Who is King Yella and what happened to him? Details explored

Chicago rapper King Yella is making headlines for his bizarre interview.

The rapper's latest interview videos are going viral. In it, he can be seen drinking the last of his liquor before passing out midway. The artist was reportedly 2 hours into the interview with Cam Capone, TMZ has reported. They began with a near-full bottle of Crown Royal, but sometime in, there was only a little remaining.

At the time, Capone was showing King Yella a video of Tory Lanez getting stabbed at the hands of Santino Casio, a fellow inmate, which is when he took another sip of the alcohol. However, he suddenly cried out in pain while pounding on his chest, moments before he hurled an expletive and fell backward out of his chair. He seemed to be throwing up on the floor, prompting the crew to rush to him for help.

He later took to his Instagram Stories to slam netizens for accusing him of faking the debacle, as he wrote:

"Y'all think everything a joke I hate the internet. Y'all be si f*cked up on my soul."

A look back at King Yella's shooting incident while filming a video for Black Lives Matter:

Notably, this isn't the first time King Yella has had fans concerned over his health. Back in August 2016, he was filming a new video and track for the Black Lives Matter movement when he got shot in the elbow and the torso. At the time, he was sipping on some Rémy Martin.

"They tried to take me out this s---, God got me, though," he said in the video, per Boombox. "I’m shooting a mu’f-----’ Black Lives Matter video and muthaf---- come and shoot me. It’s cool, you know. I wish you n----- the best of luck you know, whoever you was. But guess what man, the devil be working but he can’t overcome God, you feel me?"

He continued to hurl expletives throughout the video:

"You b*tch a** n----- can’t stop me, you dumb a** n-----. Right out the hospital, this s--- just happened, c’mon man. It’s all good man. I ain’t gonna brag or nothing but y’all n-----…hoes! Y’all had me. You could’ve shot me right in my face, you weak a**-n----. Y’all n----- didn’t even hit my b*tch, y’all h** a**, b*tch a** n----.”
