Rapper DG Yola was shot in the face this weekend during a failed robbery attempt. He was driving in Atlanta and stopped at a red light; an unknown assailant shot him in the face. Apparently the bullet entered one cheek and came out the other.

He was admitted to a local hospital and he is recovering, allegedly already up and about and back to writing. His family has requested privacy and they appreciate the good wishes and kindness of Yola’s fans. His debut album is due out in June.
