Ultimately, Drakeo died from his injuries. He was 28.
Headliners for the festival included 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and YG. Drakeo was also set to perform, however, that never happened.

Sadly, Drakeo was killed on his girlfriend’s birthday. His girlfriend, who goes by Noel Bianca on social media, posted up a series of posts in reaction to the death of her partner.
”Darrell you knew everything about me and still loved me,” she wrote. “I will miss our drunk nights, our arguments over nothing, u singing Sam Smith to me in the car, holding my hand 24/7, massaging my feet, staring at me while I’m sleeping. This loss is unbearable.”
”I will follow you anywhere you lead me. Even if the path is painful to get thru. I know you will be by my side baby,” she wrote in another post.
Sad.
Word on the curb is that rapper YG allegedly “set Drakeo up” and there are threats that YG can longer perform in Los Angeles. Peep the clip below:

Sighs. When does it end?
The senseless violence has to STOP! So many rappers dying because of violence - Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, King Von, Young Dolph and more - and didn't have to.
