AceShowbiz - Gillie Da Kid has shared his side of the story after he told people to leave a boxing event on Friday, December 20 for a false shooting report. Over the weekend, the rapper hopped on Instagram Live to address the matter and how the miscommunication took place.
"These motherf**kers came up and said, 'Somebody was shooting at the cops outside and they're shutting it down,' " Gillie said on his Live. Understandingly, the podcast host, who was doing a live streaming, was shocked by the information.
He continued, "I was like, 'What? Somebody was shooting at the cops?' I'm like, 'What the f**k? In one of my vids?' They're like, 'It's over, Gillie. It's over.' " However, his team later came to correct him.
They told him, ''Gil, nobody was shooting at the cops. They said they were shouting at the cops." The Phily rapper added, "I'm like, 'You just made me kick thousands of motherf**kers out the arena because n***as was outside shouting at the police. N***a, I thought you said shooting.' "
A video from Gillie and Wallo 267's KO Party previously circulate online, featuring Gillie telling the audience to "get the f**k out!" The podcast host continued, "Me and Wallo put on for the city and this how you b***hes treat us? Y'all outside, f**kin' ripped the door our, shot at the f**kin' police, and all that dumb a** s**t? Get the f**k out. All of y'all get the f**k out." Amid the chaos, it was said that Wallo got emotional by how the event turned out.
Fans, meanwhile, could understand Gillie's response in the situation. "He lost his son to gun violence so i can understand why he reacted the way he did," a fan wrote in an Instagram comment. "Aww bless him, ptsd from his sons situation," another echoed the sentiment.
"Ain't even mad at bro. PTSD is real, he made a mistake but the reaction is understandable," someone else noted. However, some others questioned why Gillie told people to go outside where the alleged shooting took place.
Gillie's son YNG Cheese, born Devin Spadey, was killed in triple shooting in Philadelphia back in July 2023. A week following his son's death, Gillie shared a heartfelt message which read, "I Miss u like $hit Dev My heart will forever have a Black hole in it but u know ur father gotta be strong to hold the family up," he wrote.
"Thanks 4 all the support from family, friends, and all of my followers y'all really helping me get thru these ruff times Me and my family appreciate and love y'all [blue heart emoji]," he added, before concluding, "Rest Well dev and watch over us u know I got chase [crying emoji] love u Cheese [five crying emojis]."
