Drakeo The Ruler's Mother Says Fight Started When YG Walked In

"One of the primary voices of Los Angeles' rap scene, Drakeo The Ruler was fatally stabbed backstage at Once Upon A Time in LA music festival this weekend. The rapper was set to perform at the festival when he was reportedly involved in a physical altercation backstage, getting fatally stabbed in the neck.

As the rap community continues to mourn the loss of the West Coast rapper, Drakeo's family wants answers. In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone's Nancy Dillon, Drakeo's mother, Darrylene Corniel, revealed that she plans to sue over the death of her son. She also suggested that the fight started after forty to sixty people rushed Drakeo when YG appeared backstage.

"He was hit in his neck. I saw him when I went to the hospital. They said it’s a homicide, so I wasn’t able to hug him or kiss him or anything like that. I had to look at him through a window," said Corniel. "I need this to be out there. I need people to know. And I do want justice for my son. And I do believe that justice will be served. I will not rest until justice is served."

The late 28-year-old Drakeo The Ruler, real name Darrell Caldwell, was with a small group backstage at the time of the fight, including his younger brother, rapper Ralfy The Plug. According to witnesses she spoke with, Drakeo's mom says people "swamped" her son at the same time YG walked into the same area.

"They said there were, like, 40 to 60 people," said Corniel. "Everything just happened so quickly. They started trying to jump them. [Drakeo's brother] was trying to fight, but when he turned around, he could see his brother with blood gushing out of him. He was like, ‘Did they stab you?’ It was like, there were so many of them."

She believes that pride played a role in her son's murder, and she signaled that she believes venue security failed their job that night.

"We plan to sue," she said. "This happened backstage at an event. Someone has to be held accountable. [...] It is such a shame how much jealousy and envy can make people stoop to such low tactics to try to destroy another individual because of fame and progress. When you start getting up there, people start getting intimidated. So, I believe, once his platform started going higher, people started getting upset. [...] They let all these people in, and you’re not supposed to have all these people backstage. And your security is supposed to be in place. The whole program should have been orchestrated a lot better than what it was. And there should have been more protection. Even if you have metal detectors, even if you pat them down, you let those people come in there. You had more people come in than you were supposed to. And you allowed them to jump my son. You didn’t protect my son."

We will keep you updated as Drakeo's mother plans to file a lawsuit. Long Live The Ruler."

+46   

What the fu#k? I was outta town for a few days. Kinda detached myself from the world. Had no idea Drakeo died. I fu#ked with some of his sh1t. Unique flow. Damn, R.I.P.

+41   

Rip Drakeo I fu#ked with this music heavy but boy was playing in them streets and ain’t no rules in the Jungle. n1ggas be talking about “ Fair ones” etc that’s how I know they’ve never been in the streets. Fair ones are for the homies/ n1ggas from the hood. Anybody else it is what it is.

+111   

Damn this internet/social media sh1t too wild

YG flaw

But gotdamn they outed this n1gga so quick…

+22   

....Somebody On YG Team Going To Have To Eat That Charge To Clear His Name. Otherwise This Going Be fu#king with His Money....

+68   

this not looking good for YG. I never understood these so call gangster tactics....you got beef and live in the same city but wait until a concert to fight

+30   

You know damn well these two n1ggas probably aren’t in their hood like that

Stop being a ass

Sometimes a event is the only time you can catch a mutha fu#ka

+47   

They rap about still being in the hood gtfoh

-19   

n1ggas rap about billion dollars that don’t mean they got it

Shut your a$s up

We taking n1ggas serious on records now

+47   

Even then, that's only damage control and mitigation at this point.
The least somebody can do is take that charge.

If (insert name)400 take the charge, that's still YG crew and his money still getting affected behind it.

Same thing a lot of these NY drill rappers learning right now: they can't get booked at major places because they beefing with everybody and you not getting booked unless you're top dog.

After that Travis Scott incident and this one, I know insurance gonna be crazy if they try to book any of these type of artists in the future.

+24   

yeah its dead for YG rn idk how he gon move he gon have mfs on his head for a min

+13   

n1gga go back to the suburbs lmao both drakeo and yg still be in the hood n1gga...go back to listening to pop clown

-3   

You right I’ll go back to listening to my pop sh1t

And drakeo ain’t in the hood no more he on a white T

Maybe he and YG should leave the hood more


The dumbest sh1t a n1gga could ever do is be proud to be and want to still be in a place like the hood

And this coming from a n1gga from some of the poorest
Depleted neighborhoods in New Orleans

I wish half you n1ggas would go to the East talking that dumb sh1t

I’m glad my artist I listen to don’t gang bang (active) and don’t be in hoods

I honestly didn’t give a fu#k dude got killed never heard of him tbh

+22

Dudes momma spoke on it lol. YG got his issue…. And nip cant fix it.

Crazy it was all good n cats was getting $$ last year

+25   

They needed 40-50 people to take him out fool squared up like a gangster RIP.

That being said there’s no tellin when that energy you put out circles back.

No matter how maney no matter the clout there’s always someone ready to pull your card.

I’m glad I made it out of my 20’s the way I used to act plenty of times could hav gone all bad.

Honestly though

All that gun talk and I don’t fight talk and the dissin and the funk and they go to the show - which any fool who been about or is still about sh1t KNEW was trouble - with nothing to defend themselves.

Stincs were trippin

+21   

bi#ch u gave birth to two people that were terrorizing the streets dont nobody give a fu#k about your pain or that u wanna get paid off this sh1t. It's just payback for all the sh1t your sons done.it's a wash.

+7   

Bro u sound like 2000s baby right now. I know the n1ggas that raised u graduated from 88-90 and they ain't raise u like that. Do better Lil homie I fu#k with u. The hood needs us the kids need to see another example of success besides the drug dealer and the rapper. If u made it out the hood u need to show these Lil n1ggas what's possible not avoid that sh1t like white folks macaroni. That ain't wavy that ain't official. Grown Man talk fix that. If u ain't in a position to help your hood financially your message your vision is worth more than your absence.
