Fans Praise Lil Scrappy After He Says He’s a ‘New Man’ Following Near Death Accident

Atlanta rapper Lil Scrappy shared a picture of the totaled vehicle he was driving in after his severe car accident and fans were completely taken aback.

The former ‘Crime Mob’ member survived a terrible car crash in June that left him with a broken leg. He took to Instagram on Thursday and shared a picture of the totaled car he was in the night of the crash. The white Mercedes’ entire front end is torn off of the car and all of the airbags were inflated.

Lil Scrappy appeared to be extremely grateful for making it out the demolished car safely and said he’s a changed man.

” Tbt is a very special one God brought me and my bro @casinoroulette out from our old lives. The old me died and the rebirth of a new man came upon me from the heavens #ThankGod.”

Many of the rapper’s fans could definitely “relate” and said he was a “living testimony.”

“Everyone deserves a second chance man, you got this one, stay with God, God is real,” one of Scrappy’s Instagram followers noted.

Another person added, “Amen. This is a true testimony. God didn’t allow you to GO THROUGH this to do the same old thing as usual. New day, new mercies, new beginnings, new creature. Blessings to you and your family🙏.”

“Wow! God protected you that day.”

“Omg 😮You we’re truly blessed that day & yes Lord🙌🏾 yes!❣️Won’t God Do It!?! Stay focused on the rework of building the new you Scrap & continue to stay prayed up my Brotha from another mother.”

One fan wrote, “Wooowww bless God n glory to God daaannnmmmm n ur still alive Jesus Christ.thx to the Almighty God 😳.”

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star and his friend Casino Roulette were found nearly unconscious on the ground after crashing into a Miami utility pole. The two were hospitalized for weeks.

However, Lil Scrappy recently announced that he’ll be up and walking again within a matter of weeks.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
