The video comes as Fani Willis and Killer Mike have called for his early release.

Security footage from the 2020 shooting involved YFN Lucci has been revealed by WSB-TV. In the clip, a man can be seen getting shot from a moving vehicle before other passengers push him out onto the street. Lucci has been accused of being the driver of the vehicle, but he's not visible in the video. The release comes as he continues to seek early release from prison.

When DJ Akademiks shared the video on social media, fans had mixed responses. "You mean where Lucci spent the block and his homie got killed in the process & they just dumped him out the vehicle? I could never respect that in 1000 years fam," one user wrote. Another remarked: "I have absolutely 0 opps, but if a black suburban slowly pulled up in front of me, I’m running for my life." One more fan wrote: "We worried bout Sonya Massey we don’t give a damn bout this post what’s relevant fr."

Lucci agreed to plea guilty to one count of violating the Street Gang and Terrorism Prevention Act back in January. He was sentenced to 10 years in custody, but District Attorney Fani Willis has since supported his early release. “Pursuant to the parties’ negotiated agreement, the State does not object to Defendant, Rayshawn Bennett being released from Department of Corrections the first time he becomes eligible for parole or after serving one-third of his prison sentence, whichever comes first," she wrote in a statement. "This recommendation by the State is conditioned upon the Defendant’s compliance with the lawful authority of all Department of Corrections personnel and having had no incidents of any kind in any facility in which he has been housed while in the custody of the Department of Corrections."

Not for the first time, Moby is speaking out against Donald Trump’s administration with clear frustration.

“The U.S. is collapsing under a deeply corrupt and shockingly ineffective administration,” the longtime electronic musician shared on social media. “These are unbelievably dark times.”

Moby went deeper into his thoughts through a video message, where he explained that people outside the United States keep asking Americans what is actually happening in the country.

“So many of my friends outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is happening over there?’ And honestly, we don’t even know,” he said. “The country is being controlled by one of the most corrupt, dangerous and incompetent administrations imaginable. Nobody fully understands what’s happening right now. These are very dark times in America.”

Moby joins a growing list of artists publicly criticizing Trump and MAGA politics, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem and Billie Eilish.

Earlier this year, Moby uploaded another statement to social media where he addressed how people should respond following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. “The real question isn’t whether people should feel horrified or outraged by what’s happening in the United States,” Moby explained in the Jan. 26 clip. “The question is what are we actually going to do about it?”

The musician and activist also encouraged people to protest, saying demonstrations are a constitutional right and something he believes Trump’s administration is attempting to weaken.

In the end, he urged people to vote regularly, “not only during the upcoming midterms, even though those matter, but also in every special election throughout the year.” He also encouraged supporters to “stop giving money to the scumbag corporations backing Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”

His newest remarks arrive as the U.S. Justice Department unveils a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down following military action launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February without approval from Congress, leading to rising gas prices across the globe.

Throughout his independent music career, Moby has earned 10 entries on the Billboard 200 along with two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and an enormous catalog of sync placements. Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, he is viewed as one of the defining artists of his era. He scored two No. 1 albums there with Play from 1999 and 18 from 2002, alongside 18 top 40 singles and two nominations for Best International Male at the BRIT Awards.
