Lucki has broken his silence after suffering a facial injury during a violent confrontation near ComplexCon in Los Angeles.
The Atlanta rapper addressed the incident Monday, October 5, in an Instagram post showing bandages covering part of his face. Rather than offering a detailed account of what happened, Lucki joked about his missing vehicle and said it allegedly contained hundreds of thousands of dollars and his debit cards.
He then appeared to direct a question toward the Los Angeles Police Department.
“LAPD tryna have some fun?” Lucki said.
Lucki also acknowledged that he was still trying to understand everything that happened.
“A lot going on,” he said.
According to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, Lucki was surrounded by fans in a parking lot Saturday when an unidentified person allegedly struck him on the side of his face.
The blow reportedly caused a laceration that required hospital treatment. Several other people were also reportedly injured during the chaotic encounter.
The LAPD is investigating the incident as an attempted murder, according to the supplied report. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect or announced any arrests.
Playboi Carti was reportedly near the scene when the confrontation unfolded, but law enforcement sources said the rapper was not involved in the altercation.
The incident happened as crowds gathered around ComplexCon, the annual culture and entertainment event in Los Angeles that attracts musicians, artists, fans and other figures from across the entertainment industry.
Lucki’s Instagram update marks his first public reaction to the confrontation. His comments about the missing vehicle provided a lighter moment in an otherwise serious situation, while his bandaged face made clear that he was dealing with the aftermath of the encounter.
The rapper has not identified the person who allegedly struck him or explained what sparked the confrontation. He also has not publicly detailed the injuries reportedly suffered by others.
For now, Lucki appears to be recovering as investigators work to determine exactly what happened during the violent encounter.
