Former Bad Boy spitter Chopper City was all over the news after getting shot on Friday, but the rapper is out of the hospital and healing fine. While on his way to a show in Chicago, Chopper was shot in what he believes was a robbery attempt.
The New Orleans emcee was driving through Michigan when he got lost after his phone died and his GPS app failed. Chopper then noticed that a car was following him, so he pulled his Lambo into a gas station to try to lose the tail.
"He acted like he was walkin' past me ... and I seen him reach for a strap," Chopper told MTV News from his hotel room in Chicago. "He started shootin' at me, and he shot inside my Lamborghini, and he hit me on my side.
"He looked at my jewelry, but I gave him that look like, 'You gonna have to kill me if you want this,' " the rapper continued.
The shooter let fly as many as four shots, according to Chopper; he was hit once in his left leg. The gunman took off empty-handed, and the rapper was taken to the hospital, where he was able to charge his phone and call his entourage.
"You shot me for nothing; I didn't do nothing to you, dog," he said. "I'm just a young dude trying to do my thing. I just felt like that was an unnecessary crime."
The crime inspired Chopper's next mixtape. He plans on dropping Hard to Kill on his 26th birthday, January 22.
"I came up with it while I was in the hospital," Chopper said of Hard to Kill. "They tried to kill, you ain't just gonna kill me like that. I ain't goin' out like that."
