Yungeen Ace has got some new ink honoring his late friend and collaborator JayDaYoungan, who was shot and killed last week in Louisiana.

That’s when Scott said two more people emerged from the side of the house and started shooting. Scott fired back in an effort to defend himself and JayDaYoungan, but it was too late. Scott was struck twice in the arm, while the 24-year-old rapper was hit at least eight times.
JayDaYoungan was rushed to Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in critical condition where he ultimately died as a result of his injuries. No arrests have yet been made.
