A newly surfaced video on social media, initially obtained by WSB TV, allegedly depicts Atlanta-based rapper YFN Lucci involved in a deadly shooting incident from 2020. The rapper, whose real name is Rayshawn Lamar Bennett, was arrested in January 2021. He faces a slew of charges, including felony murder, aggravated assault, and participation in criminal street gang activity. The violent altercation resulted in the tragic death of a 28-year-old man.
The footage in question shows multiple vehicles driving through an Atlanta neighborhood, followed by a chaotic scene where several men open fire. Reports claim that among these men is YFN Lucci, further intensifying the allegations against him.
Local media reports and social media buzz reveal that rapper Michael Render, known professionally as Killer Mike, has stepped in to support Bennett’s case. Render has reportedly submitted a letter to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, advocating for Bennett’s early release. This document, circulating on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), highlights Bennett’s dedication to his music career and his potential for positive contributions to society.

“Mr. Bennett is a sought-after recording artist, one who other artists hope to partner with, and will certainly continue to make his mark on the music industry if he dedicates himself to his craft,” Render’s letter states. “Having known him for more than a decade, I have no doubt that Mr. Bennett is dedicated to his craft. In fact, I believe that this experience has been transformative for him; he has narrowed his focus and strengthened his commitment to creating music. If given the opportunity, Mr. Bennett has all the resources and mental fortitude needed to succeed and return to society as a law-abiding, contributive member.”
The surfacing of this video has reignited public interest in the case, drawing a mixture of support and criticism. While some fans and supporters echo Render’s sentiments, others remain skeptical, pointing to the gravity of the charges against Bennett.
As the legal process unfolds, the video serves as a pivotal piece of evidence that could significantly impact the outcome of the case. YFN Lucci’s legal team is likely to scrutinize the footage and challenge its authenticity and context, aiming to cast doubt on its implications.
The case highlights the broader issue of gang-related violence in Atlanta and the challenges faced by the legal system in addressing such complex criminal activities. With high-profile figures like Killer Mike advocating for YFN Lucci, the situation underscores the intersection of celebrity influence and the judicial process.
As the story develops, it remains to be seen how this newly surfaced video will affect YFN Lucci’s fate and what it will mean for his career and life moving forward.
