As previously reported by The Shade Room, Skilla Baby was shot in his hometown of Detroit last month. He reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and a graze to the head while driving an SUV near Redford Township. According to reports, the shooting went down along 8 Mile on May 22, with multiple shell casings found scattered across the road. Skilla allegedly lost control of the vehicle after shots were fired, crashing into a nearby building. Just weeks later, Detroit police arrested a suspect after tracking down a linked vehicle and recovering a firearm during a home search.
Police reports say that the suspect, who has yet to be publicly identified, faces felony weapons charges for the targeted shooting.
Despite the scare, Skilla Baby has already stepped back into the spotlight. The rapper made his first public appearance less than 72 hours after the shooting. Skilla Baby hit the stage with rapper 42 Dugg in an all-black fit and a cast on his arm. The crowd went wild as he spit a few bars and seemingly addressed the incident head-on.
