The rapper's mother, Darrylene Corniel, told Rolling Stone that she wants justice for her son while reenacting what happened to him on the night of the incident. She ran two fingers up from her collarbone and showed where a culprit stabbed the blade into Drakeo the Ruler's neck.
For the matriarch, the killing put an end to his life and the music career that was starting.
"He was hit in his neck. I saw him when I went to the hospital. They said it's a homicide, so I wasn't able to hug him or kiss him or anything like that. I had to look at him through a window," she emotionally said.
Corniel went on to declare that she wants people to know how much she wants justice for her son. In the end, she warned she would not rest until justice is served.
