Lil Skies is in hot water after reportedly being arrested for an alleged hit-and-run incident in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The issue? Authorities claim he didn’t stop to exchange insurance information with the other driver.
DJ Akademiks brought the situation to light on Instagram, sparking a flurry of fan reactions. One fan wrote, “Not cool Skies, should have stopped & exchanged insurance with the other motorist,” while another commented, “Bro can’t stay outta trouble. If I was in Lil Skies shoes I’d be locking in daily trying to create generational wealth for my family yet here he is driving his car 30 over the speed limit like an idiot man.” The arrest reportedly occurred last month.
Skies, a father of a four-year-old, recently opened up about the importance of fatherhood in an interview with AllHipHop. He shared, “For me, I know that it’s time. Me being there in person, that counts more than the money. That’s the biggest thing for me, because I can’t get that back. The money wherever, that’s gonna be what it’s gon’ be. I can’t let that determine my happiness, and for my son too. So I try to be on that type of time, hands on with it. I’ve been like that since I had him, since he was born. It’s natural at this point, it’s part of my life.”
This legal trouble follows the release of his new mixtape, Out Ur Body Music, which dropped in March.
