Summary
New testimony from Drakeo the Ruler’s security guard, Alrick Cooper, alleges YG was seen wielding a prison shank backstage at a festival—swinging it amid chaos, identifiable by his eyes and build—even while wearing a ski mask. This sworn account, bolstered by a recent July 2026 SWAT raid on YG’s Burbank property, is intensifying pressure on YG’s long-standing denial. Though no charges have been filed, investigators are now scrutinizing this firsthand, on-the-ground testimony from someone who was literally protecting Drakeo—making this one of the most explosive developments in the case yet.
