The three attackers were linked to a convicted slum dweller who pistol-whipped iconic Brooklyn rapper Buckshot. Tupac” said the musician.

The rapper was seriously injured and hospitalized as a result of an attack by a gang of thugs near a building he owned in East Flatbush on October 28.

The member of rap supergroup Boot Camp Clik was attacked on East 51st Street shortly before 5 p.m. NYPD is investigating the gang shooting.

Speaking exclusively to The Post, Buckshot, 49, said the violent incident left him with a concussion, a broken nose and knots on his forehead.

“There were at least three men. They shot me twice. “I still have a bump on the back of my head,” said the rapper, who was discharged from the hospital on Friday and is recovering.

Disturbing footage captured by passersby following the attack and widely distributed on social media showed a bloodied Buckshot on the ground trying to get up.

In the clip, he can be heard calling for an ambulance as he holds his swollen, drenched head.

The “Who Got the Props” rapper, who grew up in Crown Heights, was one of the founders of the Duck Down Music record label.

Buckshot claimed that the attack was carried out by a career criminal known in that neighborhood. The rapper explained that the Jamaican-born man used the property as a base of operations for years and kept ghost cars in his driveway.

“He preys on people and scams old ladies’ houses,” Buckshot said. “He is a title thief and a master con artist. (The previous owner) warned me about him but I thought I could talk to him. I tried a few times and he wasn’t (receptive).

“He wanted to make money on the streets and keep his place.”

When Buckshot began cleaning out the “dilapidated” house previously owned by one of the scammers’ elderly victims, the scammer called 911 and told dispatchers he owned the property.

Buckshot paid $46,000 for the three-family home in August, property records show.

Soon, he said, young men in the neighborhood started telling him, “Don’t come to the block anymore.”

They also tried to turn against him; A video taken by one of the attackers just before the attack was revealed on Friday shows a man filming Buckshot repeatedly calling him a “snitch.”

“These fake Crips were his enforcers,” Buckshot insisted, adding that the attackers were in their teens. “They were his friends.”

Buckshot claims the man behind the video “pushed me, and I pushed him back.” The man then called his friends on his mobile phone. “He said, ‘He finally hit me bro, go through the block,’ and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ I thought.”

After a while, the bandits attacked him.

“It is,” said Buckshot. “Everyone is behind him. I foiled an operation and the team he works with will do whatever he says.”

The rapper said he is still recovering from his injuries and is working with his own legal team and police “to make sure this matter is handled properly.”

The NYPD said police have begun investigating the attack but have not yet made any arrests.

Buckshot said he was undaunted by the brutal attack and will continue to work at home.

“I don’t accept bullies,” he said. “It’s unfortunate what happened. But I’m not running away.”
