YG Leads Peace Walk to Unite Rival Gangs in Southern California

YG is stepping up to bring peace to the streets of Southern California.

The Compton rapper organized a peace walk to unite two rival gangs—Treetop Pirus and Fruit Town Pirus—who have been at odds for over a decade.

YG led the march in a bid to end the long-standing feud.

In an interview with TMZ, YG explained, “We came together. My hood and the Fruit Town Pirus across the street, we’ve been at war for, like, the last 10 years. We just enemies. So I felt like we all needed to come together and walk down our Main Street. We all from Piru so we don’t really need to be beefing with each other. We’ve been doing that shit for years, so it’s time to like… if we can clean it, clean it up.”

They also ate at Tam’s Burgers, the Compton spot that Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video put on the map, to symbolize their new unity.

This move is a big step forward for these communities, proving that peace is possible even in the face of years of beef.
