"God is real yall! Take this life s*** serious ! I was almost on a T-shirt."

Royal later posted his X-ray image on Facebook and wrote: "Yes me and the homies got shot at couple days ago. AK-47 bullet flew past my head and I was hit with the bullet fragments, three frags stuck in my forehead for life."

The fragments only missed his brain by centimetres and they will be permanently lodged in the rapper's skull.

"I'm just blessed to see another day and rap about it," Royal wrote on Facebook.
