Yung Baby Details the Night He Got Shot 35 Times and Survived

trying to like get all that like um. I mean, there must be a level of anger and rage, yeah, that's why I don't even want to know about them. I mean what they are going through. Okay, if you found out they got the death penalty, would that do it? Do you feel better or not really no no it's okay and you were only 17 at the time yes. I was

shot

35

times

yes can you decompose the body parts that were hit? They

shot

me twice in the face. They shot me twice in the face. Five in the chest.

About four or five on the arm. And on the back. They shot me. like seven

times

, my butt talks like five sixes and then my legs like 16. About that I mean, I know people who got shot once and sometimes they didn't make it, not even in a vital organ, sometimes like a leg in the one where you hit an artery and then they bleed out, you were shot 35 times and you

survived

. I've never heard of this, you know, 50 became famous for getting shot nine times, you're like four times that, uh, I mean, do you ever sit down and think like 35 times and I walk around talking about the devil, yeah, my life?

I think like that all the time. I'm a testimony like I'm just thinking like I can't be like I can't. Being moved like I was by all of that, so it's like, yeah, okay, so a couple of weeks later you're back home and then you release the song Back Then, which you released in April, which was what maybe about four or five months later, yes. yeah, four months later, okay, and that song kind of talks about the situation, yeah, great song, by the way, let me put it like this, you know, when I heard about you and I started going through the catalog and I started.

Going through the music and when I heard this song I thought, this is a really cool song, but the fact that it relates to your story makes it even more amazing, hey, you know anyone watching this, just look up at that moment. for a

baby

a great great song great B great chorus great lyrics uh and you really put your heart into that song um you know you said I'm on the streets I lost my friends they got me how to crawl on me um you know You practically start the song with what What happened, you know what you said, but I'll give you props. 50 takes, that's a movie, yeah, because since it was 50 takes that

night

, it was definitely weird when you played that song.

Find out what the reaction was on my part or the people around me, the people around you, everyone like, damn, like it's fire, like Drop It, like it's like you think, so you think , somehow I have to get a video. I actually took out my cables in January. I made that song. I made that song probably in March, no, no, February, but it took me like a month to release it because now I need a videographer. I need a place to film. I need Sims, I need to think about it, so I called, I called my people, J Stacks, he became my manager.

I direct my dad for me and we just hang out like we just filmed the video. Do you still live in the same city? uh no, I live like 10 like it's not intran, it's not, but close, yeah, having been through that, did you ever think about moving, somewhere completely different, Florida, Atlanta, you just know, because along with this with this shooting that you are incredibly lucky to be alive, you are talking about all the gun cases, you are talking about all your friends that are being murdered, clearly this is an area that is very dangerous for your life, okay, how are you?

What are you now, 18, yeah? I'm 18 right now, I understand that as an 18 year old, you don't have a ton of money saved and everything like that, like you're 40 or 50, but you still just have a life where you know everything. the money. the world you can't take with you and sometimes it's worth starting over and leaving without it just for your own safety eh, I've interviewed a lot of people recently like FBG Duck didn't want to move out of his In our own city we talked about it in our interview. They killed him in Chicago. um mo3 talked about how you know there's money hanging over his head in Dallas, but he wasn't going to move anyway.

He doesn't feel like anyone is coming after him. and that's exactly what happened someone chased him down and killed him in broad daylight. uh, you know, we lost a lot of people this way, uh, you know, Boosie said he was hypnotized with hate in your own city and you're incredibly lucky to be alive right now. So are you considering going somewhere else entirely? Yeah, yeah, once I'm settled, the music really starts rolling for me, whether I say stop signing or finally get a deal, as long as I start making money from my music, then yeah, I go. from here like it's not here for me and Trends I have nothing left like yeah, yeah, well I mean the song Back Then has over a million views, it's almost 1.5 million right now, so I'm sure there's been some interest from the label, uh, you.

I know, hopefully, you know, with a Vlad TV interview, you know, a lot of people's ears are going to perk up, uh, and hopefully you'll get a big offer, you know, a bigger offer if you've already been getting offers, uh, but my suggestion is that when that happens, just get out of there, yeah, sure, yeah, uh, you know, and like I said, it's not just a story that he actually let you know, he contacted us with you and had you come because because The music is great man, I think you're one of those artists that I think a lot of people haven't caught up with yet because I feel like you're better than a lot of guys that are coming out right now, you know. and I'm just being honest, you know no, we don't charge for interviews, you know we choose people, people earn their place in that chair that you're sitting in right now and you're one of those people because like I said, music is cool. , the way you harmonize is great, the way you put words together and the way you choose your rhythms, uh, I think you know artistically it's very, very, very good, so man, I just hope all the best for you. and you know, I just want you to be safe and have the opportunity to work on this music and have the opportunity to, you know, really spread your art and not get caught up because man, I've never heard of this man 35 times.

It's very, very sad and even though you're walking and living your life, you're still going through the pain, the physical and emotional pain of that situation, it sounds like, you know, are you worried every time you leave the house? You know, there's a high level of paranoia all the time? Yeah, yeah, I bet it's probably something that's never going to go away. I mean, have you thought about getting therapy and really trying to resolve these issues? Yeah, yeah, I talked to my mom, my ex-girlfriend about it, but like they were telling me that, but I'm not, like I'm getting mad because I'm like, damn, I need to like it, I want everyone to talk to me, the I love everyone. to be my therapy and they were just trying to get a therapist.

I thought they wouldn't understand, but they kept saying that professionally, maybe don't leave it like that, just leave it like that for me, so I just try. with a lot of that on my own, but like it's not really working, be honest, it's really not working well, listen, young man, I appreciate you coming. You know you have a catalog of drugs. I hope so. After this we're going to see a lot more of you, you know, bigger songs, bigger videos, you know, some features, maybe a deal, anything else, man, until next time, I'm at peace.
