It was exciting for French Montana as he celebrated the release of Coke Boys 6, but it was a harrowing evening for all attendees. French was said to have filmed a music video in or near The Licking in Miami Gardens when the incident occurred. The rapper was captured enjoying himself with his crew before a hail of gunfire rang out on the crowd. Ten people were injured in the chaos, but thankfully, everyone walked away alive.
Rapper Rob49 was one of those who took a hit, and he detailed what happened with HipHopDX. He refuted claims that they were shooting a video and said it was a celebration of their collaboration, “Igloo.” Rob added, “We were just chilling, and we just wanted to perform the song and sh*t and celebrate because it was dropping that night. So we just went to turn up with him. I saw [reports] that it was a music video and I was like, alright, I’m not even about to clear that up.”
French Montana Releases A Statement
There was growing concern for Rob49 after it was shared he was one of the victims. However, it was quickly noted that he was recovering well; weeks later, he returned to Instagram. The rapper touted his arm in a sling, but he was in good spirits and with friends. Meanwhile, French Montana addressed the incident in a statement on social media.
“Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant,” Frech wrote in January. “We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time.”
Heavy Game Has Nerve Damage
Another rapper on the scene was Heavy Game, and in a recent freestyle with Supa Cindy of 99 Jamz, he detailed his ordeal. Heavy was reportedly shot in the chest and armpit, and he also had an arm in a sling. He spit bars about hearing the shots ring out, seeing his friends gasp for breath, and the ongoing recovery process. It is unclear if police have any suspects.
