Monday, March 13, marked the ninth day of podcaster Taxstone's murder trial, and Troy Ave. testified for prosecutors.

Taxstone is accused of shooting and killing Troy's bodyguard, Ronald "Banga" McPhatter in 2016 inside New York's Irving Plaza. The rapper and podcaster were beefing at the time.

During his testimony, Troy talked about taking the gun away from Taxstone and detailed getting shot in both legs.

"When the shot goes off I see the light from the spark and I hear the shot," Troy recalled. "This is all happening fast. I get up and start fighting Taxstone, trying to take him, grab the gun, and another shot goes off. I put my leg up to kind of block the shot from hitting me in the face or chest ... I got up. I’d rather die fighting. People die from leg shots. I’d rather die fighting than laying on the ground. I got up immediately."

Any reaction to Troy's testimony?
