Another rapper, Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, was allegedly targeted in a drive by shooting last week in Miami. Thug was in Miami performing at the Rolling Loud music festival.

In the most notable shooting tied to the festival, gunmen in a passing Cadillac Escalade opened fire on rapper NBA YoungBoy as he and his 10-member entourage exited Trump International Beach Resort Miami in Sunny Isles Beach on Sunday afternoon. Those shots wounded the rapper’s 19-year-old girlfriend, Kaylyn Marie Long, and grazed a 5-year-old bystander.
