Popular content creator Famous Richard, known for his comedy videos and vlogs, revealed that he was recently shot after allegedly being set up by a fake Instagram promo page. On Saturday, December 14, 2024, Richard posted an Instagram story from what appeared to be an ambulance, sharing details of the incident. He claimed that individuals ambushed him during what he believed was a promotional opportunity.
“This page just backdoored me... I just got shot. I love you all,” Richard wrote. He later shared a screenshot of the Instagram account in question, @titi_lildemon, which has over 500 followers.
While more details about the shooting remain unclear, Richard’s announcement quickly garnered widespread attention. Fans and social media users flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter), offering prayers and support for his recovery. Messages ranged from disbelief at the situation to expressions of concern, with some pointing to the dangers of social media scams.
Famous Richard, born in February 1999, has built a strong following through his comedic YouTube videos, vlogs, and self-produced music. He currently has over 358,000 Instagram followers and continues to engage a loyal fanbase.
This isn’t Richard’s first brush with controversy. In December 2023, the content creator made headlines when he was arrested on robbery charges. Reports at the time claimed that Richard was identified by a police officer while attempting to film a video at a Port Authority terminal. The incident stemmed from an alleged fight at a smoke shop, where Richard was accused of displaying a weapon and taking items. He pleaded not guilty and was released without bail.
As fans continue to send well wishes, Richard has yet to share further updates on his condition. Authorities have not released any official statements regarding the shooting at this time.
