Black Moon’s Buckshot speaks out for first time since being viciously beaten in Brooklyn

by

As a long-time fan of Buckshot and Black Moon, I was deeply saddened to hear about the brutal assault he experienced. Having followed his career for over three decades, it’s heartbreaking to see such an icon of hip-hop culture face such violence.

Yesterday, rumors spread suggesting that the rapper Buckshot from Black Moon suffered a violent attack in his birthplace, Brooklyn, and was admitted to a hospital. However, it remains unverified whether this account is true as neither Buckshot nor his fellow Boot Camp Clik members have commented on the matter.

However, a video appeared online, reportedly posted by an individual, depicting Buck looking injured and beaten. This seemed to further fuel speculation among Black Moon supporters. On November 5, Buck made a statement to AllHipHop, confirming that he had indeed been assaulted due to a disagreement over property matters.

In his own words, Buck expressed gratitude to everyone who reached out during a tough period in his life. He was unfortunately a victim of a violent incident involving several people armed with weapons such as handguns. This attack is linked to long-standing disagreements over property ownership where he rightfully holds the title but has faced challenges with uninvited occupants, leading the situation to eventually escalate into violence.

Speaking as someone who’s been an entertainer and part of this community for more than three decades, I find it deeply troubling that such an incident could occur in a city like New York – which I hold dear and consider my home. Incidents of violence like this should never happen here, and I urge everyone to unite to make New York a safer and improved place for all of us.

In many instances within hip-hop society, victims of assault often opt out of involving law enforcement due to the stigma associated with being labeled as an informant or snitch. However, Buck has openly declared his cooperation with the authorities.

He shared that at present, he’s focusing on healing from his wounds and is collaborating closely with his legal advisors and law enforcement officials to deal with this situation appropriately. He emphasized their dedication to achieving justice, and asked for understanding and backing as the legal proceedings continue. Once more, he expressed gratitude for all the well-wishes, and urged everyone to work towards ending violence and building a stronger, safer New York together.
