Rapper Uploads Video To Facebook Minutes After Getting Shot In The Head

I have no idea who Compton-based rapper Teriq Royal is. He has a relatively small Facebook presence and only a couple hundred followers on SoundCloud.

Teriq Royal is not going viral for his music, however. A few days ago he posted a disturbing, bloody video after getting shot in the head. Here’s how he described it on his Facebook page:

God let me walk away from an AK47 dumpin rounds at me and my bros I just want yall to know
GOD IS REAL AND GOD LOVES YOU ! ✊✨we living in some dark days , we wasn’t even his targets , he was just trigger happy.

(I was in shock when I filmed this , 3 bullet fragments on my skull could have pierced my brain… I’m just blessed to see another day and RAP ABOUT IT ) #BushGang #GoneDieSomeKings

Apparently he posted this video to Facebook right after the incident, which is pretty disturbing. Umm… Someone get him to a hospital or call 911?!?!?!?

I get the feeling we don’t know the entire story here. Definitely a sketchy situation. But, regardless — That’s a shitty thing to live with for the rest of your life.

3 bullet fragments resting on my 3rd eye for the rest of my life
