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."

Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
