UPDATE 1: Maino Says him and his entourage was not involved in the shooting.
No Description
Original Story: Following news reports of Troy Ave being involved in the shooting taken place last night at Irving Plaza in New York, it has been reported that the man who died in the shooting was apart of Ave’s entourage.
BSB affiliate Banga, who was Ave’s bodyguard, was brought to Beth Israel Hospital on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where he was later pronounced dead. Banga’s mother, Rose, told NY Daily News that Troy Ave was at fault for the shooting and bashed him for not sending his condolences:
He actually cared a lot about Troy Ave. My wish is that Troy Ave cared as much about my son as he cared about him. I say that because I watched how my son would always bend over backwards to help him.
Though it was reported by Karen Civil last night that the Brooklyn rapper was grazed by a bullet, it is now reported that Troy was not only firing shots, but SHOT HIMSELF IN THE LEG and allegedly shot Banga by accident while in retaliation. ABC7News tweeted footage of the “All About The Money” rapper firing shots:

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake & J. Cole on ‘Like That’ from Future & Metro Boomin’s New Album, ‘We Don’t Trust You’
Just moments ago, Future and Metro Boomin released their highly-anticipated new album, “We Don’t Trust You,” to the world.
One track that immediately stands out from the project is “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar. On this particular record, the Compton native boldly takes aim at Drake and J. Cole. This seems to confirm the ongoing tension between Metro Boomin and Drake, which came to light a few months ago on social media. In the midst of this conflict, Drake referred to Metro Boomin as a ‘tweeter and deleter’ in a video response to Metro Boomin’s criticism of Drake and 21 Savage’s joint album, ‘Her Loss.’
Drake’s video sign-off, “Look at my eyes — you guys wanna do something? That’s what I thought,” prompted Metro Boomin to retaliate with a video skit referencing on “X” where the character says, “Whoa, Calm Down Jamal, Don’t Pull Out the 9.” This skit humorously portrays interactions between Black people and racist white individuals on a basketball court.

In “Like That,” Kendrick Lamar delivers incisive bars: “Sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches. I crash out, like, ‘F–k rap,’ this Melly Mell if I had to. Got two Ts with me, I’m snatchin’ chains and burnin’ tattoos, it’s up. Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe. If he walks around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3K. Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD. Muthaf–k the big three, n—a, it’s just big me. N—a, bum, what? I’m really like that.”
