The police believe that rapper OMB Peezy was the target of a super sketchy shooting at a nightclub in Raleigh. Like, what the heck?! It’s crazy to think that someone would want to go after a rapper like Peezy. But you know what they say – fame comes with a price.
The incident went down after Peezy’s performance in Raleigh. The cops are still trying to piece everything together and find out why Peezy was targeted.
Per XXL, the MC was in Raleigh, North Carolina for a show. After leaving the StarBar nightclub at around 4 a.m. “around 20 shots” were fired in the venue’s parking lot. The bullets were unleashed on OMB Peezy’s Merecedes-Benz Sprinter van, with about four other cars getting hit with strays as well.
“Once we got to the club, I would say about 4 a.m., is when we heard shots fired outside the club, and everybody pretty much ran outside,” an anonymous woman told Raleigh news station WRAL. “We couldn’t really tell where the shots were coming from,” she added. After the gunshots stopped, Peezy’s driver managed to get away.
It wasn’t the smoothest retreat, but with the severity of the situation, we can only imagine how terrified everyone was within OMB Peezy’s circle. The van did hit a few cars during the escape and eventually land in a ditch away from the scene of the crime. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Moreover, at the time of writing, police are looking into this act of violence as aggravated assault. Finally, XXL has tried to reach out to the rapper’s team and the Raleigh Police Department.
In the meantime, OMB Peezy is laying low and staying safe. I don’t blame him. You never know who’s out to get you in this crazy world. So, let this be a reminder to all the up-and-coming rappers out there – fame comes with a price. Stay safe and watch your back, because you never know when someone might be targeting you.
