youngi Ace once admitted something to DJ Vlad that everyone seems to be ignoring when I went to jail and like a like had like eight people telling them these were your friends couple on now I got one question to ask when Ace got out what do you think he did to those friends yes we're all thinking the same thing betrayal doesn't go unpunished when you're about that life so who were those friends and do we know what happened to them well we do strapp in boys and girls you won't believe who the snitch might be the Betrayal of yungi Ace people who know yungin Ace whether they're riding with him or against him understand one thing crystal clear you don't mess with Ace unless you're ready to face the heat he's warned folks himself and he's not the type to make empty threats you approach me be ready to die be ready to die or go to jail that's not your mentality is that that's my mentality I'm ready to die go to jail right now this mentality yungin Ace has developed makes him extremely dangerous especially when it comes to betrayal in a revealing interview with Vlad TV Ace was out spoken about how betrayal can take many forms and he made it clear he doesn't take it lightly when your family leave you betrayal you know what I'm saying you leave me down bad it's betrayal you know what I'm saying when I need you and you want there betray but when you need me I was there Ace went on in that same interview to describe what he considers the worst kind of betrayal the worst betrayal is your home boy when the person you love tell on you to the police Ace isn't just speaking hypothetically he's drawing from hard-earned experience he shared that he's been betrayed multiple times by friends he trusted completely during that revealing interview with Vlad TV young Jean Ace disclosed that 8 people he knew snitched on him leading to his time Behind Bars when I went to jail I had like a like had like eight people telling on these were your friends couple on was this betrayal cut deep for Ace leaving him not just hurt but also highly suspicious of the people around him this suspicion didn't come out of nowhere it was shaped by the environment he grew up in an environment where trust was a rare commodity and loyalty was often tested young Jean Ace has never had it easy born in East Chicago Indiana his childhood was marked by Relentless adversity life was anything but smooth for Ace and his family as one of 11 Brothers he saw his mom struggle to hold it down for such a big household they were constantly on the Move getting evicted from one spot after another always chasing a place to call home sometimes they ended up crashing with relatives or stuck in Rundown motels doing whatever it took just to survive this constant grind was one of the hardest parts of Ace's childhood and it left a on him that he carries to this day so it really like the living that's probably like was the hardest oh we got it done though getting put out here and there down here living in hotels and the absence of Ace's father only added to their hardships his father spent most of Ace's childhood in prison leaving a significant void in his life it wasn't until Ace was about 17 that he finally met his father but by then the damage had been done without a stable male role model during his formative years Ace looked up to his uncle who tried to fill that role tragically this relationship was cut short when his uncle died when Ace was just 14 this loss was a turning point for Ace pushing him to take music more seriously as a way to cope with his harsh reality growing up in Jacksonville Florida Ace was surrounded by crime the environment was unforgiving and survival often meant adapting to the brutal conditions music became Ace's crucial Escape offering a brief reprieve from the Relentless challenges he faced every day he drew inspiration from artists like Lil boozy Kevin Gates and Michael Jackson Who provided the soundtrack to his turbulent life and influenced his decision to pursue music Ace's first step into music came through the young gang a group founded by some of his older brothers it gave him a creative outlet and a sense of belonging in 2017 he released the track go to war with the young gang which quickly gained traction racking up 100,000 views on YouTube in its first week but music wasn't the only thing Ace found in his environment the streets pulled him in too and he slowly Rose to dominance the thing about the streets though is it's a whole different ball game one wrong move can get you killed or locked up which is why Loyalty means everything to Young Ace and why betrayals cut so deep for him the chain of events that many believe led to Ace being betrayed by eight of his closest allies began on December 4th 2016 on that ill- fated day yungin Ace his friend DeAndre Thomas better known as Trey shorty and two other associates set out to buy weed from a local dealer but things took a deadly turn when the calm of an apartment complex on Crossing Boulevard in Orange Park Florida was suddenly Shattered by a barrage of gunfire the Klay County Sheriff's Office rolled up to a scene straight out of a nightmare someone or a group had Unleashed 18 rounds into an apartment building the bullets tore through walls and windows with 1. 