellow crime tape. Rumors started to circulate online placing the blame on either The Game or YG’s crews. But after talking to witnesses at the scene, Corniel suggests she believes fellow performer YG (who had an ongoing feud with Drakeo) and his entourage were behind the melee.
She says Drakeo and his brother Ralfy the Plug were accompanied by a small group of people backstage when “like 40 to 60 people” arrived around the same time as YG and “swamped” her son and his crew.
“Everything just happened so quickly,” she said. “They started trying to jump them.” She says Ralphy tried to help but quickly realized his brother had been stabbed. Corniel is struggling to understand why so many people were allowed in the restricted area.
Rapper Drakeo The Ruler Confirmed Dead At 28 After Being Stabbed At L.A. Festival
“They let all these people in, and you’re not supposed to have all these people backstage,” she said. “And your security is supposed to be in place. The whole program should have been orchestrated a lot better than what it was. And there should have been more protection. Even if you have metal detectors, even if you pat them down, you let those people come in there. You had more people come in than you were supposed to. And you allowed them to jump my son. You didn’t protect my son.”
Corniel is understandably crushed by the tragic turn of events. Her son had only been out of prison for 13 months and was getting back on the right track.
“He took care of those around him because I taught him that, to watch out for everybody,” she says. “People who really know my son knew he was a real individual. He had a genuine heart.”
lets be honest, anybody who likes rap music wanted this guy dead. tired of being held hostage by white people internet algorithims. if we can’t fix it one way then fix it another. Get out of rap if your music sucks forget the metrics and the white critics. Clowns have been warned
I GET YOUR MESSAGE BUT MAN STFU!
Fck you- fcking sellout you don’t gve a fck about the culture any retard can wear gold onstage say whatever as long as the check clears right? he got his the same way he lived why should i give a fck that he’s dead. make a good rap record FIRST
WEIRDO
Sooo u think jus because someone makes bad music they shld die?
Rap fans are complete garbage.
‘make a good album for me and the culture!’
Like you said you didn’t give a fck about him anyway.
The culture is why niccas so fkd in the first place dumbass
he’s dead and I ain’t mad – you die it would be the same. fck ya
nothing would have happened to this guy backstage if he could rap. his very presence was an insult to pretty much everyone there. how many people tried to listen to one of these Drakeo songs the last two days and was like “no fking way” – he got what was coming to him and those who may wish to follow him should take note
Yeah i listened to 2 of his songs and couldn’t believe how many streams they had, rip to the dude but his music was straight trash. Absolutely no talent at all.
This weird SchoolsOut guy trolls a lot on Drakeo, and needs to get a life offline lol. Anyways, Drakeo was an amazing rapper, and the fact that he got attacked backstage is disturbing. One thing to get caught in the street, another to be performing at a festival and be attacked backstage. I’m glad his mom is suing. If you actually pay attention to lyrics, or even love a good beat, you’ll love Drakeo’s music. Dude was one of a kind. Hard to innovate in rap, and he did. RIP.
Fuck off
Lol you need to go outside and get some sunshine kiddo
tell that to your hero at the morgue
He’s not my hero lol just a fan, you’re clearly butthurt about something, like I said, get some fresh air baby. He dropped plenty of music for me to enjoy, dude was prolific.
you’re a retard who likes retard music and that’s your fucking problem. should have booked him for the retard festival and it wouldn’t have been an issue. but ccksuckers thnk they can run our game and tell who we should have onstage. so he wasn’t booked at the retard festival like he should have been. Had he been backstage at the retard show nothing would have happened to him. He was in “the wrong place at the wrong time” as they say
Two questions:
1. What rap do you listen to?
2. What’s it like being an incel?
hey man you’re dude’s dead – he got fucked over because no one liked his music. only cksuckers like you cared that’s all you need to know. No more Drakeo- maybe check the city dump for your new superstar
Lol yeah knew you didn’t have the balls to post who you like in an internet chat forum, would get exposed quick. I got plenty of music to listen to from him and all of the other rappers I follow 🙂
We’re going to teach the fans of retard rappers not to fuck with hip hop. You are gonna get hurt trying to support these no-talent fuckwits. Facts only
Lol I listen to a wide range of hip-hop, and Drakeo is as lyrical/creative as anyone, so again, who you listen to? Show me what “talent” is Mr. Genius
Two questions: what rappers do you listen to, and what’s it like being an incel, I’m curious
he can innovate at his fkng funeral with the rest of the retard crew
Hey kids – you want to be a fucking idiot and die young in disgrace? Follow these retard critics down the toilet see what happens coming up with some bs and thinking you got a cheat code on the world. Internet numbers can say you’re tupac as much as it wants. WE DECIDE WHO PAC IS. YOU THINK YOU CAN OUTRUN THE STREETS PROTECT YA NECK. BITCH ASS CRITICS CANT HELP YOU CANT PROTECT YOU IF YOU ARE RUINING OUR GAME. VALUE YOUR LIFE RESPECT THE CODE BRING SKILLS
But Donna was still the biggest ratchet of all time. Klownye breath still stinks like ray j genitals. Klownye still a goofy now begging for kimmy to come back but she riding Pete Davidson now. That’s what happens when your a gayfish who is arrogant self absorbed narrcistic egomaniac. and why Klownye jaw always look so stupid drooping down. What’s up with the weird and bizzare clothing as well ?
coming to get you
Stfu weirdo. Tell ya mamma to clean her dick off properly before she puts it in ya mouth next time.
Easy solution, stop allowing encourages at concerts. Only licensed security guards. It might also help to check the women better. Everybody is so afraid to get a sexual harassment lawsuit, that they dont check the women thoroughly at concerts they alarm the metal detector. Sure they pull out a wand which will find a gun, but buttons and zippers are an easy way to hide a knife and play it off.

Manifestation is real…we chant about this daily. Evil. When it happens we hold hands. How do we stop a culture from self destruction? Change our chants. God, please have mercy on us big homie.
Justice was served when this trash was taken out hopefuly more to come…you encourage this shit and profit off this type of shit while others are killin eachother you deserve it
STFU – chop yr neck too keep talking sht
when you’re reckless about having people name in your mouth thinking everything a big joke for the internet to decide on and rank – you end up dead. keep people name out your mouth and mind your own business. i would advise that on here as well. don’t follow losers down the toilet. they want to act big and broad and everything’s a joke to them —that’s why their people get shot dead in front of them or they get shanked in a luxury hotel lobby. ONE HAS TO DO WITH THE OTHER. Next time u are trolling typing lolol consider your favorite retard rappers last words
You talking about drakeo or yg ?
