 had to bring me to University Medical Center, the main hospital in order to save my life. But they were able to transport me from where I was at in New Orleans East all the way to like around the Superdome to the hospital. It kept me alive. It kept me alive. It saved my life. Come on, man. Let's talk about the surgery. Like when you went in, you only couldn't go by what you heard after that. After that, they put you out. I was out from when I passed out in the car. How long did you pass out in the car? Yeah, I passed out. I didn't make it to the hospital. Okay, let's talk about that. What happened? You crashed. Yeah, I was losing too much blood. I was shot nine times. And he was in there trying to drive to the hospital, but he was back there crying in, you know, mourning his girl. So when y'all crashed, the ambulance came. I don't know. We're happy when I crashed. Did you even hear or you ain't even know? Nobody hasn't told you? How did the ambulance came? That's okay. Yeah. But they didn't tell you, like, how long it took them to come? He was able to get out and flag someone down. But the crazy part is he flagged the people down and they say, my girl. It took for someone to pass and say, hey, got someone behind the wheel, too. Wow. How do you know that? You heard it? No, this is, you know. No, he's already passed out. Somebody told you. Somebody told. Yeah, this was from the, you know, the people. The people that got you. I got to ask. So what street went, okay, because you said this was a stoplight when you stopped on the truck, you know, pulled up. What street did this happen on? Crowder. Crowder. Crowder Boulevard in New Orleans, East. And then when you drove, what street did you have that wreck on? How far did you get? I drove, all right. So, crowded. I turned down Lake Forest and I drove all the way to Lake Forest and Reed, which would be the next, you know, across street. Okay. And that's where you had the wreck. If you was getting off the interstate. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because the hospital is right there to my right. Oh, so you was not far from it? I was almost there, but they said, good thing. I did make it there because I probably would have died. The hospital don't have a trauma unit. That's not the type of hospital. So when they came and picked up, they had to take you somewhere else. They still had to bring me to University Medical Center, the main hospital in order to save my life. But they were able to transport me from where I was at in New Orleans, East all the way to, like, around the Superdome to the hospital. Kept me alive. It kept me alive. It saved my life. Wow. Because when you think about the time for you to get there, you out. No. No, when the ambulance picked you out, how long were you out? How many surgeries did you go through before you woke up? What? A total surgery. I don't really know. You don't even know? No. See, because that shit, I never even, like, once I was alive, man, I just worshipped and prayed. Come on, man. Just thanking God, man. All right. The rest of that don't matter. Don't matter. You know? But it's information for, you know, for the people. So that, yeah, yeah. But I have to ask my mom. She was there. Yeah. She knew the whole everything, everything. She was there. Yeah. Because she prayed. She said she never felt like I was going to die. That's hard, man. That's fake. Because she came to the hospital and she had COVID at the time. Wow. Which of my own COVID. And they let her in there? And they let her in there. Yeah. But we didn't disclose to them that she had COVID. They didn't disclose to them that she had COVID. They knew they were the stopper from. She had to get to her baby. She had to come. But when she got to the hospital, she told everybody, hey, stop all that crying. Y'all ain't about to cry about y'all away. She's strong in faith. That's why I'm strong in faith. That's real. He told me how to pray. So you get up, when you come, when you come to, tell me about that. Yeah. When I come to, I raise my head up and I look around and I'm fucked up. I don't know what happened to me. Who was the first person you saw? Her. Nobody. Nobody was in there when? It was COVID. No visitors. No, none of that. So I woke up. But my mother was there. My mother was there. I looked up. I look around. I see my hand going. Like this, it was healed. Yeah. Already. Already healed. It was healed. When I saw it. But the staples in this, just the cut is still open, but my, this was healed. So you've been in there a while? Yes. Well, I'm telling you, look, I had just got a fresh haircut. Like I was before this happened. And when I woke up at a bushy. Nigga had a whole hair fro. I had a bus. You got a baby Michael Jackson. That's how, that's how long I was out, man. But you came alive. And I thank God for it. And when you, and when you woke up, man, I had to be there. I woke up. I saw my arm was gone. I thought I was tripping. I just laid back again. And I really back up again. And I moved. And when I moved, and it really was gone, I guess the look on my face made my mother be like, wondering what happened to your hand. I'm like, yeah, you know, I can't talk. So I'm just shaking my head. She was like, you don't remember? I'm like, nah. So she said, just why you just cut. So she didn't tell me anything, which kept me up every night. How long did it take? I never went to sleep. She's like, what the hell happened? I never went to sleep. She used to call the hospital three o'clock every morning to check on me. And every morning they tell her, oh, he's sitting up in there. My mind, I couldn't, I couldn't figure out what happened to me. And I'd never been hurt like that before. Yeah. Like I'd never been. So you couldn't remember back till the shooting or none of that? Not at that time. At that time, initially waking up under medication and things like that. I don't know. But how long did it take before somebody actually told you what happened? The police. When did they come in? They wanted to question me. Okay. But they had to wait till I was able to start talking. How long did it take you to regain your voice? I'm not sure. Like to give you an exact time table. I don't really know. I don't know. All of that shit is just like kind of a situation that I just leave where it's at. And your voice went because of where the bullet hit? No. The first one from the surgery. The surgery, man, one of my kidneys, they removed my kidney. Wow. My kidney, my spleen, all right. Like so, you know, it's just a hand, it's just the damage that you can see. But there was a lot more damage done. A lot more damage. So they removed all of that because it was damaged? That was damaged. Because it's shot. I had a colostomy bag. You did. Well, I was able to get it reversed. The doctors couldn't even understand how it was healing up so fast. Why? Because the head trauma surgeon told my son, man, your dad, like a superhero, like Wolverine, because they couldn't, they bringing students into my room, you know, going to my case, they couldn't understand. I'm sitting up, eating my talking to him. And wow, this nigga healing back. Man, that was awesome, man. Come on, man. He awesome, man.
