 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.


 โ€œToday is a day about love, but in my city (the city of Atlanta) thereโ€™s no love here anymore,โ€ CyHI wrote. โ€œa couple nights ago there was an attempt on my lifeโ€ฆ 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.

โ€œThey 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€

โ€œI was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, and I have tremendous love for my city โ€ฆ but itโ€™s chaotic out here,โ€ he continued. โ€œIโ€™m trying my best to keep a level head, but when you donโ€™t 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 donโ€™t want revenge, I just want understanding and closure.โ€


CyHi isnโ€™t 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 heโ€™s 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. 

 โ€œEveryone thatโ€™s 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. โ€œI understand thereโ€™s a lot of beef going on in my city between different crews, that is fueled by the musicโ€ฆbut it is time that we all have a sit down and have a peace meeting. 

 โ€œThere are too many lives being lost over music. I know Iโ€™m not the king of my city or nothing, but the real leaders (i wonโ€™t 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, 


โ€œItโ€™s time to stop the violence in Atlanta. I donโ€™t have all the answers and I definitely donโ€™t 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 donโ€™t have to kill each other man. SMH thanks again, Atlanta. I wrote this letter to yโ€™all with tears in my eyes.โ€
