NYC rapper Buckshot attacked by trio of thugs in Brooklyn

A group of attackers assaulted iconic Brooklyn rapper Buckshot, pistol-whipping him in an attempt to emulate an attack on Tupac Shakur, the musician revealed.

The rapper sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized after the beatdown on October 28, where a gang of assailants attacked him near a building he owns in East Flatbush.

Member of the rap supergroup Boot Camp Clik, Buckshot, 49, was assaulted on East 51st Street shortly before 5 p.m. The NYPD is currently investigating the gang assault.

The violent incident left him with a concussion, a broken nose, and bruises on his forehead, Buckshot exclusively disclosed to The Post.

“There were at least three guys. They hit me with a gun twice. I still got a lump on the back of my head,” said the rapper, who had been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating.

Disturbing footage of the aftermath of the attack, captured by bystanders and widely shared on social media, showed a bloodied Buckshot on the ground, struggling to stand up.

He can be heard in the video requesting an ambulance as he holds his swollen, welted head.

The “Who Got the Props” rapper, originally from Crown Heights, co-founded the record label Duck Down Music.

Buckshot alleged that the attack was orchestrated by a career criminal known in the neighborhood. The man of Jamaican descent had been using the property for years and stored ghost cars in the driveway, according to the rapper.

“He preys on people and goes around scamming houses from older women,” Buckshot claimed. “He’s a deed thief and a master scam artist. [The previous owner] warned me about him, but I thought I would be able to talk to him. I tried a few times, and he just wasn’t [receptive].

“He wanted to get paid off the streets and maintain the spot.”

When Buckshot started renovating the “dilapidated” home, previously owned by one of the scammer’s elderly victims, the criminal called 911 on him and claimed ownership of the property.

Buckshot purchased the three-family home for $46,000 in August, as per property records.

Soon after, younger men in the neighborhood warned him, “Don’t come on the block no more.”

They also attempted to provoke him; a video filmed by one of his attackers just before the assault surfaced, showing a man filming Buckshot and repeatedly calling him a “snitch.”

“These fake Crips were his enforcers,” Buckshot claimed, stating that his attackers were in their late teens. “They were his cronies.”

Buckshot alleged that the man behind the video “pushed me and so I pushed him back.” The man then called his friends on his phone. “He goes, ‘He finally hit me, bro — come through the block,’ and I’m like, what the hell is going on?”

Shortly after, the assailants attacked him in a group.

“It is what it is,” Buckshot remarked. “Everyone sticks up for him. I broke up an operation, and the team he rolls with, they will do what he says.”

The rapper mentioned that he is still recovering from his injuries and is collaborating with his legal team and the police to ensure proper handling of the matter.

Although the police have initiated an investigation into the assault, no arrests have been made yet, as per the NYPD.

Buckshot expressed that he remains undeterred by the brutal attack and will continue working on the house.

“I don’t accept bullies,” he stated. “It’s unfortunate what happened. But I ain’t running.”