40 caliber round even piercing the headrest of a high chair where a 12-month-old baby Sat by some miracle the baby was unharmed but most of those shots were aimed right at Apartment 43 that apartment belonged to Jonathan torella and his girlfriend Savannah when the cops showed up they told investigators that an associate named Unique had hit them up saying he was sending some friends over to buy some weed not long after four Dudes pulled up at their spot sensing something was off and fearing a setup Jonathan and Savannah quickly shut the door but it was too late gunfire erupted through the window forcing them to die for cover they managed to catch a glimpse of the suspect speeding off in a dark colored four-door whip crime scene was littered with 40 caliber shell casing which forensic testing later showed came from two different guns these same casings were linked to other shootings in Jacksonville pointing to a pattern of violence when detective showed Jonathan and Savannah a picture of unique's driver's license they immediately recognized him as unique Amison a dude they'd sold weed to plenty of times before 8 days after the shooting cops Tracked Down unique for questioning he spilled the beans saying Yen Ace and Trey shorty had rolled up to his spot asking if he knew anyone selling weed using Ace's phone unique called Jonathan and set up the deal now is unique one of the eight people Ace later claimed betrayed him who knows but unique didn't hesitate he told the cops that Ace was driving a dark blue Mazda with DeAndre riding shotgun and two other guys in the back the cops later confirmed that the car was registered in Ace's name 17 days after the shooting on December 21st Savannah picked Ace out of a photo lineup saying she spotted him at the bottom of the stairs leading up to her apartment just before she slammed the door word is young in Ace was the getaway driver while deantre Thomas was ided as the one doing the shooting with these IDs detectives had enough to charge Ace with accessory after the fact on June 21st 2017 SWAT raided yunging Ace's apartment cuffed him and hauled him off to the Robbery Homicide unit for questioning there's a lot of things I want to talk to you about I need you to be honest with me inside the interrogation room yungi Ace faced a Relentless barrage of questions from detectives they zeroed in on the shooting at Crossing Boulevard but Ace stood his ground denying any involvement or knowledge of the incident but at this point the walls were already closing in on him people close to him had already snitched the cops had receipts too playing audio recordings of those betrayals right in front of him hey that's that that's your boy that's what he said run his mouth that's what he said that's what that's he that what he said he did I swear to God I promised to Ace kept denying any hand in the shooting throughout the interview but it was clear the weight of betrayal was Heavy he was reeling struggling to understand how his closest people could turn on him so easily Ace was eventually charged as an accessory in the attempted robbery and sentenced to 31 months of probation the Betrayal hit him hard he later revealed that one of the yungen gang members was among those who snitched which caused the group to drift apart and you're talking about how the group started sort of move apart at that point uh no it it moved apart before then like when I went to jail uh somebody had told one of them had told on many believe that after this Ace's mindset shifted he wasn't playing around anymore some say this new hardened Outlook is what led to the Fallout with Jay d youngan one of his closest friends if you're not familiar with this wild Theory let me break it down before Jay de Jan's tragic death he and yungin Ace were tight Jay de youngan born javorius tii Scott hailed from baloa Louisiana miles away from Jacksonville where Ace grew up but when the two linked up at a party thrown by their label cinematic they clicked instantly just like yungin Ace Jay youngan was all about the music from a young age he dropped out of high school at 18 to chase his dreams and quickly made a name for himself with his Unique Style and raw storytelling his first mixtape dropped in 2016 but it was his 2019 hit 23 Island that really put him on the map earning him widespread recognition but just like Ace Jay de Jan's life outside the studio was anything but smooth his run-ins with the law only added to his controversial Persona it all started spiraling in May 19 when Jay de youngan got caught up with the law in Florida what started as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated when the cops found 20 G of weed drug paraphernalia and Oxycodone pills in his ride that arrest caus him a spot at the rolling loud music festival a missed opportunity that definitely stung by March 2020 Jay