Lil Wayne Tour Bus Shot Up in Atlanta After Nightclub Performance
At least one of hip-hop star Lil Wayne's tour buses was shot at, early Sunday Morning as he left an Atlanta club after a late night performance.
Wayne, according to TMZ, was with his fellow rapper Lil Twist and several "Young Money" execs, boarding the buses outside Atlanta's Compound nightclub, when an unidentified gunman opened fire. It's unknown which of the two buses Wayne or Twist was traveling on.
Since the incident, HollywoodLife reports neither the 32-year-old Wayne nor Twist have tweeted about the shooting.
The early morning shooting comes just over a month after Wayne's Miami home was the scene of a "police swatting." According to ABC, Florida cops raided the home in early March after a prank caller phoned authorities to report up to four people had been shot on the property. Swarming officers arrived to scene to learn not only had there not been a shooting, but the home was completely empty. Later, it was confirmed that the rap star wasn't even in time at the time the call was logged.
"Unfortunately this appears to be a 'swatting' call," the Miami Beach police later posted on social media. "No victims/no injuries/no subject [present]."
"Swatting" is known as a prank where someone is able to convince authorities to dispatch an emergency unit to a fake incident or crime scene. Besides Wayne, other celebrities who have been the victims of such recent actions include Justin Timberlake, Tom Cruise and Miley Cyrus.
Reportedly, Wayne recently dropped a $51 million lawsuit against his one-time mentor Birdman and his "Cash Money" record label. The basis of the suit stemmed from his frustrations with the delayed release of his "Tha Carter V" album and allegations that he and his "Young Money" company had not been paid all the royalties and advances due them.
Wayne is known for such classic hits as "Stuntin' Like My Daddy," "I'm On One," "Look At Me Now," "Lollipop" and "Down."
