Is SCY Jimm dead? US rapper was shot at in Daytona Beach

American rapper SCY Jimm was shot at in Daytona Beach in Florida, USA, on June 7, 2023. After the shooting, some media outlets and fans assumed that the rapper was dead. However, upon a fact check, it has been revealed that SCY Jimm is alive.

Here’s what happened

SCY Jimm is yet another rapper who has become the victim of a death hoax. However, it came right after he was shot at and hence the rumour became more believable.



Raphoustv first reported the incident, when they posted a picture of the rapper along with a video of the possible crime scene. The content was shared on the Raphoustv Twitter handle.

The clip showed police officers sealing the crime scene, even as someone – possibly the rapper – was being carried on a stretcher.

The tweet flared and people started posting condolences messages in the name of the singer, wondering why so many rappers die young.

Raphousetv corrected their mistake and shared the news that SCY Jimm was indeed alive. The media outlet informed that the rapper suffered from injuries as a result of the shooting.

Raphousetv described what happened. It revealed that SCY Jimm was reverse parking in Daytona Beach when he was shot at.

The Twitter post also adds that Jimm's manager Blue Chezz had been arrested a day before on charges of second-degree murder, but that his arrest had nothing to do with his client being shot at.
