From MTV:
The former Death Row Records artist said he was trying to do what he normally does — grant the request of a fan — when he almost lost his life.
“Say you’re walking down the street. Some dude comes up to you with a camera phone and he’s like, ‘Can you give a shout-out?’ ” Crooked explained. “You’re like, ‘OK,’ and you’re shouting the dude out. Three seconds later, somebody is shooting at you. Was dude [with the camera phone] trying to get me to stand still? Was he in on it? Was it a coincidence? I don’t know. Mentally I had to fall back for a couple of days.” – MTV News, Sway
This explains why Crooked I sounded shaky over the phone with DJ Vlad

It all makes sense now. I hope there’s some justice for real.

You could still see he’s shaken up…

Damn, that’s a lot to process. Knowing someone was out to get you and not knowing who’s on your side takes a toll on you.

He’s a cool dude. Can’t imagine anyone having problems with him to that extent.
