Lil B has expressed his relief after being rescued from a fire by a 15-year-old boy.
During the morning of Thursday 15 January a fire tore through the rapper's apartment building in California. Teenager Mateo Ysmael saved the lives of all the residents by running through the building, going from door to door to wake everyone up.
Lil B said that he was "grateful to be alive" and he might not have made it "if that kid didn't come knocking on [his] door," in an interview with the Contra Costa Times.
Luckily only a few costumes were lost along with music and minimal damage to the property. If any fans want to help out however, his Paypal address has been posted online.
