Shots were fired at a house where Tekashi69 was filming a music video with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. The stars were filming a video at an $80 million estate in Beverly Hills on Thursday night when gunshots were reportedly heard ringing out. According to TMZ, police received a call at 10.25pm and rushed to the shoot. A witness told the website that eight shots were fired in an apparent drive-by.
One bullet entered a bedroom of the building. Nobody was hurt in the indicent. While Nicki had not yet arrived at the location, Kanye was in the house and immediately left after the shooting. Production of the music video was halted following the incident, which came as Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian was being evacuated from the family’s Hidden Hills home due to wildfire. Police are continuing to investigate the scene.
This comes three months after shots were fired near the set of Tekashi’s video with 50 Cent. The rappers were filming in Brooklyn when a car is believed to have shown up, with one of its occupants firing off 11 shots. Tekashi, 22, recently avoided jail time after being sentenced to four years of probation after a child sex case. The rapper – real name Daniel Hernandez – was handed the sentence by a Manhattan court, he must also complete 1000 hours of community service as well as avoid any involvement with gangs or any further arrests.
He is not required to register as a sex offender and must refrain from posting sexually explicit material or violent images of children or women. In 2015, Hernandez admitted using a 13-year-old in a sexual act. He made the confession as part of a ‘youth offender’ plea deal and this case would be closed on good behaviour after two years. Hernandez was then also required to carry out 300 hours of community service and complete his education (GED). Hours after his sentencing, one of the rapper’s crew was shot at a celebration in a restaurant where a brawl broke out.
