JayDaYoungan’s Death
JayDayYoungan, born Javorius Scott, was shot and killed in his hometown of Bogalusa, La. back in July of 2022. The rapper’s father, Kenyatta Scott, was also injured during the shooting but survived. A few days after the shooting, JayDaYoungan’s father spoke out about the incident and said his son was ambushed by five gunmen while the rapper and his father were sitting in the front yard of their home.
Despite reports that the shooting was gang-related, Scott Sr. said he believed the shooting was done out of jealousy.
“[He was a] good, humble and respectful kid,” Kenyatta Scott told reporters.
One of the men accused of shooting JayDayYoungan committed suicide when the police tried to apprehend him last June for an unrelated murder.
