AceShowbiz - Boosie Badazz (previously known as Lil Boosie) had another close call, six months after he was shot in Dallas, Texas. A shooting occurred on the set of his music video in Huntsville, Alabama this past weekend.
The rapper was filming on Saturday, May 29 when shots rang out. In a video which has circulated online, the Baton Rogue native and others scattered and ran for their lives as the shots were fired.
According to TMZ, cops responded to a report of shots fired around 4:30 P.M. When they arrived on the scene, cops noticed between 50 and 100 people attempted to flee the scene, either by foot or in vehicles. Huntsville Police Department tells the site that they barely found witnesses who were willing to talk.
One person was killed in the incident. The man, who is in his 20s, was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital and was listed in critical condition, but later was pronounced dead due to his injuries.
The victim has since been identified as 20-year-old Randall Strong Jr. Despite difficulties to gather information from the witnesses, police have also arrested the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Christopher Kwan Freeman.
Hunstville PD says Christopher turned himself in on Sunday morning. Cops say he and the victim, Randall, had an altercation which led up to the shooting.
Despite his presence on the music video set, Boosie later denied involvement in the shooting. Taking to his Twitter account, he stressed that he was not targeted in the shooting. "AINT NOBODY TRY TO KILL ME N HUNTSVILLE AL. YALL MFS BE HAPPY TO SPREAD LIES ON ME #LOL," so he posted on Saturday.
The 38-year-old also seems to be fine and unscathed after the scary incident as he was spotted shopping for new clothes several hours after the incident.
Some people were upset that Boosie appeared to play down the shooting that killed one person. "Yea but somebody did die on set of your video shoot. We seen the video they shot yal ran fast af," one person replied to his tweet.
A second user sarcastically asked, "So it was friendly bullets?" Another similarly pointed out, "But somebody did get kilt at your video shoot you should at least reach out to the family and donate some to the funeral."
His fans, however, were relieved that he's okay. "Glad And Blessed To Know You Are Alright," one of them tweeted. "I Forgot You Were Out Of Miami And I'm Greatful To Hear That This Too Is Not So, Either."
Another echoed the sentiment, "I'm so happy you're okay, I never believe nobody was shooting at you. You most definitely don't bother nobody and don't let the haters still your joy.God got you covered." Someone else added, "Love you babe...glad you're okay! Prayers for everyone involved."
