Rapper Young Scooter has died aged 39.
The Atlanta-born rapper – born Kenneth Edward Bailey – is widely reported to have sustained a fatal leg injury while attempting to flee from police on his birthday on Friday. (28.03.25)
Atlanta Police said an incident unfolded in the southeast of the city when officers responded to a 911 call reporting “a dispute with shots fired, and a female being dragged back into the residence”.
An account from officers said upon arrival at the scene, a man opened – and then abruptly closed – the door on the cops.
Two men then attempted to escape from the premises.
One of them, identified as Kenneth, sustained a severe leg injury while jumping over fences during the escape.
Officers gave aid, and he was transported to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. ​
Kenneth was born in Walterboro, South Carolina, and relocated to Atlanta at the age of nine.
He began pursuing a music career in 2008 after facing a drug trafficking charge.
The performer gained prominence in the Atlanta rap scene with his 2013 mixtape ‘Street Lottery’, featuring hit single ‘Colombia’.
Throughout his career, he collaborated with notable artists such as Future, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne and Migos. ​
The Atlanta Police Department has confirmed no officers discharged their weapons during the incident leading up to Kenneth’s death, and said his injury was self-inflicted during the escape.
His exact cause of death remains under investigation. ​
Tributes have poured in from the music community in the wake of his passing.
Waka Flocka Flame, who signed Kenneth to his Brick Squad Monopoly label in 2013, expressed his grief on social media, saying: “Street, you had me crying before my show… you the backbone… dama brada.” Playboi Carti also paid homage to Kenneth, with fans saying he leaves behind a huge legacy in the Atlanta rap scene.
Known for his freestyle approach, Kenneth gained a loyal following, with his music often reflecting on themes of hustling and survival.

What can I say that would top the words from Waka Flocka Flame

Being a Rapper can be a very deadly career it seems.

May this guy RIP. Hate to see someone lose their life.

Rap names are just stupid

“Rap legend” lol.

Your rap name would be "pistol starter".

Never heard of him.

Guessing he rode out in front of a car

It fits--unlike Ocho C.


Every one is "young" "lil" "Ice"

not exactly original

Bodycam footage released of the young scooter incident.

Legend.

Dead from a broken leg, must've been a Teddy Bridgewater-type knee injury that severed an artery

This is why I don’t ride scooters.

Or maybe the police ripped it off and beat him with it ala Beowulf.

I don't wish death on any of them, but Rap can die post haste please. Even my favorite Ed Sheeran has been doing some of it sorry to say. He is better than that.

LMAO

There's a Springsteen song from a few years back that diverts off to some person doing rap for a couple of minutes. I love Springsteen's music, but not enough to tolerate two minutes of rap. Whenever that song starts, I forward on to the next one. It's a sad devolution from music to ... whatever rap is.

Why don't we just sticky a rap hate thread?

This is why I never flee from rap concerts.

I'm open to it.

You'll die before rap

Self inflicted injury on his birthday. At least he will be remembered as forever young, vs growing old and having to change his name to Old Moped.

Why would he name himself after your mom

I can relate to that, enjoy Springsteen myself.

I listen to Ed Sheeran a lot on Amazon music while playing poker and the first time that rap started I was wondering wtf is going on?:banghead:

No doubt, I would bet heavy on it. If a lot of people didn't enjoy it, there wouldn't be so much. I don't understand how it can be considered music.

This is why I listen to Motown.

Trump bans rap music

I used to go by the street name "Delicious" ROFL


If you seen me down the street you would yell to get my attention "HEY DELICIOUS" lol (that's from king of comedy)

:clap:

His rap name implies that he's a paedophile. Good riddance.

My condolences to his father, Old Scooter. Burying a child is the worst.

Live by the scooter, die by the scooter. Only the good Scooters die young.

RIP guy I never heard of

The average life expectancy of a rapper is 32.4 years

Who? :shrug:

“He use to live downtown, 129th street…”

I expect better behavior from a trap house rapper.

Boot scootin boogie

This is why I don't ride scooters to rap concerts.

How do you guys find this info if you're not into the genre? If some screamo metal guy took his last hit it doesn't come across my algorithm.

Waiting for Al Sharpton and BLM to let me know if the fence was racist before I pass judgement...

And somewhere in Africa a person was eaten by a lion.

Thank you! I scrolled with disbelief that this had not shown up yet. RIP ChiefsPlanet burst.

Wanna know what they used to call me on the streets?

They called me STREET

He lived a long life for a rapper

Did Scott Pioli find this dead rapper in the stairwell??

Scooter my daisy heads.


Diddly day.

Life just seems long when you have to listen to rap all the time.
