Up-and-coming rapper C Glizzy was in a Florida hospital on Monday after being shot in the head.
The 16-year-old, whose real name is Christian Moore, was struck by a bullet while outside a convenience store at around 4:30 pm Saturday in Pompano Beach.
According to a report, Moore’s brother tried rushing him to hospital but crashed his vehicle as they exited the highway. Moore was transported to hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove he bullet.
The teen’s mother told a reporter on Monday that he was expected to survive. Police are investigating the shooting.
Unconfirmed media reports describe Moore as a friend or “close associate” of XXXTentacion, who was shot to death exactly one year ago today, about 15 km north in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
Glizzy’s first Instagram post is a throwback video clip showing XXXTentacion leaning out of an SUV window and rapping part of his track "IGOTPLENTYD**KTOSHARE" with Moore.
In April, he released his debut album Numb The Pain.
