Drakeo security guard says YG brandished knife during fatal backstage brawl

Alrick Cooper III, a security guard who worked with Drakeo at the Once Upon a Time in L.A. festival, testified that YG was directly involved in the fight on December 18, 2021. Cooper stated he saw YG – whose legal name is Keenon Jackson – and two other men wielding what looked like homemade knives. He identified YG by his hazel eyes despite the rapper wearing a ski mask while attempting to defend Drakeo (Darrell Caldwell Jr.). Representatives for YG have not yet responded to requests for comment.
