MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 NEW YORK - The rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him hospitalized and then under arrest. The 28-year-old rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, had just left Justin's, a restaurant owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs, with three friends when a gunman approached and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. Fabolous was hit in the thigh. He and his entourage jumped into a 2005 Dodge Magnum and fled, attracting the attention of police when they ran a red light. Officers stopped them and discovered two loaded guns in the vehicle, both of which were apparently unlicensed, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending. The rapper was in police custody after being treated at Bellevue Hospital. Police were searching for the shooter. Police did not identify the three men arrested with Fabolous, saying only that they are 18, 23 and 29 years old. The Brooklyn native's hits have included "Breathe" and "Can't Deny It." He recently took part in the taping of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, which were to air Tuesday evening. An e-mail seeking comment from a representative at Def Jam Recordings was not immediately returned early Tuesday. The label is producing the rapper's upcoming solo album, due out in December, according to Fabolous' Web page on MySpace.com. http://www.comcast.net/music/index.jsp?cat.../17/500854.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, all of the Viacom music channels are next to each other I stopped to watch a few seconds of MTV cause I luv me some Suchin Pak. An e-mail seeking comment from a representative at Def Jam Recordings was not immediately returned early Tuesday. The label is producing the rapper's upcoming solo album, due out in December, according to Fabolous' Web page on MySpace.com. I bet Russell Simmons response would be like "Fabolous has donated $49798879348793448739 to the NRA, NAACP, NYU, etc." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cartman 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 This is all over sports radio up here now, yay. Apparently Fabulous or someone in his crew stole a $50,000 gold chain from Telfair. Telfair then called up one of HIS crew to "take care" of Fabulous. Lovely. Well at least Rajon Rondo is awesome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
