Tim Westwood Details Getting Shot, Never Thinking of Snitching to Police

In the above clip from Tim Westwood's interview with VladTV, the legendary UK DJ recalls getting shot 10 years ago while driving his car. "Some bike pulled up," he says, "One [bullet] came in, came out the other side." Tim goes on to explain, "I didn't snitch then, I'm not gonna snitch now. I'm a DJ, not a gangster." Westwood then confides that the shooting didn't make him more cautious, if anything, it made him act "crazier."
Watch above.

Why Tim Westwood more hood than Soulja boy

[@estlaz4813]

Tim Westwood is more hood and more real than at least 50% of all rappers.

[@rivertrash9862]

because soulja boi is from the suburbs

[@FuckdasketsHOPassass]

Because he is and has actually done shit for the culture, and the guy came from a rich ass background

[@rivertrash9862]

Telling Vlad a story equates to snitching to the police ...

[@BrookelleBlasphemy]

John Hill I've told my story a million times An never gave away who it was An ppl still don't know bout my situation, or who killed my dad an I know on both sides. So that's BS..

[@alijahimovich]

Sensation Al in that paragraph I've learned a ton about your life, so you might want to worry about what you say out loud my friend.

[@Clide0_0]

John Hill yes because the police can find this video, use it as proof, and arrest you because you essentially snitched on yourself. Fucking dumbass lol. Thats how they got bobby shmurda and his crew cuz they were saying it in their raps and stuntin on instagram with guns so when shit popped off they got caged.

[@Clide0_0]

Oooh shit i think i read your comment wrong my bad

[@Clide0_0]

Quinton Green both if you give a detailed description of how you got shot and you say the name of the shooter, the police can use that as evidence if they find it. Since its 10 years old it probably doesn't matter anymore but if it were a recent event that would be crucial evidence for the police and you dry snitching on yourself.
