Troy Ave Speaks Out on Shooting & Bodyguard's Death for the First Time

 

Troy Ave has spoken publicly about losing his best friend Ronald "Banga" McPhatter, who was also his bodyguard, in an audio clip obtained by DatPiff. On the same day McPhatter was laid to rest Troy Ave spoke out for the first time on the situation, revealing that his best friend's death hurt him worse than getting shot. 

The incarcerated Brooklyn rapper, who was caught on surveillance footage firing shots the night McPhatter was killed in Irving Plaza, added that he can't properly mourn and shed tears for his friend because it would look "weak." Troy then revealed that he wanted to send McPhatter in a horse drawn carriage to his funeral and place him in a mausoleum.
