According to an Instagram post shared on Sunday (February 14), G.O.O.D. Music artist CyHi was almost another victim of gun violence.
This got well wishes pouring in for him.
The incident happened while he was driving down an Atlanta highway over the weekend.
โToday is a day about love, but in my city (the city of Atlanta) thereโs no love here anymore,โ CyHI wrote. โa couple nights ago there was an attempt on my lifeโฆ somebody tried to gun me down on the highway. I tried everything I could do to lose them, but they were adamant about taking me off this earth.
โThey where shooting at me while I was driving and even after my car flipped, hit a pole and crashed into a tree, they came back and shot the car up some more.โ
โI was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, and I have tremendous love for my city โฆ but itโs chaotic out here,โ he continued. โIโm trying my best to keep a level head, but when you donโt know who is after you its hard to wrap your mind around it and not be paranoid. By the grace of god and my lord and savior jesus christ I am still here. I just want to let the people know who were trying to kill me that i am not a bad person. I donโt want revenge, I just want understanding and closure.โ
CyHi isnโt sure if it was a case of mistaken identity, an attempted robbery or payback for something he
did as a kid. But whatever it is, he says heโs determined to find a way to amend the problem.
The 36-year-old wrapped up his lengthy caption by imploring other Atlanta citizens to move with caution while pleading with his fellow rappers to come together and put an end to the senseless violence.
โEveryone thatโs in Atlanta right now, please protect yourself, stay out the way and be careful, because it could all be over in a split second,โ he added. โI understand thereโs a lot of beef going on in my city between different crews, that is fueled by the musicโฆbut it is time that we all have a sit down and have a peace meeting.
โThere are too many lives being lost over music. I know Iโm not the king of my city or nothing, but the real leaders (i wonโt say no names, but you guys know who you are) you all are extremely blessed to have the the careers that you have and be able to feed your family and loved ones.โ
He concluded,
โItโs time to stop the violence in Atlanta. I donโt have all the answers and I definitely donโt have the power to make it stop, but i do feel like somebody gotta step up and say something. So much love to every artist, label, hustler, and crew in my city pleaseee lets resolve our problems man. We donโt have to kill each other man. SMH thanks again, Atlanta. I wrote this letter to yโall with tears in my eyes.โ
