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.
Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.
"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
