Shooting After Mozzy Performance Causes Club Closure

Hip-hop fans recently experienced a shock when authorities arrested Mozzy following a shooting at a nightclub he performed at. Moreover, it occurred on Saturday (July 1) at City Nightz nightclub in Wichita, Kansas and left nine people injured due to gunshot wounds and two injured due to being trampled amid the chaos. Police stated that these victims, both male and female are aged between 21 and 34, and five of these received treatment at local hospitals. Furthermore, the rapper hosted an afterparty following a performance of his at another venue, but the unrelated distressing events held heavy consequences for the club. According to local outlet 12 News, authorities hit City Nightz with a 30-day suspension, or in other words, temporary closure.

What’s more is that law enforcement already made significant strides in identifying the true culprit for this shooting. The Wichita Police Department arrested 31-year-old Missouri resident Brandon Young in connection with the incident. Not only that, but Chief Joe Sullivan told 12 News that Young actually worked as a security guard for Mozzy that night. In addition, Sullivan stressed the importance of screening people before entering the club as an important safety precaution that could’ve prevented these injuries.

“We need to take a strong stance in response to what occurred, because in my estimate,” Sullivan remarked of the shooting at the Mozzy afterparty. Also, he brought up that City Nightz faced 12 prior occurrences like these this year alone. “I believe it was totally preventable. You can’t have gun violence under control. If you have one homicide, one shooting, that’s too many. We were actually below last year in shooting victims, but due to the number of the shooting victims that happened in that one incident, we were slightly above last year. It’s a major concern for us… I am really hoping this is a wakeup call for club owners across our city, not just in Old Town.”

Meanwhile, authorities released the California MC shortly after his brief stint. Presumably, they interrogated him concerning the shooting and let him go on no charges for what went down. Hopefully his future shows don’t see danger like this again. For more news and the latest updates on Mozzy, check back in with HNHH.

Reuniting with longtime collaborator and Drake’s go-to producer Boi-1da, award-winning R&B singer-songwriter Savannah Ré is showing a new side of her artistry with “Closure”. In the new song, Savannah asserts her worth and calls out toxic Fboy energy. “Closure” blends Baile Funk percussion with dancehall and soca influences for an up-tempo track unlike anything Savannah has released before.

“Closure” arrives as the second release from Savannah’s eagerly anticipated sophomore project No Weapons due out early this Fall.

“I tapped into my past for this one, especially on the voicemail in the beginning (that’s actually me),” Savannah shares. “‘Closure’ is about a relationship that has run its course, but you’re still enamoured with this person and make the last-ditch effort to hold onto something that’s already gone. Even though it’s about toxicity, I wanted it to have an uplifting energy to it with tempo and bright sounds.”

With “Closure”, Savannah continues the narrative started with the EP’s sensual lead single, “About U”, which was unveiled last month. Praised for its vulnerability and smooth, flawless vocals, “About U” set the tone for her new artistic chapter – one that is unapologetically authentic Savannah.

“Closure” is produced by Boi-1da, YogiTheProducer and Kevinshideout. “When Yogi and I brought the production to Boi-1da and played it for him, he was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is crazy,’ says Savannah. “He knew exactly what it needed. He added his 1da sauce to it and it became this hybrid of a bunch of different genres – something that I haven’t really made before.”

“Closure” is available now on all platforms via Capitol Records. Stream it below.
