It’s been almost four months now, since Los Angeles rapper Drakeo The Ruler, was stabbed to death, in his hometown of Los Angeles. This went down backstage, during a brawl, at the Once Upon A Time In LA Festival. At the time of Drakeo’s death, he had a huge breakout 2021, as he released four mixtapes, including his breakout hit single, “Talk To Me.” That record included a huge feature from Drake, as well.

Drakeo’s brother, Ralfy the Plug has since filed a lawsuit against many organizers of The Once Upon A Time In LA Festival. Now, he is bashing the 2022 Grammys for failing to include Drakeo in their in memorial segment last weekend, which honored those in the music industry who recently passed away.

“On behalf of Drakeo The Ruler, Ketchy The Great and The Stinc Team, it comes off as a spit in the face disregarding the facts that we’ve created an entire movement that generated the momentum for underground emerging L.A. artists to have a platform,” said Ralfy to TMZ. 

“Let alone the reality that we lost my Brother, Drakeo The Ruler, the poster child for systematic prejudices against rappers by law enforcement using lyrics against our culture and violating what they call our constitutional rights of freedom of speech- The First Amendment. Leaving Drakeo out of their tribute and by not giving him any acknowledgment of his existence sums up exactly what we feel the industry has been trying to do. Erase us.”
