Watts, California rapper Jay Rock was severely injured in a motorcycle accident February 15th. Jay then underwent successful surgery yesterday, February 16th according to tweets from TDE CEO Top Dawg.
Top Dawg tweeted out, “Pray 4 @jayrock he had a bad accident on his motorcycle.. He’s hurt pretty bad… #TDE” at 7:30pm Pacific. Approximately 2 hours before label-mate Kendrick Lamar‘s breathtaking performance at the Grammys, Jay Rock was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Due to rumors circulating that Rock was on his death bed, Top Dawg quickly dispelled the hearsay and tweeted Jay Rock was not in a coma or near death, but did acknowledge he had a lot of broken bones.
Jay Rock’s album 90059, released last September was received fairly well by critics and had TDE fans rejoicing. As the original member of the LA based power-label, many were ecstatic he was finally receiving his well-deserved shine and praise. But now those same supporters share concern for Top Dawg Entertainment’s favorite underdog and his well-being.
