ATLANTA (AP) — A 31-year-old rapper known as Yung Mazi has been shot and killed outside an Atlanta pizza shop, less than eight months after he survived being shot at a Waffle House and then tweeted “God made me bulletproof.”What is Lil Mazi’s real name?
Atlanta rapper Yung Mazi was shot and killed outside an Atlanta pizza shop, the Associated Press has reported. The 31-year-old, born Jabril Abdur-Rahman, was shot outside of the restaurant Urban Pie on Sunday night
Atlanta police say the shooting happened Sunday night when officers at a police precinct across the street heard multiple gunshots outside the restaurant.
Police said a suspect ran from the scene. No arrests have been made.How many times has Yung Mazi been shot?
The rapper, who worked with fellow Atlantans Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, said in a 2016 interview he’d previously been shot about 10 times. That the final bullets found him in Kirkwood troubled residents, who enjoy a mostly peaceful neighborhood.
John Henson, deputy chief investigator of the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office, identified the victim by his legal name, Jabril Abdur-Rahman.
He was a father. Yung Mazi left behind two young daughters, according to his Instagram page.
Yung Mazi’s brother, Luqman Abdur-Rahman, pleaded for privacy in a call to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and said his family is praying for his brother and everyone else involved.
Yung Mazi was the target of multiple shootings, telling an interviewer it might be because he walked around with a lot of jewelry or because some people resented him for his light skin.
In December 2016, he was shot at a Buckhead Waffle House. According to a police report, a man walked into the restaurant and without a word opened fire on the rapper and then left. The rapper told police he’d never seen the assailant before.
After arriving at the hospital that day, the rapper turned to Twitter to boast: “God made me bulletproof.” The tweet has since been deleted.
But friends and admirers of the rapper began posting tributes with the hashtag #RIPYungMazi

And who was the first “Lil” rapper? Unlike what some more recent bearers of the name might suggest, “Lil” has no bearing on talent, or lack thereof. Instead, it’s a common nickname on the streets, which made its way into hip-hop as early as 1988 when Houston rapper Lil’ Troy first rocked the moniker.
