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.

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?

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?

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.

Spoiler!

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