In a shocking turn of events, rapper Draco the Ruler, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Daryl Caldwell, has been fatally stabbed backstage during a music festival in Los Angeles, following a series of escalating beefs that culminated in a ruthless diss track aimed at an entire city. The violence erupted on December 18, 2021, during the highly anticipated “Once Upon a Time in LA” concert, where the atmosphere shifted from celebration to chaos in mere moments.

Witnesses report that at approximately 8:40 p.m., a brawl broke out, leading to Caldwell being attacked and suffering a critical neck wound. Despite immediate medical intervention, he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital, leaving fans and the hip-hop community in disbelief. Just days ahead of this tragedy, the streets were already buzzing with tension following the death of fellow rapper Slim 400, intensifying concerns over the safety of artists in Los Angeles.

Draco’s recent actions had stirred the pot significantly. His bold diss track, “Engle Weird,” not only targeted rival gang members from the Englewood Family Gangster Bloods but also insulted the entire city of Englewood, provoking an aggressive response from the local gang community. Insiders warned that he had drastically underestimated the consequences of his words.

With tensions mounting and a reputation for bravado, Draco seemingly ignored the warnings, leading to a fatal confrontation that has left the rap scene reeling. As tributes pour in from shocked fans and fellow artists, questions loom over the safety of hip-hop artists embroiled in gang politics and the dangerous consequences of lyrical warfare. The night that was meant to celebrate the culture has instead turned into a harrowing reminder of its darker realities, marking yet another tragic chapter in the world of hip-hop.
