Shy Glizzy seemingly became the subject of the death rumor due to a case of mistaken identity. An Instagram account focused on the Washington, D.C. area erroneously identified him as the victim of a shooting.
Earlier this year, the D.C. native was arrested after allegedly getting into an altercation with his ex-girlfriend in Los Angeles. He was charged with making criminal threats.
Authorities claimed the rapper pulled a gun on the woman. He denied threatening her.
Shy Glizzy was released after posting a $50,000 bond. His ex-girlfriend sought a restraining order. She accused him of threatening to kill her after she broke up with him.
A judge granted a temporary restraining order in May. The “White Girl’ creator was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the woman and not contact her.
