Lil Woody's accident sparked further controversy as it came shortly after his name was brought up in fellow YSL rapper Young Thug's police Q&A audio. The interrogation audio clip caused further tension in Atlanta and raised questions about Woody's alleged involvement.

The rapper's representatives have yet to make an official statement about his well-being as of writing. However, a video featuring Woody from a hospital bed featured him addressing his fans and followers to keep faith in God.

Ahead of his accident on August 31, Lil Woody shared multiple videos on his Instagram stories.

Earlier this year, Lil Woody also faced legal trouble. On June 22, Atlanta police arrested the rapper for alleged involvement in a reckless stunt driving incident during a street takeover. Woody faced several charges, including stunt driving, driving on the wrong side of the road, and “laying drags” by operating a vehicle in circular motions.

Lil Woody also made headlines this year after he was caught performing dangerous stunts in a car in Atlanta. The alleged incident took place at the intersection of Whitehall Street SW and McDaniel Street SW in the city, where he was seen taking illegal turns and breaking traffic regulations by turning at a red light.

Following this incident, Woody was detained by the Atlanta police at the Atlanta City Detention Center. He was released on bail on July 3.

In other news, Woody was also one of the key witnesses in the highly publicized RICO trial, which took place last year. His fellow YSL rapper, Young Thug, was one of the accused individuals in the trial, who was released after the court proceedings.

During his testimony, Woody had admitted to falsifying facts to avoid trouble for himself and lying to law enforcement officials on more than one occasion.
