Priddy Ugly doesn’t often share much on his private life but on Thursday the ‘Rap Relay'’rapper felt compelled to speak out on the recent stabbing of his cousin.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Priddy said that his cousin was stabbed to death after refusing to give a homeless man a pull of his cigarette.
What’s more, his cousin was on his way to the police station to open a case on a separate incident when he was killed.
“2 weeks ago, my cousin was stabbed to death by some pharas for refusing to skyf them a loose draw while walking to the police station 5mins away from his home to open a case of assault for an incident that had happened earlier that day,” he shared. “South Ah, is a wild place. Be safe.”
