Who Is YTB Fatt And Is He Alive? All About The Rapper Amid His Alleged Shootout And Death Reports

YTB Fatt, the rising rapper from Memphis, made headlines recently over concerning posts on social media claiming that he was killed in a shootout. Posts on Instagram, Reddit, and X (Formerly Twitter) claimed that Fatt was left fatally injured while he was reportedly filming a video in his neighbourhood in West Memphis, Arkansas.

The posts gained traction in no time, with fans searching for verified accounts, worried about the rapper's health. But how much of the story is actually true? Let us break it down to what exactly happened. 

Is YTB Fatt alive? Pimp K clarifies the buzz

Let us just clarify that, despite the widespread online claims, YT Fatt is very much alive. The 24-year-old rapper, whose real name is Cavon De'Shawn Paige, was reportedly involved in a frightening incident near his grandmother's home in the West Memphis neighbourhood, but he was not fatally injured, and some reports say it was his cousin's sister.

The confusion surrounding Paige's alleged shootout incident began after some social media pages claimed he had been shot while filming a music video, along with a clip from a live showing a neighbourhood surrounded by multiple police cars. However, the rapper's close circle has quickly shut down the buzz. YTB Fatt's cousin, known publicly as Pimp K, took to social media and clarified that while a shootout did happen, it was not the rapper who was injured. Instead, it was a family member, reportedly Pimp K's sister, who was the victim. Fellow rapper, Doodie Lo (real name David Saulsberry), also reassured fans via social media that YTB Fatt was safe.

What we know about the alleged shootout

According to various accounts circulating online, the alleged shootout occurred on Monday, March 31, 2026, when YTB Fatt was filming a music video in his neighbourhood when gunfire broke out near the location, possibly targeting the rapper's house. While the details are limited at this point, with no official confirmation from authorities, multiple sources hinted that the situation escalated quickly and police vehicles soon swarmed the area. Despite these claims, there are no credible reports about whether the 24-year-old rapper was shot. However, sources close to Fatt insist he escaped the alleged shootout unharmed.
