<p>On the heels of an eyebrow-raising interview, BTB Savage—a rising rapper from <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/black-grandmother-assault-houston-grocery-store-by-white-employees-over-found-50-bill-tsr-investigates/?_gl=1*1tjmgup*_up*MQ..*_ga*NzI4NzgzMzU1LjE2ODAyNjk3NDA.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MDI3NjY1Ni4yLjAuMTY4MDI3NjY1Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland</a>, Ohio—is believed to have been killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston on Thursday.</p>
<p>According to<em> <a href="https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/03/31/man-dead-after-drive-by-shooting-in-river-oaks-area-hpd-said/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click 2 Houston</a></em>, a rapper in his early 20&#8217;s was killed Thursday evening in Houston&#8217;s River Oaks neighborhood, although the publication didn&#8217;t release the deceased man&#8217;s identity.</p>

<p>On-scene witnesses note that suspects in a black Subaru fired off a barrage of bullets at the victim, who was driving a white Mercedes. As a result, authorities believe the act &#8220;was a targeted incident.&#8221; While the rapper&#8217;s identity wasn&#8217;t immediately released, witnesses in the area and fans online began to put the pieces together and concluded that BTB Savage was the victim.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Rapper Had Just Opened Up About Killing A Man In Self-Defense</h3>
<p>Part of this speculation came from the fact that he recently spoke on killing a man in self-defense during a sit-down with <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBv64F7Mu_s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vlad TV</a>,</em> which aired earlier this week.</p>
<p>During the interview, BTB Savage detailed how, under the guise of trying to get a feature, two men attempted to rob the rapper after being invited into his house in San Antonio.</p>
<p>After inquiring about his chain before leaving, one of the perps pulled a gun on BTB Savage. After a struggle, the rapper&#8217;s girlfriend managed to fire off a few shots at the man, though BTB also sustained an elbow injury in the process.</p>
<p>While speaking on the ordeal, the rapper declared that the robber&#8217;s accomplices &#8220;left him for dead&#8221; after firing through the door. He also noted that the perp was of a &#8220;softer&#8221; variety and didn&#8217;t manage to hit him once.</p>
<p>Eventually, the alleged robber began to succumb to his injuries and began to plead for the rapper to get him to the hospital, though BTB Savage wasn&#8217;t moved.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Incident Came Hours After BTB Savage Referenced The San Antonio Situation Online</h3>
<p>On top of the Vlad TV interview, BTB Savage took things further with an upload on Thursday afternoon.</p>
<p>Specifically, a pair of photos shared via Twitter showed him standing at the initial shooting scene. He was standing in the alleged robber&#8217;s dried blood and posing next to the bullet-riddled door, and this upload came merely 4 hours ahead of the drive-by shooting.</p>
