Master P Reflects on Tragic New Orleans Truck Attack That Left 15 Dead

Master P shared his thoughts on the recent tragedy that occurred in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana, where a man drove a truck into a group of people.

On Thursday, the 54-year-old rapper posted a video on his Instagram to discuss the tragedy and provide an update on what's happening on Bourbon Street. In the video, the NOLA native walks down a street with Mayor LaToya Cantrell, telling viewers and residents that it is safe to return to the popular area.

"We out here, standing up for our people out here on Bourbon Street. New Orleans: we gon' bounce back, and there's nothing but love out here," he said. "Bourbon Street is opening back up and the love that's out here is incredible. This evil attack that happened: it can't stop what God's plan is because God gon' make something even bigger."

He added in a separate interview, "The resilience is gonna bring us back, and the love is gon' be here, and we gon' go on. I feel like the spirit of Bourbon Street never changes, and we're praying for the ones that lost their lives and their families. We know this is a town that we're going to continue to celebrate."

Bourbon Street was closed for a day following an attack in which at least 15 people were killed and 30 others were injured after 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas drove his rental pickup truck through a crowd celebrating New Year's Day. FBI confirmed finding an ISIS flag in his vehicle after he was shot and killed following a shootout with police.
