Shortly after, reportedly because Benny and his friends were moving too slow, one of the five assailants fired a round into the rapper’s leg. The attempted robbers fled the scene shortly after, and Benny’s team called the police.

It appears that the rapper is okay, according to HotNewHipHop. In a clip obtained by the platform via No Jumper, Benny is reportedly shown entering a jet while wearing crutches.