de youngan was deep in the trenches again this time for allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman when the cops raided his crib they didn't just find trouble they found $24,000 in cash promethazine oxycodone and a stash of firearms word on the street is that when the cops rolled up Jay de youngan was hiding out in the Attic like some scene straight out of a hood flick the charges were heavy assault and illegal drug possession but Jay posted bail and kept it pushing riding the wave of controversy that always seemed to follow him despite all the chaos surrounding him jayan's friendship with yungi Ace was still something their fans looked up to through all the noise they had each other's backs their bond was tight and it showed when they linked up for a joint project in 2019 called can't speak on it the chemistry between them was undeniable whether in the studio or out in the public eye but like any close friendship theirs wasn't immune to tension as time went on the dynamic between them started to shift tensions began to Bubble Up eventually leading to a Fallout while the exact reasons for their drift aren't entirely clear many speculate that it had something to do with NBA young boy whatever the cause it was obvious their relationship got strained in the months leading up to Jay dungan's tragic death the two reportedly unfollowed each other on social media and stopped promoting each other's music a major change from how they used to red for each other publicly on July 27th 2022 Jay dungan's life came to a brutal end that day started like any other he was at his family spot in baloa a place he always kept close despite having his own crib elsewhere but by around 5:50 p. m.
the piece was shattered the police received a call reporting shots fired and they rushed to the scene a home with Jay Dean's bright blue Corvette parked out front when they got there they found Jay de youngan critically injured by gunfire his father kinat Scott was also hit in the same Ambush Jay lay on the driveway barely clinging to life as Emergency Services arrived to rush him to the nearest hospital kinat was taken to the ER by a neighbor also in critical condition as J day youngan was being rushed to the hospital the drama wasn't over Ops weren't satisfied they followed the ambulance and another shooting broke out at the hospital a car was riddled with bullets but luckily no one was hurt in that second attack investigators quickly connected the dots realizing the attackers were making a second attempt on Jay Dean's life rumors started flying online that J day youngan had died credible sources tweeted about his death sending his fans into a friend of grief and panic but Jay's sister took to social media to shut down the rumors telling people to stop spreading false info for a few hours there was still hope but as the Clock Struck midnight the devastating news was confirmed Jay youngan was gone in the aftermath of his death many started speculating that yungin Ace might have been involved some people believed that Jada Jan's betrayal had come with a heavy price suggesting that Ace had a hand in the tragedy but that wasn't Ace's Vibe at all after the murder Ace was completely devastated expressing nothing but heartbreak over the loss of his friend after Jay De Young 's tragic death yungi Ace took to social media to share a heartfelt message that revealed the Deep pain and regret he felt over their unresolved issues in his message a said I wasn't even gone come post brother cuz this been eating me in the inside cuz we wasn't seeing eye to eye about some we could have rekindled I'm lost hurt broken twin I love you forever Ace didn't stop there he even kept it real in interviews opening up about how hurt he was over the whole situation he talked about how they could have worked it out saying it wasn't even that deep to begin with but their pride got in the way it was just that we could have just talked about both had some little arrogant going on that we could have just he waiting on me to call him I waiting on him to call me I'm I ain't calling he going he going to call he on the same type of time on feel me when that some while Ace's words seemed genuine it's worth noting that he was just as empathetic after fulio's death someone many believe Ace had a hand in taking out even now some people suspect yungin Ace might have been involved in Jay Dean's death mainly because of his reputation for being ruthless to those who crossed him in the past people who have crossed young jeene Ace and regretted over the years plenty of people have learned the hard way that betraying or disrespecting Ace comes with serious consequences one major incident that sparked a brutal response happened after he was ambushed on June 5th 2018 on that day yungi Ace and his close-knit circle of friends and family had planned a special evening to celebrate his brother's recent graduation and his best friend's birthday on his birthday I'm like [ __ ] bro let's let's go do some cuz our life so up is like you live or you die
