A rapper with ties to slain artist XXXTentacion was recovering in the hospital on Monday night after being shot in the head outside a convenience store in Florida, a report said.

C Glizzy, 16, whose real name is Christian Moore, was struck by a bullet fired by an unknown suspect on Saturday night in Pompano Beach, Fla., according to WPLG-TV.

After the shooting, Glizzy’s brother attempted to rush him to the hospital and rammed into a barrier on the exit ramp off I-95, the report said.

Eventually, Glizzy made it to Broward Health North where he underwent surgery to remove the bullet from his head.

His family said that he was sedated and not talking.

Glizzy was a close associate of XXXTentacion, who was fatally shot last year outside a South Florida motorcycle shop.
