Meek Mill’s Dreamchaser affiliate rapper Lil Nizzy was shot and injured in Philadelphia on Monday.
The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Nasir Talington, and his cousin, 16-year-old Hakin Bey, were both shot multiple times. Lil Nizzy was listed in critical condition in a hospital while Bey remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition. According to local ABC 13 news, Nizzy and his cousin were riding bikes in their own neighborhood when they were pounced upon and shot. The killing took place just a few minutes after the rapper left his house.
The rapper’s neighbor describes the scene as bloody with the two men lying motionless in the streets with their bikes nearby. Lil Nizzy is an up-and-coming rapper in the Philly rap scene with affiliation to Meek Mill‘s Dreamchasers crew.
Both men will undergo surgeries this week as they continue to get treatment for their injuries. Nizzy is reportedly temporarily paralyzed.
