Rising Philly Rapper Ybc Dul, Also Known As ‘Mr. Disrespectful’, Shot & Killed At 25 [CONDOLENCES]
Prayers up for the family of up-and-coming Philadelphia rapper Ybc Dul.
Reports state that the 25-year-old was shot and killed over the weekend, though the nature of his murder is still being investigated.
Ybc Dul, born Abdul Vicks, was reportedly struck multiple times in the chest and hand around 3:30pm this past Friday (August 23rd) while in the city’s Olney section. Police are still trying to identify exactly where the shooting took place and the motive behind the killing. Though it’s unclear if the two are connected at this time, one report notes that police are also investigating another shooting that claimed the life of a man and injured a young child that took place a few hours later.
In case you’re unfamiliar, Ybc Dul – who also goes by the monicker ‘Mr. Disrespectful’ – recently had a video of him allegedly digging up an enemy’s grave went viral online. The musician discussed the matter on a podcast appearance a few months back, showing no remorse for his actions and doubling down on his stance of disrespecting any and everybody.
One report notes that police claim Ybc Dul was the leader of a violent gang called Young Bag Chasers, which has several members behind bars or on trial for murder. Reportedly, a 22-year-old Ybc affiliate – who goes by the stage name ‘Mere Pablo’ – was charged in the shooting death of a 33-year-old victim earlier this month. His arrest reportedly came as he was attending a hearing for another Ybc member, Arshad Curry, who was reportedly sentenced up to 85 years in prison for shooting 5 people, fatally striking 3 teenagers, back in 2021.
Three other Ybc members were also reportedly convicted of killing two teenagers last year. Addressing his sons murder, Ybc Dul’s father took to Facebook to clear up some things he says are untrue about the nature of the rapper’s death. In a message post to Facebook, he wrote:
“Ik my son did not live a life of a saint but I was not born yesterday either my son was targeted …for someone to be able to walk up so close to his car was the first red flag for sure & I promise we not gon stop till ya dudes are exposed,”
Stating that Ybc Dul had expressed concern about his safety shortly before the incident, he continued:
“I spoke to my son the night before this all went down & I just couldn’t understand why this talk outta all days felt different “pops it’s been weird cars passing by me for a week now idk I just feel weird whenever I’m in Philly”
Vowing to find his son’s killers, the grieving father added:
“i swear whatever u was running from son they was watching u closely & imma expose it,”
At the time of this writing, no arrests have been made. We will continue to update as the story develops.
