Lil Woody, who became a popular face during the YSL trial, was reportedly involved in a motor accident. Viral videos of the rapper-turned-legal-witness show him injured on an Atlanta street. As concern grew, Woody–real name Kenneth Copeland–took to social media with a brief message.
As mentioned, the news of Lil Woody’s accident came as videos hit the internet late Sunday night. The graphic videos show the rapper bloodied and lying motionless in the street in front of witnesses. Footage also shows a wrecked dirt bike or small motorcycle near Woody. Fox 5 Atlanta has revealed Peters Street in Atlanta as the location of the incident. At this time, it appears it was a self-inflicted wreck.

Rumors quickly circulated that Lil Woody had died. However, a video from him in the hospital and an Instagram Story post from his manager showed otherwise. The manager, Barry White, shared a clip of Woody and him sitting in a car, laughing while talking about the rapper pivoting to being a passenger prince.
“Maybach Conversations, YOU’RE OFFICIALLY A PASSENGER. I’M GLAD YOU’RE OKAY,” White wrote in the caption. It’s unclear if the video was taken before or after the incident.
Meanwhile, Lil Woody settled any doubts about his recovery by sharing a video on social media praising God. He said the Lord protects those who do his work. “No matter what goes on, pray and ask for forgiveness. God gon protect you at all costs. Even in a time of pain,” the rapper said in the hospital clip. The footage shows Lil Woody with road rash on his left cheek, under-eye, and shoulder area. He was also wearing a neck brace. A photo on his IG Story shows more bloody road rash on the side of his head.
On Monday, he shared another selfie video on his Instagram Story. In it, he wore a hospital gown, face mask and bandages on his face and head. He also appeared to have a bruised and swollen eye. He thanked the outpour of concern and support. A follow-up written post said,“Whoever took me to the hospital. Thank you I owe you.”
