Lil Skies has been arrested for a suspected hit-and-run
Life of a Dark Rose rapper Lil Skies has been arrested by law enforcement following a hit-and-run in Pennsylvania. Although nobody was killed or seriously injured, the police have asserted that the emcee failed to stop and exchange insurance information with the affected driver.
Following the news, cultural commentator and podcaster DJ Akademiks shared the arrest report on Instagram. The suspected hit-and-run occurred in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, a short distance from his hometown of Waynesboro.
In the comments of DJ Akademiks’s post, fans expressed their unhappiness with Lil Skies’s behaviour. One user wrote, “Not cool, Skies. You should have stopped and exchanged insurance with the other motorist.”
Another fan added, “Bro can’t stay outta trouble. If I was in Lil Skies shoes I’d be locking in daily trying to create generational wealth for my family yet here he is driving his car 30 over the speed limit like an idiot man.”
Lil Skies is father to a four-year-old and, in an interview with AllHipHop.com earlier this year expressed what’s important to him concerning his child, stating, “For me, I know that it’s time. Me being there in person, that counts more than the money. That’s the biggest thing for me because I can’t get that back.”
Speaking about the impact of money on how he fathers his son, Skies (real name Kimetrius Foose) professed, “The money wherever that’s gonna be what it’s gon’ be. I can’t let that determine my happiness, and for my son too. So I try to be on that type of time, hands on with it.”
He concluded, “I’ve been like that since I had him since he was born. It’s natural at this point. It’s part of my life.” You can see the police report uploaded by DJ Akademiks below.
