Troy Ave Shares Graphic Details About Horrific 2016 Fatal Incident (Part 1) - The Daily Cannon

Exclusively speaking with Nick Cannon on the new AMP show “The Daily Cannon,” Brooklyn native Troy Ave shared his side of the story surrounding the fatal shooting incident that went down back in 2016. While the rapper has remained relatively quiet over the years, for legal reasons concerning his trial where he was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Ave candidly expresses his disappointment with the hip-hop community as he feels no one took his situation seriously as he describes the years-long experience of being stalked on social media, which ultimately led up to the fatal night at Irving Plaza. The ‘Dear Hater I Won’ vividly takes Nick back to the night of the event where his friend and bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was murdered. Troy describes the moment he explains as self defense, “Now we fighting for the gun and s**t, he start squeezing those shots. I’m biting the n***a on his neck, he’s biting my forearm. I managed to get more control of the gun than him, I just start pistol-whipping him.”
Troy goes on to speak on his new album, the narratives that have been created about him, his struggles after being released from jail, and much more.

He says he’s lived the street life he says he’s a straight dude but then when the streets coming by to him, he became an informant. The hip-hop industry has become WW.

Bro lol that's not what happened..... I agree tax was picking with him (Online). That night I was there in that very same cramped ass green room and Troy is the one who approached Tax. I literally watched this dude tell an entire lie 2 the public. Mind u, I'm a fan of his music and his hustle, and his ability 2 stay alive and keep thriving. However, that's a lie, they approached Tax that night and Tax backed out and started firing. Everyone who was there is mad at Troy bcuz although Tax had the hammer in the club, Troy and his man approached him and that's a complete fact! I have no feelings for either of them but to watch him make up that story is weird

People trying to say Troy lost because his friend died and tax killed him etc etc, but they forget that the loss is by Tax because his objective didn’t get achieved, which was for TROY to not succeed. This is what all of the hate was for in the first place and Tax has certainly LOST. He would of preferred for Troy to die but now he will miss a valuable decade or more of life that he can’t get back and will have to adapt to life and find a lane in an ever changing society when he comes back. Troy has family, freedom, business and money all in his hands. A lesson to the youth and everyone, spread love and have tunnel vision on your goals and your family! If you really can’t help but have an issue with others, then avoid their circles and answer them with your success not your hate.
