Cardi B Husband Offset Among Rappers Targeted In A Spate Of Shootings

Rappers in the music industry in America have been the targets of a spate of shootings lately and it is very alarming. The Rolling Loud Music Festival in Miami, Florida saw two rappers become the subject of shootings, in which one died. The shooting concerning rapper NBA Youngboy, whose girlfriend was wounded by gunfire, was undertaken by men in a dark SUV. NBA Youngboy spends a lot of time in Atlanta, Georgia. A bystander was shot and killed in the incident, and a small child was grazed by a bullet.

The second shooting claimed the life of Atlanta rapper Hellabandz, who was shot to death outside the Cameo club and theatre on Miami Beach, by an assailant who fired shots in the direction of the building (Hellabandz is a suspect in an Atlanta murder). A bystander was also shot in that shooting, but is expected to survive. The assailant was on foot, as Washington Ave is packed and not easy to speed away on, as opposed to Collins Ave with free following traffic, where the NBA Youngboy murder attempt occurred outside the Trump International resort.

The Hellabandz shooting was also a targeted incident. The assailant specifically targeted Hellabandz and at a place in Miami that is usually safe and free from shootings. Police heavily patrol the area to protect tourism. Therefore, in my opinion, it would likely be someone from out of town who would think nothing of opening fire there (much like the Trump International resort in the NBA Youngboy incident, which is usually a very safe place with police presence). Locals know better than to shoot up these places, as they are aware cops are around.

Days prior to the Rolling Loud shootings, Offset of the rap trio the Migos, who is married to fellow rapper, Cardi B, was recording music in an Atlanta recording studio, when shots rang out. Atlanta is located in Florida’s neighboring state of Georgia. News reports indicate bullets were fired into the building housing the recording studio.

Initially, reports also stated an individual was shot in the leg at the studio building, and once again the assailants firing the bullets were in a dark SUV, indicating the same method of operation as the Rolling Loud shooting targeting Youngboy NBA. Police were unable to locate the victim in the studio shooting, who allegedly left the scene before they arrived. It is also being reported that Offset left the premises before responding police arrived.

These acts of violence are related, with an out of town connection regarding Hollywood stars who live in Atlanta, as they were undertaken in the same manner, by men in dark SUVs, shooting into buildings with rappers present. Not to mention, Atlanta rapper Young Thug released a troubling set of videos on Instagram that lends the impression he is in fear for his life.

Young Thug is under criminal investigation for allegedly shooting into the tour bus of rapper Lil Wayne (More Evidence Emerges Indicating Rappers Young Thug And Birdman Tried To Kill Rival Lil Wayne). Coincidentally, Lil Wayne was at the Rolling Loud Music Festival in Miami, but due to police demanding to search him, he refused to go through with his performance.

In another development, NBA Youngboy was arrested in Atlanta for a scuffle at a Hyatt House hotel in downtown. Something weird is going on and it doesn't look good. You guys need to stop with the violence. What's the sense of being rich and famous if you end up dead early and can't enjoy it.

Worst of all, innocent bystanders are getting killed. A 5-year-old could have died when he was struck by a stray bullet (in the aforementioned incident). Let that sink in - you nearly killed an innocent kid. Get ahold of yourselves and stop this madness before something worse happens.

You guys shot up a building owned by the President of the United States. You are begging for trouble regarding the Feds, like the ATF and Secret Service, getting involved. Federal cases are not pretty. It's not the petty jail time. Federal cases come with hefty prison time. End this vendetta now.
