OMB Peezy was reportedly targeted at a shooting that went down outside of a club in North Carolina over the weekend.
According to a report from CBS 17, the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning (April 13) outside the StarBar in east Raleigh. Witnesses say that when the club let out, over 20 shots were fired at Peezy’s sprinter van as he attempted to leave the parking lot.
“I would say about 4am is when we heard shots fired outside the club and everybody pretty much ran outside,” one witness said. “We couldn’t really tell where the shots were coming from.”
In addition to the rapper’s sprinter van, four other cars were hit with gunfire – and additional cars were damaged when Peezy’s driver sped off and hit them. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Police are investigating the shooting as an aggravated assault.
Back in 2021, police showed up at OMB Peezy’s door and told him he was under arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Peezy, who’d just gotten off a seven-year probation stint, says he didn’t understand why cops were outside.
“I was just trying to figure out what the fuck was going on, why the police at my door for,” Peezy told HipHopDX. “Because if I done did anything, I would have been gone. If I was guilty of anything, you wouldn’t have caught me at my muthafuckin’ house, straight the fuck up.”
Despite Peezy’s protests, Atlanta police and U.S. Marshals took the Alabama rapper to the Fulton County Jail with bond set at $60,000. As Peezy was led away in handcuffs, he remembers saying one sentence over and over again: “Y’all got the wrong one, baby.”
Peezy’s arrest came off the heels of an incident on February 21 in a scrapyard at 598 Wells Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Roddy Ricch and 42 Dugg were shooting a music video for their new single “4 Da Gang” when gunshots broke out, leaving three men injured. Ricch and Dugg were not harmed.
Despite fans speculating about if Peezy had beef with Ricch or Dugg, he said people were jumping to conclusions without facts.
“I don’t have no smoke with Roddy Ricch,” he told DX. “I don’t have no smoke with 42 Dugg. Nobody from CMG [Collective Music Group], no none of that. They love me over there in Roddy Ricch hood; I love them back too.”
“But you know, the internet will try to run with it and try to make their own story and shit. But I don’t have no problem with them people and they don’t have no problem with me. Like real talk, it really isn’t no beef; never was no beef.”
He was acquitted on the charges just over a year later.

Lil Yachty usually does a great job at feeding his fans new music. It seems like every other week he's got new snippets to tease or loosies dropping on DSPS whenever he feels like it. Just several hours ago, the Georgia multi-hyphenate hopped on over to his SoundCloud page, tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem, to share some long-lost recordings.
Per HipHopNMore, there's 11 in total and the origins of them range from 2022-2025. Some of you may remember that Lil Yachty updated this account almost a year ago with 14 tracks. Back then he unleased some unheard collaborations with his 2016 XXL Freshman classmate 21 Savage and singer Vory.
In the time since then, Yachty did drop off a pair of freestyles as well. But this is the latest major collection to be added to tHE CONCRETE LeaK sYstem.
Overall, the cuts here feel reminiscent of his earlier material in that they are more trap focused. However, the main some extra charm with most of the beats featuring some slightly left-field quirks.
They definitely don't relate at all to what Lil Boat has been experimenting with solo catalog wise. His 2023 album Let's Start Here. was a psychedelic rock exploration. Then, there's his 2024 collaboration joint with James Blake, Bad Cameo.
On that, Lil Yachty stepped into the London artist's soundscape in some ways by bringing his warbly singing voice to neo-soul, alternative R&B, and ambient pop.
But unfortunately for the 27-year-old, him sharing of all of this music with his fans has been interrupted to some degree. That's because Yachty is still going back and forth with former Concrete Boys group mate, KARRAHBOOO.
Her initial split from Boat's collective was a shocking development when it originally happened about a year ago. However, as the two rappers repeatedly went at each other's throats, we began to learn more. Yachty was claiming that KARRAHBOOO was incredibly disrespectful to those involved with the group.
Moreover, it led to him claiming that he was writing all of her verses and tracks. KARRAHBOOO has since retaliated, of course, but she really went after him recently. Just two weeks ago, she alleged that he mistreats women poorly overall. "U have a daughter and u treating women like this is mindblowing like I know u never see her but still that doesn’t make sense how evil this man is to women (not just me)," she said in part.
