It seems like the rapper is fine. He was reportedly planning on heading to Drake's Super Bowl afterparty following the incident but his lawyer has provided a clearer update. Bradford Cohen shared an official statement on behalf of Yak on his IG page along with a screenshot of TMZ's headline. He explained that Yak is in stable condition after he was struck in the leg.

"There was an unprovoked attack on an individual kodak was with, when security and kodak came to his aid, several shots were fired at them by an unidentified assailant," Cohen wrote on Instagram. "Luckily, this was all caught on video. Kodak was struck in the leg. It was not life-threatening, he will make a full recovery and he is in stable condition."

Yak hasn't directly addressed the shooting but he did take to Instagram yesterday to publicly announce his $20K wager on the Los Angeles Rams.
