Rapper gets 'shot in the head', immediately posts video on Facebook

You might have thought you’ve seen everything on Facebook but this video is a reminder that almost everything in life can be documented – even being shot in the head.

Compton rapper Teriq Royal alleges that he was struck by stray bullet fragments shot from an AK-47.

He posted a video on Facebook showing the immediate aftermath of being shot in the head along with this comment: “God let me walk away from an AK47 dumpin rounds at me and my bros… I'm just blessed to see another day and RAP ABOUT IT”.

The video shows a disorientated Royal stumbling around a petrol station saying “I just got shot”.

“I guess I’m really a rap n***a now I just got shot… Me and my soldier are all here, n***a”.

The rapper also posted an X-ray online showing how lucky he was to avoid a worse injury.

Teriq Royal’s video has gone viral with over 250,000 views in five days.
