Black Moon front man Buckshot Shorty has issued a statement regarding his recent brutal Brooklyn assault. In a statement to AllHipHop, the Brooklyn MC delivered a message to his concerned fans. “To all my friends, fans, and supporters, thank you for reaching out during this difficult time,” he said.

“Recently, I was the victim of a violent assault involving multiple individuals armed with weapons, including handguns. This attack stems from ongoing disputes over my property, where I am the rightful owner but have faced issues with unauthorized occupants who escalated the situation to violence.”

He continued, “As someone who’s been an entertainer and part of this community for over 30 years, I am deeply disturbed that such an incident could happen in New York—a city I love and call home. Violence like this has no place here, and I’m calling on everyone to come together to make New York safer and better for all of us."

Buckshot, born Kenyatta Blake was the victim of an assault in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Several websites and social media outlets reported that Blake was assaulted on (10/28), with many posting a disturbing video which claims to be Buckshot in the aftermath of the assault. The video showed several bystanders and passersby who offered no assistance as he struggled on the ground.

Black Moon debuted in '93 with the critically acclaimed album Enta Da Stage. Their combining of dusty beats with Jazz samples and muted bass lines helped to define what some describe as Hip-Hop's mid 90's "second golden era". Black Moon are also part of the Boot Camp Clik collective which includes Heltah Skeltah, Smif N Wessun and OGC.
