The backstory:<\/p>\n
Drakeo the Ruler was stabbed outside a Los Angeles music festival on Dec. 19, 2021. He was rushed to a local hospital, where medical personnel pronounced him dead just days after his 28th birthday.<\/p>\n
Social media video from the scene captured several people arguing and fighting outside the venue moments before the attack.<\/p>\n
Caldwell, a Los Angeles native, had released 10 mixtapes starting in 2015 before dropping his debut studio album, “I Am Mr. Mosely,” earlier that year.<\/p>\n
