In a candid conversation about the recent shooting of Detroit rapper Skilla Baby, 42 Dugg opened up about the harsh realities of street life in Detroit. Addressing the incident, Dugg emphasized that “it’s the trenches” and the importance of being self-aware and protecting oneself at all times. Reflecting on the risks many artists face in their hometowns, he acknowledged how quickly situations can escalate, urging caution rather than attributing the violence to hate or rivalry.
Dugg, who remains closely connected to Detroit despite contemplating reducing his exposure, highlighted the love for the city but stressed the need for vigilance amid ongoing struggles. He also spoke on collaborating across different Detroit neighborhoods, viewing it as a positive step forward for unity in the midst of adversity.
The rapper’s message is clear: respect where you come from, but always stay alert—because in the streets, anything can happen.
