Weiter sagte er, dass er in den drei Monaten nie Probleme in diesem Teil der Bronx gehabt hatte und er auch nicht das Gefühl hatte, dass es den Männern um Wertsachen, sondern vielmehr um das Leben von J.R. Writer ging.
"For what? I still have no idea. They wasn’t trying to rob nuthin‘, they looked more like they was going to kill something," fuhr er fort. "None of us was strapped, we actually thought we was in a low spot in the BX. On top of that we been coming there for the past three months with no problems working on my album and new mixtape. When we saw the look on his face and heard him say ’now what, what now‘ it sounded more like a beef then anything else so we got up out of there.“
Keine Minute später fielen dann auch schon die Schüsse, von denen einer J.R. Writer in der Schulter traf. "That’s when he let off two shots our way, which, one of the shots hit me and I dropped. He then starting shooting at my peoples and running towards them. When I saw that I was gonna play dead but I said ‚Hell no‘ and picked myself up and got across the street where my nigga Plat was running back towards my way.“
Gerettet wurde der Rapper dann letztendlich von den "Pigs“, für deren Existenz er in diesem Augenblick wahrscheinlich mehr als dankbar war. "The shooter looks back and sees me limpin‘ across the street with my nigga Plat and starts runnin‘ towards us like he was going to finish me off till he heard police sirens and ran off. I am doing OK now, just trying to recover. The doctor says I was lucky the shot didn’t hit any major artery or bones it went through the back of my thigh and exited through the front. It was a .45 so that would of really fucked me up."
Zu den Hintergründen gibt es noch keine Informationen. Ob J.R. Writer nun eher zufällig Opfer der Schüsse wurde, oder ob es sich um einen gezielten Mordanschlag handelt, steht nicht fest.
