The rumor mill has been buzzing yesterday with news of rapper Crooked I getting shot somewhere in Los Angeles.
While details are sketchy, we've confirmed with sources close to the rapper that he was apparently "hurt badly," but he is alive, at home, and in stable condition.
The word is he was shot, but we've yet to confirm this.
"Crooked I is hurt badly, but he's alive," the source said.
Watts rapper G. Malone also confirmed Crooked's injuries, but didn’t elaborate on the cause. "Something happened ... which they ain't explaining, but Crooked is ok. He is at his home in fine condition," the rapper wrote in a text, via his official Twitter page.
The incident happened as early as Friday night (February 27).
Since the incident, fans have expressed their concerns all over Twitter and his official MySpace page.
"Something's goin on, miss you friend, praying it's just rumors and not true ... get back to me," a fan named The Infamous So*Cal Vixen replied.
"Rumors floatin' you got shot homie. I wanted to make sure you was aight man and make sure it ain't true," DJ Age added on Crooked's MySpace page.
Crooked I finally broke his silence Sunday (March 1) with a call in to DJ Vlad (VladTV.com), giving everybody an update on his condition, while explaining the situation a little bit. While he didn't reveal any details into the alleged incident -- rumored to be a shooting -- he emphacized that he's in good health.
"I'm good. Physically, I'm good. I'm kinda in a f***ed place right now. But physically, I'm good," the rapper told VladTV.com.
When asked to ellaborate, Crooked side-stepped, explaining that he just showed up at the wrong place, at the wrong time. "Some crazy sh** just went on. I was just at the wrong place, wrong time type of sh**," Crooked explained. "Right now, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it because when sh** like that pops off, it's kinda better to just leave it where it happens, you know?
"I'm good. I'm straight. I don't want nobody getting no fame off of nothing, bringing negativity towards me. I'm good," he continued.
